    19 nights. Not many Greek islands cruises from Southampton so very popular, and Aurora too.

    Best act I have seen is Cream of Clapton (on four ships). He certainly can spank a plank!

    I have seen bad behaviour occasionally on all the ships, and on Cunard, Celebrity, etc. You cannot blame it on the cost of the cruise. People who pay cheap prices should not be Insulted. Cruising is for everyone.

    Try cruising solo on Arcadia and Aurora with a balcony. Inside cabin in October nearly £4000, all other cabins sold out.

    Yes, they used to do lots of curries. Personally I do not like the formal night menus but instead have chips which are lovely, with mayo.

    On Aurora last week in Force 12, water was pouring in from decks under the doors. Carpets were soaked and people on bar stools were surrounded by water. Mopping up and many towels did the trick!

    Never done a solo meeting but they are popular with those who want company. Glad they do them. Same as the other get togethers.

    Probably not so many Ligurians and Baltic's on new ships. Plus Iona has no venue suitable to hold such a private event. It was very well attended.

    Some people have insides because they cannot afford seaview or balcony. They deserve to cruise as much as the rest of us.

    Was a Peninsular cocktail evening on Aurora last week. Back to normal with choice of any drink you want. Very generous with the booze too!

    Most ships have LGBTQ meetings each day. Used to be called F of D on Celebrity and the like.

    Panama is the only place I needed yellow fever. In 2020 so may have changed now.

    Agree absolutely. Have been Ligurian for years now and get little more than Caribbean!
  14. Fionboard
    No difference between Caribbean and Ligurian really.

    Love formal nights. One of the reasons I stay with P&O. Never dress up at home so makes a change, which is what a vacation is all about for me.
  16. Fionboard
    Yes, plenty of seats on this cruise and most people are inside.

    First time ever in a seaview as balcony covered in snow did not appeal! Very cosy and light.

    Arcadia has always had plumbing problems. Apart from that she is still my second favourite after Aurora.
  20. Fionboard
    Just off Aurora. Very smooth. Priority got off at 8.45.
  21. Fionboard
    Just off Aurora. Great cruise. Some rough seas (force 12 coming home) but great weather for Norway.
  22. Fionboard
    Go for standard if you can, all have good views. I am on Aurora now in ocean view as would not use balcony in March to Norway ( minus 9 yesterday!). I have a single balcony in July as that is all they had left. They have steel frames but a glass front. They, oddly, have twin beds which cannot be converted to queens! Select is worth it if not too much more cost. Good luck.
  23. Fionboard
    Internet is £30 for last 5 days remaining on Aurora.
  24. Fionboard
    Or knotted hankies!
  25. Fionboard
    Sadly, yes. On her now and again next month and in July. All cruises were around the 3 grand area for select balcony. She is too popular!
