  1. Apparently, it is now Batthem and Superthem. Oh, and Binthem!! LOL
  2. Went on Ventura after refit (think it was 2018) and noticed some internal improvements like new carpets and furniture. Plus improved lighting ad general spruce up. Cabin had new carpet (at last!) but still the same old TV.
  3. Or walk off a few calories! The tuk tuks are fun!
  4. With staff shortages and supply chain problems, I don't think the galley would be too happy if lots of people started asking for items not appearing on the menu though.
  5. Yes, had this problem on the Solstice class ships, even in the Sunset Bar occasionally.
  6. 17 minutes if you are Usain Bolt! City terminal is closest, almost next to Holiday Inn. Walked it to Celebrity Eclipse once. Took me about 17 minutes pulling my suitcases!
  7. Cruise package at Holiday Inn includes 15 days parking and costs on average about £240 depending on time of year (not available during boat show though).
  8. P&O cruises from Southampton do but obviously longer ones.
  9. No. I have occasionally booked saver. If I got early sitting I was always able to change it to the late one.
  10. A pair of cheap crampons is a good idea. Very icy when I went and I slipped over even in good boots. Mine cost ten quid and quick to put on over any footwear. But don't wear them indoors!
  11. Quite a distance if you have to lug cases or if weather is bad. I always have cruise package with taxi included.
  12. Never know until you get on board. Could be fixed or freedom depending on ship.
  13. Yes, in 2019. Very rough seas and blizzards in Norway. Going again next month so hoping for better weather this time. But weather is so unpredictable nowadays!
  14. Do not need middle name. Relax and enjoy your cruise.
  15. Yes, the high prices on the remaining two small adults only ships shows how popular they still are.
  16. Did numerous cruises last year and never asked to show passport. Most ports you are not even asked to take passport ashore ( although I always have a copy of it - just in case!).
  17. I was on this one. Must say I prefer Toulon to Marseilles any day. Lovely old town and nice beach.
  18. Seems the distribution of P&O largesse is pretty random!
  19. Booked a cruise yesterday and options still there. Decided on saver fare this time (1100 quid cheaper) as I already have 4 select criuises booked for this year. Got to watch the pennies!
  20. Did Northern Lights cruise on Arcadia November 2019 and had snow blizzards every day in Norway. Snowmen on the aft deck but no lights!
