I always book select, mainly for the fixed dining (no point on Iona) but also to choose cabin.
-
Must be a new rule as nobody wearing masks in Spain in December.
-
Good deal. What hotel? Have just booked cruise package at Hol Inn Eastleigh for 19 night cruise in May at £314 on my own. (My usual Holiday Inn Southampton fully booked for a conference.)
-
Not necessarily. With select booking you have the option to choose cabin or let P&O choose it for you.
-
Agree absolutely.
-
Iona has water filling stations so if you take some water bottles and, say, some fruit squash you can make your own soft drinks.
-
Exactly, with fixed dining I know what time I am going to be eating and can plan my evening.
-
You can always move tables if necessary but I have only had to do that on a handful of times in over 70 cruises (I must be lucky!).

He won Dancing on Ice too. Most of the Limelight acts are ex TV talent shows! -
Agree absolutely. Have dodgy knees and hate low seating!
-
The £1 box of Tesco own brand is better!
-
The only reason I pay more for Select is to choose second sitting shared table. Not important to some but it is to me as a solo traveller. Have made good friends from dining companions.

Yes, Freedom dining is an oxymoron! -
Answering Tring's question.
-
Hope you are right.
-
Club dining on P&O is fixed time, two sittings.
-
All ships. Iona and Arvia have no club dining
-
No prawn cocktail on Arcadia at Xmas. Just unpleasant caesar salad every night. However, Xmas dinner featured a king prawn starter which was lovely.
-
On Iona there were handbags which cost more than I paid for my cruise!

Simple solution for me - only cruise on ships with fixed dining. More civilised, stress free, sociable and no queuing. Happy to pay more for this. -
Prawn cocktail appears to be replaced by Caesar salad now.

It has replaced the prawn cocktail, which is a shame. -
Buskers seem to be popular on P&O lately. Same repertoire every day and far too loud!
-
Looked at new brochure on Arcadia at Xmas and it still mentioned StP on Baltic cruises!

Seems to be mainly people who previously appeared on shows like X Factor, BGT, etc (Gareth Gates, Ray Quinn, Sara Bailey, Matt Cardle)
