Andy Willard was the most engaging captain I have sailed with. Got involved in everything and his announcements were hilarious.
-
We had welcome aboard lunch and a Peninsular lunch at Xmas.
-
Huge queues for Freedom dining on last Xmas cruise. Started building up about 5.30 before MDR even open! Maybe people trying to get tables for two? Do not know as I was on fixed dining upstairs with no problems.
-
Porto Venere is lovely
-
Yes, a couple of things are standard on the menu every night (chicken and steak usually). Always been that way.
-
Did have problems on Britannia maiden (2015 I think). However, back on her again within months and have cruised on her seven times since. One of my favourites now. Point I was making is, do not take too much notice of bad press about maidens or let it put you off.
-
To be fair, most maidens are a disaster. I remember Britannia.
-
Yes, we had a nice peaceful evening last night. Departure delayed today due to deep clean following norovirus. All back to normal now and looking forward to Hamburg (hopefully)!

Britannia Christmas 2022 Goes Live!!!!!!!

Similar problems on Iona a few weeks ago. Cheap cruises equals more trouble in my experience. No behaviour problems on Arcadia at present. Hope peace and goodwill to all continues over New Year! -

And expensive! -
Currently in Force 11 off Dover with weather deteriorating so Arcadia docking tonight (with assistance from tugs). Pretty lively out here.
-
All have been available on Arcadia this cruise.
-
Absolutely! We are the ones with the time and the money to keep the ships going!
-
I have this one too, currently, and it is larger, more comfortable and with better storage than Iona.
-
What a silly comment!

Tap water tastes better than the tins (as long as you chill it)! -

Have seen 6 ships there once. Think they are going to limit number of pax sometime. It is just too small for such an invasion. -
I am Ligurian and get both. So generous of P&O!
-
Mine was select.
-
The big ships are the destinations rather than the ports, it seems.
-
My 14 nights last month select balcony on Iona was £1000 with £375 obc. Desperate to fill the big ones. As you say, Jeanlyon, smaller ships sell out.
-
Absolutely agree. Did August Arcadia Baltic this year too and it was one of the best cruises ever. In fact would not fancy cruises with SPB as have done it six times and did not even get off there the last time!
-
If you are not getting off, sit on the left for best view.
-
Riga,Visby, Tallinn, Skagen, Fredericia - need I go on?! Baltic and Scandinavia are wonderful without SPB. Just left Copenhagen, now in Oslo on Arcadia. Americans are very scared of risk. Shame.

First Xmas gift from P&O received this week. Bottle of Merlot and personalised chocolates.
