    Sounds normal for a short New Year cruise. Was the same last year on Arcadia.

    Madeira fireworks were spectacular. Seven ships in. We were lucky to be berthed. Happy New Year to everyone.

    Just checked mine. Matermoll Majestic.

    Think they are Italian. Will see if mine has a label when I return from shore this evening.

    Same thing last month on Ventura. And Arcadia recently. Seems normal now on many ships. Covid now not the main problem.

    I grew up on a sailing ship. Dad at the wheel, up to his knees in water (self draining cockpit) and me being sick down in my bunk. Not much phases me after that!

    On the beach in Tenerife.

    🙄 Obviously!

    Good idea. Particularly during term time.

    I have seen anti social behaviour on all ships, including Cunard and Celebrity. Drink is usually to blame and, thankfully, these incidents are not commonplace. Best to avoid the pub and pool area!

    I had a YF exemption in the yellow book (for Panama). Was told at checkin that this was perfectly acceptable. Rules seem to differ all the time.

    Think there will always be a demand for adults only cruises. Not all pax on the two small ships are elderly and they are very popular. Virgin, I believe, are adults only and they are aimed at the younger "party" crowd. Not for me obviously!

    Boarding Arcadia today, third time this year. She is in good shape for her age (not much older than Ventura) . I am sure you will enjoy her.

    I have been on Aurora 3 times this year and boarding Arcadia today for the third time this year. Love both ships (despite the cost) and hope they are around for some time yet. If one were to go, I think Ventura would make a good adults only replacement.

    No Xmas stress for me. Joining Arcadia tomorrow. Have a good one everybody. ⛄

    Same on Iona. Horrendous noise at night. After a few sleepiness nights I went to Reception. Huge queue of people all there for the same thing. Gave up! Never heard anything like it on any other ship.

    I have and it was very good. Lovely hotel. That was a while ago though.

    I have not been on Iona or Arvia this year so can only speak for the other ships.

    Hope she is looked after. Noro has been prevalent on all ships this year. Bad on Ventura last month, and on Arcadia a couple of times. Tender ports missed, parties canceled, etc. as a result. Just got to live with it like we did with covid.

    Lots of lady waiters in MDR on my cruises this year. In fact, have noticed many more ladies working in cabins and bars too than there used to be. They are lovely.

    And half price laundry is handy on longer cruises.
  23. Fionboard
    But no loyalty tier benefits and much more expensive drinks!
  24. Fionboard
    I cruise mainly on the two smaller ships as a solo. They are popular so can be very expensive, particularly for a balcony cabin. Even so, their cruises seem to sell well. If Aurora were to go, I think they could fill Ventura as an adults only ship.

    Heard a poorly person being taken off.
