Live Report Arvia 14 Nights From Barbados 18th Feb onwards
daiB replied to Interestedcruisefan's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
That is the best dock for the town and is where the main cruise terminal is. The container bit is just along the dock -
Is Iona actually bunkering with LNG yet?
daiB replied to Advanced Diver's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
I was referring to cargo ships not passenger ships they must be all affected. -
If you are wanting to book on board just go to the restaurant and book a table for 3 using one cabin not a problem. I have never booked before we were on the ship but I would imagine it was possible to book for the number of people you want. Again on one cabin number.

And all other ships as well. -
Exactly book first day possible at 0800. Which is the reason why I have so many booked now. I think its 11.

Of course they are. We are not paying anywhere near what we paid for our first cruise in 2001. Some cruises in the past 5 years have been 25% down on that first cruise. Pppn. In fact we have only paid more when in a suite and that was only just over what we paid.

Untrue.

We were on her at Christmas and people were using pagers cos you could hear them in Andersons. I think the app was used as well.

Upstairs, are you thinking Arcadia.

You were being optimistic.

Andrew you are not that young to not know who The Who are

On Aurora at Christmas we had to check in with the disability team for my scooter to get a tag. Then to checkin then to the holding bay for assistance passengers. Those of us who were assistance and priority got on first. Result. On the cruise were 800 top tier passengers so 3/4 loyalty lunches all packed. Don’t expect this to be the same next month.

Only one??? 🙂

Oh. Now we are on to size now.well apart from Venice which other ports are involved or4 is it the whole of the Med. That would take out most of the Italian lines Costa MSC. -
If you are Ligurian, you will not have time to look for the bar. When we have been in a suite we have often not had time for our tea/coffee in the “lounge” it did not matter how early we got there.

I think you are comparing apples with oranges. If you were right cruising would stop completely in the med for all cruise lines without LNG ships. Which is most of them. -

????? What about all the other ships in all fleets that are not LNG. Don’t know where you got this from? -
Keep the reports coming John as we are on in 3 and a bit weeks. Glad you are enjoying the ship, again.

Expectation for disembarkation time from Iona in Southampton?
daiB replied to a topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
About right I would have thought -
I think we are on the next two.
-
Which cruise are you on in March?
-
I think Gib is following other ports and reducing the number of cruise passengers at any one time. Also if it were anything to do with duty free and the EU why do ships of non UK lines go there. And have done for a long while.
-
No not at all, read my post it was Arcadia. The people when I was there were having full meals and not top ups. As I said they outnumbered those not formally dressed. Now it may be that these were experienced cruisers and had been around when the rule was that the dress code of the day was in force over the whole ship after 18.00. This was the case up until 2007/8/9.
-
The times you are given are still by deck. That is after Caribbean and above levels which on Aurora was much later as there were over 800 top tier passengers. I have seen the list for all the older ships but not the 2 new ones.

Selbourne, The last time we were on Arcadia my OH was feeling off one night, forma;, and I went to the buffet on my own, not in DJ. I was interested to see that more than half of the diners were actually formally dressed.
