Is the epicurean only £28 per person? For some reason I thought it was much more than that.

Yes and it is worth every penny.

Lasted 15 minutes in the show then left.

Have received two different sets of luggage labels. One set is the usual one showing cabin number on one side and cruise number on the other in green for deck C.. The other set, sent via e-mail, is totally different being yellow and grey stripes in a pink surround with a large 6F printed on it. It also has our cabin number in smaller letters. Have phoned P+O and no-one seems to know what is going on. Has anyone else received same?

Have taken cases to Southampton a few times when joining world cruises. Very efficient service from Fred. The labels were sent to us 3 weeks before departure. Our cases were waiting for us in our cabin when we arrived on board. Would not hesitate to do this again. Hope this helps.

Got off Balmoral yesterday and lots of people coughing and spluttering.

The cabin had tea and coffe facilities with supplies replenished daily. Also a digital safe, and a hairdrier which worked very well for me - but I have short hair. There was also plenty on storage and two double wardrobes. If you look at the side view of the Balmoral, 8031 is where there is some framework between the lifeboats so that the view is good. Hope that this helps.

Many thanks.:)

We were on 8 Deck (cabin8031) on the Agatha Christie Cruise in October/November. The cabin had a partially restriced view, but the view was still very good - we were between lifeboats. We found the location, comfort and space of the cabin to be very good and in fact much better than the photo on the web site. However we were subjected to Force 8 conditions in the Bay of Biscay, and on looking around the ship, found that there was much less movement the lower down the ship that we went, so on reflection, if we go on the Balmoral again, we shall probably opt for a Deck 6 B Grade cabin. I am sure that you will love the Balmoral - we did.

We are in 8031 next year. Are there tea and coffee making facilities in the cabin.

Go to yourcruisecabin.com and see reviews for cabins on all ships. If your cabin is not listed sometimes a similar one can be found. Hope this helps.
