Thank you for your concern ,that is very kind of you , I had orif surgery 10 days later and have a plate and 9 screws fitted ! All very painful, still having physio and hydrotherapy weekly and range of movement is still quite limited but it is improving slowly , I have been curious since then as to what was said to the passengers about the slight delay !

Thank you about the information about the ship's number on the horizon, we read these every day and have been on a number if cruises but never realised that before which would have made contacting the shop a lot easier !

I am sure it would , the only reason I rang my niece in England was in my pain and befuddled state and trying to think how to contact the ship it just seemed easier to ring her ! As long as you contact the ship and I am sure the hospital would help you with this, the care team on board take care of everything else , can't speak for other lines but p & o were very good .

I was worried about missing our ship , Azura, in April this year due to an accident ! We had disembarked in La Rochelle ready for a day of sightseeing in this very pretty port, had been there about 5 minutes and busy reading my map tripped up a step and fell , my arm was very painful and I feared I had injured it quite badly , ambulance to local hospital confirmed a break to top of humerus and displacement , I was in agony ! Doctor said I would need surgery but could go home for that but needed to wait for orthopaedic surgeon to confirm this , I then started yo worry about getting back to the ship , my niece works for p&o in Southampton so I rang her , she got in touch with ship to let them know and port services who picked us up when we finally got the all clear and were driven right to the gangplank ! I think we were a bit late leaving but very relieved they waited for us !

Thanks everyone x really helpful comments, with the amount of daylight I don't think we would be out on balcony much !

Thanks Sunshine Boy , that has helped a lot ! Did you enjoy christmas on board ?

Thanks for replies guys ,cruise goes to amsterdam ,Sweden ,copenhagen ,Norway and a couple of other places, just wondering if we would miss out on any thing while in ports ? Pretty sure we wouldn't be using it entourage, southampton start and finish, it would be me and my husband in one cabIn and my 2 daughters who are in their late teens in another , we have never been away at Christmas before and would still like a summer cruise so am trying to keep costs down so am grateful for any thoughts , thank you

Hi everyone , looking for some advice ! Thinking of booking a Christmas cruise for 2016 , liking the look of the Northern Europe one which is a P&o one, my question is do you think you need a balcony cabin on this one ? I love balcony cabins for the extra room but also am quite happy and snug in an inside cabin ! Being that's it's winter time , necessary or not ? Thank you in advance Gill

Thanks Hoopster 95, your idea sounds great and easier than getting to station with all the luggage , any idea how long you can leave it and what time it shuts ? Thanks

Thanks for your replies , I think we can leave luggage in luggage stores at bus station

Hi everyone , we are going on the splendour of the seas on the 1st August and have booked couple of nights before cruise in Venice , our problem is when we disembark on 8th August , our flight is not until 9 in the evening! We booked quite quickly yesterday and have now realised to change flight is quite expensive so any suggestions as to what we can do with luggage so we can enjoy last day rather than sitting in airport ? Thanks in advance
