Biggest problem we had with our corner aft suite on Britannia was how far it was to get back there after a hard night in the Crows Nest!😙 Loved the view over the wake,great balcony,sheltered by the superstructure on sea days,hardly used the living area or the butler so both of those were a bit of a waste!

Or the worst!😙

We loved the Crows Nest last time we were on Britannia,trouble was we were in one of the Aft suites & that seemed a blooming long way after a 'hard night in the Crows Nest!😁 We too do not have the same appetites these days but love buffets so that we can try a variety of whatever we like the look of.

Something for free,amazing,thanks for your replies guys,much appreciated!☺

We are on Arcadia in May,grateful of any info on the cost of using the laundrettes on board & how to pay for them please

We travel down for Arcadia departing on the same day,our booking confirmation says they will confirm pick up time 21 days before

Been nearly 6 years since we were last on Britannia,Brodies was very much a mix for us,loved the room but we hate Bingo,Pub Quiz's & Karaoke so we didn't get to spend much time in there!😎

Interesting,I don't know how old the article I read was,it may have been before the pandemic so that would make sense,I think it said that the Glass House would be in the East Bar. We have had some bad MDR experiences in the past which has meant having most meals in the buffets,we really enjoy buffets anyway & dining outside became our norm on our last cruise & we really got to like it! Thanks for the replies guys,much appreciated,happy travelling!😎

We are booked on Arcadia in May & am looking for some advice from those who have been on board recently,I read somewhere recently that The Glass House was to make an appearance on Arcadia,just curious as to what evidence there is of that if any. Also is there outdoor seating available at the Belvedere Buffet. Thanks in advance to any helpful posters.

Thanks for the replies guys. We have been with P&O before but it was about 5 years ago now,I knew the daily tipping had been done away with but wasn't sure if there was still an amount added to drink prices. As strange as it may seem it can be dearer to drink low alcohol/alcohol free beer than normal beer,it isn't unknown for bars to charge £8+ a pint for LA beer,,just 5 of those a day on a 19 night cruise would reach the price of the ultimate drinks package never mind the alcohol free one so maybe it isn't such a bad deal,trouble is if I was to do that every day I would be spending half the cruise in the bathroom!😂

OK hardly a new topic,I am sure these questions have been asked before but I am struggling to find answers to them! We are booked on Arcadia on her Med cruise starting May 14th,we have always avoided drink packages in the past as we have not considered them good value BUT this is a 19 night cruise involving 8 sea days,the price of two drink packages comes to £1500+ which at first seems obscene but if we each were to drink £100 worth on each sea day we would make it worth while & that doesn't seem entirely impossible but we have a couple of queries. One is I don't drink alcohol(I don't drink soda or coffee either for that matter!) so I could use the £19.95 drink package which includes Low/Alcohol Free Beers which I do drink,does anybody know if it is permissable for us to have different drink packages,if I try to order on line it makes it the same for both passengers & P&O Customer Service have to date failed to reply to any of my emails on the subject(surprise eh!). One more(possible stupid) question,is the price shown for the drink package a true price or is there a percentage to add on for tips? Thanks in advance for any help,sorry to bore you with this subject again guys!
