Yes, we were on that cruise. We felt really sorry for the crew members who had been looking forward to meeting up with family in New York.

I use a website called BookBub. They email you a list of free or 99p books every day of your favourite genres. I also like crime and this has opened me up to lots of new authors as well as books by my favourite writers.

We were on that Baltics cruise too and were definitely told that they were a new troupe. They were very good.

Yes thank you! Nice early check in time but we are on the coach😅

When are you on Ventura? We go on 28th. Looking forward to it!

Whilst on Aurora in August we booked a cruise for later this month. We were surprised to find that the deposit had gone up to £100 each! I have no idea if this is across all the ships though.

Not done this particular route but have done the Hilton Park one many times. I don't think there are set stops to be honest. Sometimes we get a stop and others we don't. We never find out until the driver announces the itinerary at the beginning of the journey. Some of the coaches have toilets and some don't... Yours would be a longer journey so hopefully at least one stop.

We were on that cruise too and really enjoyed the syndicate quiz. All of our team looked forward to meeting up for it. The Horlicks afterwards was lovely too!

We have just returned from Aurora cruise and dined in The Beachhouse, Sindhu and Glasshouse. We dine early so I think it was easier for us especially for the Glasshouse where it is basically first come, first served. We ate three times there as the food was so good. Beachhouse and Sindhu, we booked on the 'app'. Got into both but they filled up as the cruise progressed. I did pop to the Beachhouse to confirm something about my booking to find that it wasn't on their system although it was clearly on my phone. The problem was soon sorted. The food in all three was lovely! Booked again for 2 cruises next year!😅

We booked on board last year for an upcoming cruise. There was an offer just for that day of £50 each extra OBC. The price was right and there was generous OBC for that cruise already. The passed it on to our TA who gave us extra discount! Win win! 😃

Hi Rose. The NHS website says not, but thinking could well have changed over the years.

You cannot catch shingles from chickenpox. You can get chicken pox from shingles though, hence the confusion. When one has had chickenpox the virus stays dormant in the body and can reactivate as shingles later on.

It's ironic that plastic straws are removed as are the sailaway flags yet P and O do nothing to discourage passengers from leaving plastic ducks around the ships? A strange one for me but I daresay some folks are getting pleasure from it. Perhaps I'm showing my age 😅

Thank you everyone. Great information!

Hi there. I'm looking for advice from people who have done Scandinavian/Baltic cruises. We are joining Aurora in July for a Scandinavian cruise and will be visiting Sweden (3 ports) and Denmark. I see that both of these countries have their own version of Krona. My query is, would we actually need to get local currency or do they accept card payments in most places? I don't want to be left with lots of Krona as we may not do this itinerary again. Thanks in advance. Kate
