In my experience its the same price onboard.

Thank you 👍

Thank you, greatly appreciate your confirmation.  Do you know if there is any advantage in purchasing the iternet package prior to travel?

Hi All

If you take the internet package are you able to make voice calls and/or send pictures via Whatsapp.

Many thanks in advance

We are on a TUI flight travelling on the 15th December (Britannia) and paid £30 per person per reserved seat, so £120 in total. We are also in Premium

hi all,just joined the site :D

I will be cruising on the brittannia on the 18 august for the first cruise on my own,i was a bit nervous about going on my own but having read the comments in this post I feel much better,

Hi Tiny 179, You will have to come back here and let me know how it went and what I can expect from my first solo trip on Britannia:)

Solo traveller coffee mornings are usually only on sea days. Occasionally, on longer longer (+14 days) there will be get together (probably unhosted) on port days, often a group will then decide to go ashore together.

Thanks for clarifying:)

Also they sometimes have coffee mornings to meet before going ashore. I would do this in the Caribbean; though I prefer going alone in Europe or Scandanavia some of the Caribbean ports don't feel as safe.

Clodia - is the purpose of the coffee morning so that solo's can meet up and go ashore together?

I completely understand your comment re safety. I am a little nervous as this will be my first time doing a solo cruise and my first time to the Caribbean. My intention is to book all the excursions with P & O.

Any advice you can give to a virgin solo traveller would be greatly appreciated

I am booked on a caribbean cruise this Dec on Britannia and as this will be my first solo cruise I am not sure what to expect.

Do P & O still arrange events for solo travellers. I would really appreciate any advice that solo travellers can offer.

Many thanks in advance

I have also been affected by the cancellation, I was due to sail from Marseille on the 9th of June for a 7 day cruise. Obviously I was extremely disappointed when I received the e-mail yesterday morning. However, sh*t happens and there is nothing I can do to change the situation.

I wasn’t going to post re the cancelation, however the above post has prompted me to. I known every persons experience is different, what I post here is my personal experience.

I can not speak highly enough about the way MSC has handled this situation with me. They have done everything in their power to try and assist me. I have not had any problems getting through to them va the general contact number, they have called me back a number of times and they have corresponded with me via e-mail. My refund is in hand and I have already booked a replacement cruise. I really feel for the staff as they are having to deal with thousands of calls following the cancellation.

Sidari, thanks for sharing, i join her is 90 (ish) days.

JPMoore - thanks for the heads up!!

I see they have cruises listed for Apr, May, Aug & sept. Do you think that is the final listing. We were looking to travel in july 2019 so I am a little disappointed. I incorrectly assumed they would be sailing ex southampton for summer 2019. Oh well roll on June for our trip on Seaview

Hi mark

Thanks for the information

I did call today, however didnt manage to speak to Stuart Chalmers. I spoke to a very nice/helpful lady who confirmed they are still uploading the preziosa cruises in to their website, hence the delay. She asked me for my contact details and said she will call me directly when they go on sale. I suspect they will go on sale very soon:)

Hi Panamapd

Thank you, very useful. Do you happen to know when it may go on sale in the UK?

Bea, this wil be a return visit to Preziosa. We did out first MSC cruise on Preziosa in YC in 2016, loved the YC so much we did meraviglia 2017 and yet to come, Seaview 2018 :D. I am enjoying reading the Seaside reviews, both good and bad.

Hi Bea, I join the seaview on the 9th of June this year, however my hubby and I have a big mile stone to celebrate next year and thought a cruise ex UK in yacht club would be nice.

Hi Bea, I am most likely being thick, as I don’t get it. Any chance you could try and cryptically explain it to me. Looking to book Preziosa for July 2019.

Thanks Mark

Double yay!! Noticed the e-mail states, sales opening soon. I wonder when that will be.

Sidari - Thank you for posting these lovely photos

Apologies if this one has already been posted. We have booked a YC1 on seaview in june 2018, so very interested in the seaside..

Hi Bea, I hope hurricane Ophelia was kind to you today. Keep safe

Best wishes, Ashling

Hi Bea

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I didnt see your post prior to travel, as we decided to have a pre & post cruise holiday, we got back yeterday afternoon.

We had a amazing cruise in 18012. They seemed to have ironed out most of the issues, as on the whole we had no problems.

Really looking forward to our next yacht club experience on the seaview next year.

Thanks for doing the live review as it definately helped us to know what to expect.

Kind regards

Ashling

Thanks for sharing and enjoy the moment. Is this the only in door area where you can smoke?

Following, we sail in two weeks in yacht cub. All info will be greaty appreciated. Wshing you a fab cruise:cool: two years is a long, long time to wait
