Thankyou all for your replies really appreciate it 😀

Travelling on Ventura N929 noticed that we leave from Ocean Terminal can someone please explain the procedure for dropping the car off is it at the terminal or a nearby car park. Thankyou 

Bergen. We went up funicular get there early to avoid queues and then walked back down. Great views from top and woodland walk littered with troll carvings. Brings you out in town and the able to do market and Bryggen at own pace. Great port.

Alesund

Can highly recommend Land of the Trolls tour a P&O excursion

Great guide amazing scenery superb meal in an idyllic setting and still back to the ship in time to wander round the town independently

Which cabin have you booked? Have had great aft views from B748 :)

Going to Baltic next week on Arcadia. Looking for tips on Oslo and Visby.

Tours arranged for st Petersburg Tallin Helsinki and Copenhagen

Thankyou

Thanks for all your help. All sorted painlessly .

Hope someone can help please

I booked a cabin on Aurora 2019 as a single traveller now my son would like to join me.

How do I go on adding him to the booking please

I booked the cabin on the day that the cruises were launched last September .

Thankyou

Good morningI am shortly to travel on Arcadia for the first time although I have cruised on all the rest of P&O fleet.

Arcadia offered me the itinary for the dates I needed so what can I expect: Best bar, sunbathing spot, viewpoint and any other tips. This is the first time I have sailed adults only too. Thanks

Hi am visiting Oporto for the first time in July any advice on what to do would be much appreciated thankyou.

Out of curiosity was any other piece of mail handed over personally or just this one?

Hi no he just handed me the form on its own and returned later with end of cruise questionnaire which he seemed to be more concerned about .

Just got of Oceana and form handed to me in my hand by cabin steward screwed it up and put it in bin and tipped as I have always done personally !

Hi have sailed on Aurora several times and I can recommend A304 it is an inside cabin but so close to the outside deck. I think there are about six in a sort of U shape they are huge inside. If you not bothered about window save your money and try one of these.

I too I too can recommend boat trip to Cies Island really beautiful beaches and scenery.

In Cartagena did a ships tour Tapas Trail it was brilliant walked all around Cartagena with a great guide and had tapas ( different ones at each) stop and took in the Roman remains. The guide was a Spanish girl who was studying English and had handpicked all the bars herself. It was an excellent tour.

Which ship you on Swindonpete? Seems strange to book trips before we have paid final balance. My sister did this trip last year with p&o and said it was worth every penny

Have just booked two day St Petersburg small group tour for our Arcadia cruise in August it was showing limited availability so booked it. Very much looking forward to our Baltic Cruise and first trip on Arcadia.

I too walked the circular route as described by Presto.

The views were great and we just took our time it's a super way to view the coastline and burn off a few calories. We loved La Corunna enjoy it .

Hi I have cruised into Dubrovnik several times here are my trip tips

Agree with all thee comments about walking the walls of need currency make water and go early. Great views and go at own pace.

Done the cable car car too twice get shuttle bus to Pile gate and then cablecar station about five minute walk look up and look for cables!!!!

Again need currency or pay on credit card short journey to top but then amazing views and all facilities including a bar where you can view the panorama.

Last year did a Tuk Tuk tour ship organised and it was amazing picked up from quayside and travelled with another couple along lovely country roads seeing the sights from a different perspective. The guide was excellent and made regular stops in the two hour trip for photo opportunities. One of the stops was at the cable car station ( so anyone afraid of cable cars this is good for you)

Tour finished at Pile Gate and we then spent time in Dubrovnik and caught shuttle bus back. Anyone considering this trip book an early time slot as the roads are quieter and it's not too hot.

Love Dubrovnik never tire of it .

Not sure of itinary but I too can recommend trip to top of Teide amazing views great guide worth every penny.

Gomera an absolutely beautiful island a trip through the National Park not to be missed.

La Palma did island tour from ship very interesting guide who made the trip.

Enjoy

Happy New Year to all fellow cruisers,

Travelling on Oceanas repositioning cruise in March and are visiting Marseille. A new port for us anyone any suggestions of places to visit or shore excursions or even what to do in port.

Many thanks.

Thankyou everyone for all your replies and suggestions. Now it's just a case of waiting for the new itineries to be released.:)

After many years of travelling with my son I have decided that it is time to venture off on my own. Having been widowed ten years ago I am used to doing things myself but I also know that there are really friendly people on cruises to chat too.

Has anyone got any good recommendations of single Cabins across the fleet then when 2019 itineries are published I can see what's available.

Many thanks:)

Thanks for all the replies re my impending first outing with Cruise Connect. Pick up half an hour later than when travelled previously with Evesway from Preston.

Fingers crossed for luxury both ways:)

Hi travelling on Aurora in two weeks time and using Intercruises transfer from North West. Have previously used Eavesway but this time coach was offered at booking. Just wondered if anyone had travelled with Intercruises recently and how they compare. Thankyou.

Good morning

I would agree with Kruzseeka use the hoho bus. The route I would recommend is from Funchal ( tickets from waterfront) then it goes a little around Funchal before going along the old coast road to Camara de Lobos. Nice sleepy fishing village can I suggest Coral bar on seafront for a drink.

Also hoho bus you can buy an extra in the form of a trip to Cabo Girao where there is a glass floored platform over the cliff with great views. All facilities here toilets cafe and gift shop.

The hoho bus then takes you back down to Camara de Lobos where you then go back to Funchal.

Audio headsets are provided and wi fi can be picked up.

A great way to see Madeira costs about 18 euros for day pass.

Also I agree Pasteis de nat a amazing try the ones from Opan in Funchal a great cheap coffee and cake shop about five branches in Funchal all around the town.

I travel to Madeira a lot as well as cruising any questions ask I will try to help.

Hi returned from a similar itinerary in April this is my suggestions of the ports.

Lisbon.

As said a great port with lots to see and do public transport is easy, trams buses and the metro are all accessible. No trip needed here.

Valencia

A wonderful city similar to Bilbao. We walked miles that day but with a toddler I would recommend the area around the science park and the oceanariums. The science park has a tourist train that takes you round the outskirts and Thenmaybe you could independently visit the oceanarium. You can walk from the ship in about fifteen minutes. The ships shuttle drops you in the town centre if you choose to go there the market is amazing.

Cartagena

We did the ships tour Tapas Trail it was an amazing trip led by a student studying English. She took us to places I would never have found independently. The ship docks in the town so very doable on your own

Gibraltar

We took a tour from the taxi drivers at the port £25 each went to Viewpoints St Michaels Caves Garrison and then he dropped us in the town and we walked back to the ship ( our choice) This was a two hour trip with all admission included oh sorry went to see apes as well

Cadiz

Great port to wander went to Seville on another visit disappointed though too many gypsies haranguing you.

Hope this helps a bit.
