I'm currently on Britannia and I could book 9 days out. They sent the email saying you could book dining six days out.

I'll let you know after Friday!

Anyone know if you can reach the ships wifi from their terminal (in our case Ocean), we have a very late boarding time and I suspect the cookery club will book up fast and wondered if I can book it while waiting to board.

Based on that definition, which needs updating, all mobile phones are prohibited as they communicate with satellites when using the ship's wi-fi and so do all other devices that are connected to the ship's wi-fi

Its the ship that is connected to the satellite not the phones.

Nice pics thank you, we are on her next week to France and Spain.

Do you mean booking the seats 14 weeks out 😐

Booked Premium Economy today £509 each.

My travel agent told me to ring P&O to book premium, P&O then told me to ring the travel agent. I asked P&O while I was on to them if PE was available for my January 2025 flight and she said yes. Rang the travel agent and spoke to someone different and she said she would get pricing for me from P&O.

Ring P&O if you think they  are fobbing you off, they cant give you pricing but can tell you if its available.

The 14 week thing is for seat selection I do believe, not choosing you travel class

Yes you can, we use them all the time! We use the below which shows all the details. You can get them quite cheaply on Amazon

Can you ask about other airports and airlines.

 

Is it same as last year nothing off for booking your own. 

I have only ever booked the package with P&O so not sure sorry.

Got mine on Norse from Gatwick too. Thankfully, I’ve flown Norse twice already on their scheduled services and it was a great experience, so quite happy with that outcome especially given the dramas last winter. 

Thats comforting to know, did you do Premium economy or was "Cattle class" ok

Its a gamble, we booked for Jan 2025 a year ago as it is a 60th birthday with 4 generations of people. When we booked it was all London airports, ended up with Gatwick which I hate and Norse Air which I have no experience of.

In an ideal world I would have liked flights out of Birmingham on Virgin with Upper class for me and the birthday girl, ah well.

Asked if we could fly from Birmingham and got told no, then asked about upgrade to Premium for our Gatwick flight and they said there is no Premium seating. Feeling slightly deflated.

I hope this may reassure you. My son and his wife took their seven month old baby on a cruise last year, like yours he had a cough and cold on departure, GP said it was viral and well enough to travel. When they arrived onboard baby was very lethargic and they were very concerned. The doctor onboard saw him straight away, checked him over and prescribed some medication. It cost £100 for this, and they were told they could return again if necessary with no additional charge. They were very happy with the service provided. Thankfully baby perked up within a couple of days, and they had a great holiday. Most people they met were really friendly towards them and the baby.

 

Think they will be back by now!

When we enquired it was £500 per person to upgrade to Premium Economy. As there's 4 of use we decided it wasnt worth it.

Was that (hopefully) both ways?

not anymore as like I said you are only allowed 15 alcoholic drinks per person per every 24 hour period and I believe once you hit your 15 alcoholic drink before the 24 hour period you are in is up you will stopped from buying anymore alcoholic drinks until the new 24 period starts.well I'm guessing that is how it will work on P&O Cruises from now on anyway 

Well in all my years of having the drinks package they have let me go over or once you get to know the crew they will say you have hit 15 drinks but your partner is on say 10 and will put it on their card. Looked it up and you can go over if you pay:

Ooh Birmingham wasnt an option when I booked, wonder if they will let us change from London airport to Birmingham, that would save us a lot of hassle.

We are going on a Saturday to Arvia, cant see the carrier for that?

Once you hit the 15 drink limit with the package you can carry on drinking but you have to pay for it

In Southampton we were able to arrive at any time of our choosing, whether that was because we are elite I dont know? 

I'm on 27 cruises with Princess. To not have any priority boarding in Fort Lauderdale was quite annoying especially after US customs at Miami airport. Anyone that has flown to Miami will know what I mean!

Would be nice to see Southampton keeping to the good old days of boarding.

Quick boarding (very) 

We were on Caribbean Princess in December and there is no Elite priority boarding any more, was quite frustrating as it took us a good hour of queuing at Fort Lauderdale

A cold is a virus, anti-biotics will not help as they are anti bacterial. You just have to ride a cold out unfortunately.

Can you tell me what films are showing please, I know it might change in the 6 weeks until we get on but would appreciate an idea of what to expect.

Did you notice if there was 10% off the classic drink package when you got on please? When I was looking at this cruise it was offered with 10% off then by the time I booked it had gone! Not sure whether to wait until we board and hope its 10% off or just bite the bullet.
