P&O Cruisers - What are things like where YOU are?
P&O SUE replied to Host Sharon's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Morning all, my Mum’s birthday today so I met them (mum and dad) in a lovely local cafe and brought them breakfast, I mentioned it was her birthday near the end and she brought over a large slice of cake with a candle in! Everyone sang happy birthday and clapped! We got it boxed up and they took it home, I expect they’ll share it later as it was a huge slice! I start work at 1pm today, I must remember….! -

All being well I’ll be onboard soon so I’ll let you know. It’s only four nights though so might be different and we’re overnight in port one night so I expect many will be onshore that evening. Even before the app the first night can be a bit manic so I’ve booked the first night in the Epicurean, feeling smug now as I’ve just looked and there’s only 6pm left now that night! -

Ventura, where I’ve just booked the Epicurean, I’ve paid the full amount now. It’s not like the MDR queue just to get in. I got my peninsula discount so was happy to pay. -
In Porto take the P&O shuttle into the town, I thought it was only 25-30 minutes. Where you are dropped off there was a land train but we got the HoHo bus that included a boat ride on the river, fabulous views !

Fantastic review thanks @Presto2 good detail. We last went on Britannia last year for a three night cruise and the only night the booking system went ‘wrong’ was the formal night. It still annoys me when I think of it now! We waited for nearly two hours in the virtual queue and when we decided to go and ask at the restaurant they said our table had been ready for ages but we hadn’t been notified on the app! I wanted to go to the Glasshouse but I was overruled 🙄 Knowing that the first night is often chaos in the MDRs I’ve just booked the Epicurean for our first night on Ventura coming up soon!

We finally have some sun! Started the day with thick white cloud so was very grumpy! Now sitting in the garden although the breeze is quite strong! -

Yes I had one a few weeks ok to bid for a higher cabin. Glad I didn’t go for it as I’m very happy with my 12.30 embarkation time. Yesterday I got another email for more bidding - £50 each for a deluxe balcony. I’m staying where I am though. We go in only 2 weeks so I’m surprised they’re still offering them. There were all level of suites as well. -

Same here in North Kent, thick white cloud again! I’m getting heartily fed up of weather forecasters saying ‘ another lovely sunny day’ It’s not here! My ‘social media’ memory tells me I was at Southampton this day in 2015 off to the Canaries! Take me back! Mind you in the photo I’m holding a strawberry daiquiri in my hand and it was overcast - I can still feel the cold glass in my hand! -

when I went to Norway our first stop was Stavanger and I thought ‘it’s lovely but no more stunning than the Lake District’ - then we went to Olden and Flam and my jaw dropped! -

We always walk to the far end of the buffet on Ventura and Azura, always plenty of seats there ☺️ -

Hello all, I’m fed up here on the North Kent coast because we’ve had some sun lately but also a lot of dull days with a very keen wind. My heating came on this morning and it was only on 16! Anyway, more exciting I’ve got my boarding time for my short cruise in 3 weeks time. 12.30, very happy with that! -

One of my favourite cruise memories, cruising out of Olden on Ventura with a window seat while we ate in The Beach House, fabulous! -

Morning all, very very dull here again! Fed up of it, I need sun! Supposedly suppose to brighten up soon but the forecast has said that a lot recently. Our corner seems to miss it! Hope everyone has a good weekend 😊 -
Yes it’s a great itinerary, these experiences are putting me off too! In Pandemic times I had a Ventura cruise cancelled that was a similar itinerary . How upsetting that is now!

When I’ve been to Gunwharf before I always said I’d like to stay at the Holiday Inn there. I highly recommend the Spinnaker Tower, great views and we spent ages watching the Isle of Wight ferry coming in and out, it’s a tight manoeuvre! I’ve been on her twice before both in inside cabins. I love that style of ship. Lovely prom deck. Even though Azura was our first cruise Ventura was the place we discovered the Glasshouse. This time we’ve got a balcony on Lido deck, it’s only 4 nights so we weren’t too fussed where the balcony was. C deck has the largest balconies they look huge. Bit worried about some recent feedback of her but seen much better reviews lately . I’ll report back. -

Yes I like a large hat! I often sit with a group of friends outside and I’m the only one with a hat! I have discovered bronzer too but I’m not keen on my pale face 😄 -

Ah yes but we didn’t know any better then did we? It was called ‘sun tan lotion’ so sounded like it gave us a sun tan! I’m very careful nowadays especially my face as it seems to go very red now and it didnt before so now I have tanned arms and a pale face as I’m always putting sun cream on my face! Hope you’re healing ok x
