We always tip room service. Just a £1 a time usually for cabin breakfast if we want to be up and off the ship.

Many thanks for replying.

Hello has anyone been in cabin A626 on Britannia . We have been allocated this cabin and wonder is there noise from the restaurant above.

Thanks in advance

Mary

The problem with the premium cabin is that the seats are 2-3-2 and as many passengers travel in pairs it means that the window and aisle are booked first and the centre rows are then booked as a two next leaving an odd seat on the aisle.these odd seats then seem to get allocated at the airport meaning that couples are then seated one behind the other. Appreciate that many people travel in singles or groups but in my experience this is what has happened in premium economy on a number of fly cruises.

We always try to book premium cabin and do pay the extra to reserve specific seats ...the two by the windows. They do go quickly though as most people travel in twos and seem to prefer them. The middle rows are in 3 s and it tends to be that single seats are left to be allocated at the airport.

We have done both and prefer the Friday flight as we find it quite depressing once we have arrived back in Barbados and it's as though the cruise is over as they start loading the ship with provisions for the next cruise and passengers are leaving and arriving. They are washing balconies down. We prefer the day in port at the beginning when we awake early and go to the beach for the day. But it's all down to personal preference.

We have stayed in c 616 and C616 on Ventura and Azura and never had any problems. Enjoy your cruise.

Hi, we travelled in one of these cabins as 3 adults and found that the double sofa bed was very comfortable. It was used as a sofa during the day and made into a bed by the steward whilst we were at dinner every evening.

As long as they don't try to take my sunbed I can't say that it bothers me :)

Over the years we have seen a few topless sunbathers on the top deck sunbathing areas.

One item that you may want to consider if you are booking a balcony cabin is to avoid A deck if possible as you may get noise early morning as they move sunbeds. Also the apertures for the balcony so are bigger on B deck than C deck which give you a slightly better view.

Hope this helps

Mary we were told by P & O that it would be late May.

Thanks Sue, that's helpful x

Somebody is trying to make a joke Mary. As though it would be sold to Cruise and Maritime. Take no notice. I don't know the answer to your question though.

Thanks, the "joke" passed me by.

Thanks,but not sure why P&O Adonia cruises will be announced on the Cruise and Maritime site?

:confused:

Does anyone have any idea when the Adonia 2016/17 cruises will be available to view.

Thanks

We were considering booking this one but it's not expensive enough for us :) :) :D:D

A colleague of mine works at a travel agency and I am able to see the itineraries.

There are missing some cruises of Ventura and Oceana maybe I will put them tomorrow here.

Hi Do you have any info on Adonia 2016 please

Thanks Richleeds

Thanks Sue, that's useful information. Hopefully they will have finished the alterations by Jan 2016 :)

I also have had diet 7 up on Board Azura and Ventura in a 330ml can. This was from the pool bars.

Not asked for it in any of the other bars.

I agree. I have long held the opinion that it is we, the British, who are the world's most proficient sun-bed nabbers. I have witnessed this frantic activity both in hotels and on cruise ships. We always book a balcony so we never have to partake in this unsavoury frenzy. Perhaps vouchers should be issued to those with inside/outside cabins so that they are guaranteed a sunbed if they wish to lie in the sun. Those with outdoor space, ie. balconies, could take up the slack, as it were. As a couple, if we ever lounge around on deck (which is rare, as my husband doesn't 'do' sitting), once we decide to move, that's it - sunbed is up for grabs. Wouldn't dream of keeping it for later.

So people who pay less for inside cabins/outside cabins get a voucher for a guaranteed sunbed on deck. I don't think so. I certainly don't want to spend the cruise sitting on a chair on the balcony that has cost more than twice the price of an inside and may be in the shade some days, while folk who have paid considerably less for their cabins get the sunbeds on deck. I think it's back to the drawing board on your idea.

Hi Graham, email sent.

Hi Graham, yes we are also staying at the Delfino and would be fine to share transport from the ship to Mestre. If you want to send a PM we can discuss details.

Regards Mary.
