scrapycruiser Posted May 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Are there any lectures offered on the British Isle cruise ? Any photography classes offered ? Just 5 days to go !! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted May 18, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yes, there will be lectures and probably a photography class. However, the British Isles cruise is a very port-intensive cruise so there aren't a lot of sea days. Chances are that you'll have to make a choice if there is more than one thing you'd like to do happening at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted May 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I don't remember any of those classes or lectures being offered but we did have an arts & crafts person onboard who held some classes. The itinerary is so port-intensive that it's hard to hold the lectures & classes at night when the public rooms are being used for other entertainment and people are exhausted.

Rare PescadoAmarillo Posted May 18, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Princess is just this year changing its policy regarding lecturers. We were told that, unless a itinerary had a significant number of sea days, lecturers would no longer be provided. So that particular itinerary (British Isles), regardless of the history- and culture-rich ports, might not qualify for hiring outside lecturers. Princess is going more the way of having the bridge officers present a navigational lecture and the technical department put on a lecture about their responsibilities, and is even providing corporate PowerPoint presentations to the ships. Most other "lectures" are sales pitches for the spa, photography department, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted May 18, 2014 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I have done 3 cruises around the British Isles with Princess and because of the number of ports we didnt have that many sea days and there were no lectures onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
