Rare dctravel Posted November 24, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Wow. Interesting that Carnival Corp is requesting access for other brands. Wonder which ones? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Selbourne Posted November 24, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I do hope that this is true. We have never cruised on Adonia but did a ship tour in the last year of P&O service and thought she was a lovely ship. P&O itineraries are very repetitive as the increasingly larger ships are quite restricted as to which ports they can visit. Perhaps the return of a small ship such as Adonia will allow for some much more interesting and varied itineraries, such as those offered by Fred Olsen.

pete14 Posted November 24, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I was told onboard a couple of weeks ago that Adonia would be rejoining the fleet. This provides further evidence that it is true. Hopefully this won't provoke tiresome speculation about whether any other ship is to be sold / reallocated, especially when the new ship is launched in 2020. Maybe she will include Cuba on her future P & O itinerary. She seems to know it quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillo Posted November 24, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I hope this is true, Adonia is one of my favorite ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Puss Posted November 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted November 24, 2016 If true, this is fantastic news! Adonia is one of our favourite ships. We've travelled on her twice and she is so welcoming. All the staff loved her too. She is able to go to places the bigger ships can't. We went up the River to Seville on one trip which is fantastic. Think I shall be letting P&O know how excited we are to hear this - a little pressure doesn't hurt! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kersh Posted November 24, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) I so hope this report is correct. Bring back Adonia to P & O. I may have to cancel some of our 2018 bookings to transfer them to the Adonia. Sue Edited November 24, 2016 by kersh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monorail Orange Posted November 24, 2016 #21 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Can't say I'm surpsied at the news. I didn't think this "gap-year" type thing was going to work out, let alone on a ship like Adonia. Maybe Carnival should have chosen a more "informal" style vessel.

Scorpio41 Posted November 24, 2016 #22 Share Posted November 24, 2016 It's just flashed up on my Facebook page. Good afternoon, as the Fathom experience has been expanded across many Carnival brands sailing to the Dominican Republic and beyond, we are pleased to let you know that we have Adonia, our well loved small ship, sailing a range of discovery itineraries from June 2017. These will be on general sale from December 8, 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted November 24, 2016 #23 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Now's P&O's chance to home port a ship somewhere else in the UK, saving many of us the slog down to Southampton, or having to go on other lines. RCI are placing a Celebrity ship on Dublin next summer... it's time for another port for a P&O ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies, but I cannot agree. Southampton is P&O's home port and has been for over a 100 yrs. It would be a terrible shame if that changed, and I would say that no matter where I lived I'm afraid. Sent from my Sony Z1 Compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
