madster66 Posted August 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hi All I am taking my mum (82) to Guernsey on a mini break on Arcadia for her birthday in May 2019 and I was hoping for some suggestions of what we could do to make the day extra special for her.. I am thinking we may not get off in Guernsey as I will be worried about getting mum on and off the tender.. All ideas would be much appreciated as I would love my mum to have the best day ever ...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the english lady Posted August 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Arcadia is a lovely ship,our favourite..so that is a good start. Would you mum be able to cope with a tea and the evening meal. I know as one gets older food is not always at the top of the list...Id say go for one of the speciality places on board .. https://ask.pocruises.com/help/PO/life-on-board/example_menu?_ga=2.113792001.745473255.1533184312-1053098145.1481372018&_gac=1.79227494.1530860078.CjwKCAjwg_fZBRAoEiwAppvp-fJsxUB5Nml0vEtTHVplqM4qoR5fgVyI04MsrWrBCHPuFQXwSJpmlBoC6UMQAvD_BwE hopefully the link works.if it doesn't go on the faq section on their web page and put in sample menues. See if there is anything there she would like. As one is not always able to tender ashore in Guernsey full stop, staying onboard is no problem https://www.pocruises.com/gifts-and-luxuries/ have a look at this and see if anything is suitable. have a lovely cruise. how wonderful to do this for your mum.

jeanlyon Posted August 2, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Please be aware that quite often the ships can't tender in Guernsey if there is swell. Not trying to put a damper on but I have heard it quite often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiB Posted August 2, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2018 If you are staying on the ship what about a spa pampering session.during the day? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought Pauline's mam on Ventura for her 90th birthday 6 years ago. You could check to see if one of the speciality restaurants does an afternoon tea.
