AIS still showing destination as Belfast. ETA 02 July 05:30. Can be easily updated of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has she not had any work done whilst parked up at Sunderland apart from a splash of paint here and there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molecrochip Posted June 28, 2021 #281 Share Posted June 28, 2021 AIS still shows Belfast. Tyne port still shows Belfast. Belfast port still expects her on their tracking data. Even Captain Marcin Banach replied to a tweet referencing a warm welcome in Belfast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any updates on St Lucia and Britannia this year, we were hoping to book our shore excursions this week. Shall we hold off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted June 28, 2021 #283 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Britannia is expected to sail as planned. I’ve heard further rumours re St Lucia but nothing anywhere near definitive. The better question is why have Aurora’s new itineraries have been delayed? Various rumours. My favourite is that P&O need their call centre staff this week to rebook those they cancelled off staycations following the government removing the 1,000 passenger maximum limit today. I should stress it’s a rumour and so far I’ve only seen an MSC notification regarding the governments change. 50% limit still remains until 19 July. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooo well that’s interesting for the folks that were booted off last week! Do you reckon they’ll replace St Lucia with Barbados every week and have the one home port using Azura’s scheduled charter flights? We don’t care where they fly us too, just as long as we join the ship on the planned day in the sunshine (hopefully! Haha) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this summer I still expect P&O to do lateral flow tests to “prove” that everyone is negative. They can then say they’ve taken reasonable precautions. I would be OK with that now I know they administer the test, me trying it was an abject failure 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our grandchildren didn't leave until 6.15, so there wasn't enough time for us to get there, she would have been gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email received, but after contacting them only grade A suites available for F&F. However, she did say to try again after the vaccine 14 day news had filtered out to guests.

molecrochip Posted July 2, 2021 #295 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Has arrived in Belfast and is docked alongside rather than in a dry dock. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted August 1, 2021 #296 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Azura will appear in Southampton for provisioning in early November and 1 December before undertaking her transatlantic voyage. The provisional plan is for her to either dry dock in between these two events or between leaving Belfast in October and arriving in Southampton. I've heard conflicting reports about whether the transatlantic cruise will be put on sale. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
