I bet it took you longer than a day (and that's just sorting the pieces out) we have the same one and it took 2 of us over a week 🤪. How did you find the balconies?

If you put some water slides instead of sunbeds and a little Gary Barlow, a few folk on here would get their bookings in. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydee6969 Posted August 17, 2022 #337 Share Posted August 17, 2022 From Meyer Werft social media, with google translate. Float out due end of August. Time for something to turn: The propellers are now turning on our current ship rebuild, the Arvia. They were installed this week inand are now ensuring the ship can move forward. Or even backwards, like when leaving the building dock at the end of August. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you find the balconies? Yes, it took me many weeks - a wonderful way to pass the winter months when retired! You just need a dining room sized table, a partner who will let you "block" it for weeks on end, and the trick is to sort by colour first, not part (there are too many pieces for that). Still available from Wish at about £78. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just after I posted that I read on the P&O website that they will only be doing Commitment Ceremonies on Arvia (the same as Iona & Britannia). I guess that somewhat confirms she will be registered in Southampton ( at least to start with ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westerdam Posted August 23, 2022 #344 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Wasn't that supposed to have happened something like a decade ago? I recall reading somewhere some years back that there was this very proposal. However it seems to have become lost along the way. It would be nice to see all the P&O ships (Along with Cunard) registered in the UK again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see all the P&O ships (Along with Cunard) registered in the UK again. There was a change in the regulations some years ago so that people could marry in venues other than churches and Register Offices. The current suggestion has been on the table a few years but seems to have been given more emphasis recently. I'm sure P&O will be hoping the change comes sooner rather than later. It would indeed be nice to see all the ships home-registered....even if they were built overseas and are owned by an American company... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
