free from work Posted October 13, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Hi. We have just booked our first P&o cruise 23/11/2, 12 night Southampton /Canaries RT on Ventura. Do P&o just do Gala/Formal nights on seadays or will they squeeze one in on a port day? We have sea days 1-4, 9 & 11 which would be great for 3 formal nights which we think would be best or could they add 1 on a port day to make it up to 4? Following today's outage on the NHS app for vaccine status has anyone boarded recently using a printout of the QR code? We were intending to just use the app but don't want to be left in Southampton if there is another problem during embarkation. TIA Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecttr Posted October 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Gala /formal nights are usually on sea days and yes, I have used the print out of the QR code. My 2 vaccinations had separate pages . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm142 Posted October 13, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Print off the page from the NHS app and take it with you. I have read that testing/checkin do not use the 2D QR code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free from work Posted October 13, 2021 Author #4 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Thank you for the prompt replies. They will certainly help keep stress levels down during preparation for boarding. I will also be able to book specialist dining with confidence for DW's birthday which is on a port day without worrying about clashing with the formal nights. Hopefully it will open up before sailing as per the recent video by Ollie Smith. Jim Edited October 13, 2021 by free from work Correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Jim Never rely on your phone for important documentation, always print it out to take with you. I am on the same itinerary on Ventura, but 3 weeks earlier, and we have one celebration and two formal nights all on sea days. Les. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were only expecting 1 Celebration and 1 formal evening. DW is back to the drawing board for outfits! Not too much of an issue for me. Have a great holiday.
