I’m not sure what you mean that specialities restaurants are closed in common with most of the P&O ships …. I have done five on Iona since January and everything has been open. A poster on annother thread, specifically regarding Iona has posted that Epicurean and Glass House are closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of uptake perhaps. My cruise next week is now half the price I paid (Grrrrr! ) and believe some good offers on September ones too. The fluid pricing is a mystery to me - never been able to work it out and doesn’t always seem to be capacity related. I would love to see any algorithm they have. I’ve just booked Aurora for December 2023 Canaries for 16 nights - select price ,standard balcony, £360pp OBC and car parking for about £1500. When I first saw the price I had to look again - I can’t remember seeing that good a deal before. With the OBC it’s the same price almost as the 7 nights to Portugal/Guernsey on Aurora I had already booked for August 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single passenger at the moment is showing from £4349 single balcony or £4126 for single occupancy. Double occupancy from £5,158 or £6,518 on select with £810 OBC! Your Aurora one is currently at around £2,200 so looks like you have a bargain all round. Edited July 28, 2022 by Megabear2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may well be now but don’t forget that Iona has so many restaurants that closing two doesn’t make any difference whereas closing two out of four on Arcadia does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise Mapper has her heading for Gourock but that's unlikely - never heard of large cruise ships using Gourock before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post will be deleted as the cheerleaders don’t like facts coming from passengers who are on the ship. but agreed COVID probably rife again like it was for her 1st return to dialing if it was any other cruise line, missed ports, closed restaurants, closed venues staff shortages bad food selections There would be some OBC and a few nibbles as sweeteners However P&O treated that first sailing back as you paid, and you get what we give you, even if it wasn’t what you paid for Happy Days. anyone on the ship confirm what the veg selection is for the duration of the cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No staff issues, food was superb and everyone enjoyed eating in the MDR for 13 nights straight with minimal food selection Still seeing if they will release the carrots so there is a second choice of veg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear P&O customer service is great 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
