kruzseeka Posted July 11, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Given the posts re Arcadia and the wait time for freedom dining, it would be interesting to hear how things are on Aurora. Although as she's only sailing with 55% passengers it maybe difficult to draw any conclusions regarding future sailings which may (almost certainly?) be carrying more. I'm mindful of the P&O statement posted on another thread about general staffing and supply problems. Seems as though Arcadia may be suffering from the former. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzseeka Posted July 12, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Anyone on board or has contact with anyone currently sailing on Aurora? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Soon to sail so very interested. How did you come by the passenger numbers, Bin man? Do you know if that is due to staffing levels or is it that they haven't sold as many cabins as they would have wanted?

kruzseeka Posted July 14, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) So now for 'operational reasons' our first stop at Stavanger has had to be cancelled on the 24th sailing. No substitute call just another 'relaxing' day at sea. The itinerary has been switched around a bit too. I think people's confidence in getting what you book is wearing a bit thin. What are the operational reasons? Something understandable/unavoidable in which case why not explain that to us - or another instance of something which is shrouded in mystery and only to their benefit? Can't even claim on missed port insurance as that has to be after setting sail. 😕 Edited July 14, 2022 by kruzseeka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionboard Posted July 14, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Plenty of relaxing days at home (or in a hotel) - on a cruise I want to visit places! These cruises are turning into seacations! Getting worried about the next one in a couple of weeks as it is very expensive and booked it because there are some ports I have not visited, which is rare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermotsgirl Posted July 14, 2022 #15 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I’m wondering what the Caribbean season will like. Last winter they managed it with Queen Victoria as a ‘support ship’. I wonder what their plans are for this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still one of two ships in the Corporation's fleet which could be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kruzseeka Posted July 14, 2022 #19 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Any ideas as to why a port has been dropped and no alternative scheduled molecrochip? It's a late change but not exactly last minute so disappointing a different port wasn't substituted. Edited July 14, 2022 by kruzseeka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
