Blueroses_1910 Posted March 10, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2023 We're cruising on Arvia over the Easter holidays. I've never cruised at this time of year before - do P&O do any celebration or event to mark the occasion? An Easter egg hunt or similar? I remember cruising with one company about 20 years ago and there was a midnight chocolate buffet one night - that'd be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel57 Posted March 10, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Not sure what happens now, but a few years back on Aurora I had several cruises over Easter and I don’t recall Easter Egg hunts taking place, altho the kids clubs may do something. What I do recall is the absolutely delicious hot cross buns that had been made overnight and served at breakfast in the MDR……. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy v Posted March 10, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) We were on at Easter once and there were baskets with small eggs in all around the ship. Adult only so no hunt but I am sure there will be in kids club Edited March 10, 2023 by happy v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted March 10, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2023 There is normally an Easter church service in the theatre although Arvia being a new family ship they may not do that. We have been aboard at Easter many times and seen the kids clubs with helpers of course doing Easter Hunts, again Arvia and Iona are going to be packed with kids this Easter so they may not as think it will be too much with many kids looking.

jeanlyon Posted March 10, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Just trying to get my head around a chocolate buffet at midnight!! Nobody would be sleeping after all that caffeine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denarius Posted March 10, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Sailed over Easter on Ventura a number of years ago. Cannot recall whether there were special events for the children but I certainly remember there being a seasonal disply in the atrium. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was amazing (especially given that I can take or leave chocolate in all honesty) and clearly an opportunity for the chefs to show off their skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have a double espresso quite late evening and still sleep well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An afternoon "Chocoholics Buffet" was a staple for years on P&O. Originally held in a mdr and combined with a galley walk-through for any passengers that so wished. It was then downgraded to a themed afternoon tea in the buffet restaurant and now seems to have disappeared altogether... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueroses_1910 Posted March 12, 2023 Author #13 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Wow thanks all!! The chocolate buffet thing was definitely an excuse for the dessert chefs to showboat their amazing skills, it was fantastic. My ADHD brain isn't affected by caffeine - except sometimes it makes me sleepy(!) Well, I'll keep a look out; I probably won't bother taking eggs on board as I'm sure there'll be plenty of treats, egg-shaped or otherwise!
