Has anyone done the North West route (Burtonwood) with the new and later pick-up time, we are a 10am pick-up from Burtonwood which seems very late to me?

Hi, we are from Burtonwood next week for Iona but with a 10am pick-up which seems very late to me, actually says final boarding is 4.30pm so not much margin for delays. I know P&O monitor the coaches but don't understand why so late, even means we are rushing to get unpacked, showered and ready for dinner

We are on G409 Iona next week and have a 10am pick-up at Burtonwood (North West route), previously we were an 8am pick-up, with final boarding stated as 4.30pm this seems very tight and my other issue is doesn't give much time to get checked-in, unpack and get ready for dinner. Has anyone done this trip recently and can advise what time they arrived and embarked?

Agree, will either be train or National Express day before and night in Southampton

Thanks, seen this yes but the way trains are at the moment and possible bad weather just worried, any delay and we'd miss the departure.

We have just booked J318 (5 Day Amsterdam), went to book a coach from the North West and it appears both Eavesway and Intercruises have stopped coach options for anything less than 7 days? Disappointing that can't book with either, off to check trains times and prices now 😏 Don't think i'm wrong but if anyone finds anything different let me know.

Just booking Iona for next April from Southampton, never done a Fjords cruise before, is there any preference on which side the cabin is on, guessing not but thought would ask? We are looking at 14212 or 14206 Thanks

we used Eavesway last year from Burtonwood (Warrington) and was advised to use them rather than the "free" service offered by P&O, better coaches apparently and the coach we were on was superb, very impressed. We are just in the process of booking Ioana from Southampton next April and will book Eavesway again.

Now that she is in the med and starting her 7 day round trip itinerary, would anyone be able to supply details of the planned themed/gala nights, presume these will remain the same throughout the summer and also guessing one will be the Wednesday night with a day at sea on Thursday. Thought it be would useful for anyone on the itinerary over the coming months, we board in Genoa on Sunday 23rd April so will update with details if none supplied before we board. Would also be interested to know what the early and late dinings times are in the MDR, again we can advise from next week.

Thanks for the update, any reason why they were cancelled

which were cancelled please, we are on this itinerary and have booked Pompei on 24th April, it hasn't been cancelled yet in my app?

Thinking of bidding on a Aurea Balcony upgrade from our present Fantastica Balcony, mainly to benefit from Anytime Dining and the Spa Experience. If we are successfull do we get any option on cabin or is it allocated automatically? Very happy with our cabin at the moment, which we chose ourself, would i be correct to resume all Aurea cabins are in what are considered to be the best locations. Thanks

We are embarking in Genoa on 23rd April and realise she has not yet started her European itinerary, but can anyway confirm the dining arragements please? We have requested late dining but not sure what time this is and also is there any flexibility if we wanted to change on a particilar day but still dine MDR Interent 2 Devices - guessing same as other MSC in that once 2 devices are connected there is no scope to disconnect one and use another (eg wifes phone) Thanks in advance
