Never had a bad cruise 😂 some better than others but never a bad one!

Thanks all. We’ve booked Britannia incl. premium on flight back. Balcony on Deck 9 midships. 🥳🥳

Thanks all. Also just seen she’s in for a refit too.

Looking at a Caribbean next January. I have cruised many times with various lines including P&O. Britannia itinerary looks best but reviews of the ship are all pretty dire. Arvia itinerary ok and enjoyed our fjords cruise on her sister ship. Any thoughts please from people who have cruised the Caribbean? TIA Pat

So to finish off my short review - final day was Nassau and we had chosen Rui Palace via Resorts for a Day. Unfortunately there were 4 ships in port that day so it was very crowded. We enjoyed relaxing in the shade and the plentiful drinks but food was mediocre at best. Pools were crowded and weren’t for swimming. We went back to finish packing and get ready for our final night dinner and drinks. Getting back to the ship we realised we had left our driving licences behind the desk (they keep photo ID with them until you leave) 😱 Thank goodness I didn’t take my passport. Luckily Anne called the hotel and they have fed ex them to her! Pre dinner drinks at Vintages and dinner at 150 again, fabulous food and service. An early night. We both had late times to disembark - 9.30 but OMG it was a real sh1t show, the worst debark I’ve had that’s for sure. Despite being able to get off at both aft and forward, the queues then funnelled into one loooooooong queue and we’re kept waiting in the walkway with no aircon and a nightmare for most people but worse for those with mobility issues. Finally, overall a great cruise with amazing food in the restaurants when we finally got them booked. It was noisy, the promenade music was LOUD! 95dcb I understand. As I said earlier it’s not the ship for me but I can understand why people would love it. Pics to follow. Won’t be cruising for a while as have a trip to Spain in January, Costa Rica in March and Vegas in June, so maybe another TA at the end of next year. Happy cruising, happy Thanksgiving and Happy Christmas everyone.

Busy day! 😎 Following our Playmakers lunch and flowrider watching, it was time to relax on our balconies and maybe read or nap! Pre-dinner drinks in Vintages and dinner in Hooked. Tbh we were still so full after lunch but bravely fought on to eat oysters and lobster and salad and lobster roll. No desserts though 😂 Then onto the Ice Show which was fantastic and finishing the night (for me) with poker - which was profitable. 🥳

Playmakers for lunch! Oh so much good despite ordering a small portion of loaded Nachos to

So tonight we are at 150 again. Definitely the best food on the ship as far as I am concerned, however my first course was not great tonight - belly pork, fat not rendered enough so fatty rather than tasty, soft pork 😢 However the beef tenderloin made up for that - it was awesome. Tender and delicious. Cheese board was great too. Remembered to take some pics 😂 My

Captain Rick but not sure of his surname

It’s an Espresso Martini - delicious 😋 We had a solo meet-up at Izumi Hibachi last night. It was good fun and absolutely loads of food! For some strange reason we had it booked for lunch today too😱 we cancelled. We have an early dinner at 150 our favourite. Saw the magic show yesterday afternoon, not normally my thing but heard some good reviews. Definitely worth seeing, he’s very entertaining and clever.

Pre dinner cocktail in Boleros

As you say, we are all different! Just not for me

Always lots of posts about the quality of the food and how it has got worse but I have to say we have both enjoyed every meal we have eaten. Have now eaten lunch or dinner or both in Chops, Jamie’s, Hooked, Wonderland, 150, El Loco, Playmakers, Izumi, MDR (lunch only), and food and service has been fantastic. Wonderland was least favourite, Hooked and 150 the best but a tough call. The weather is now great, sunny and warm and smooth seas. We have had some big swells but this ship can handle those well. The major complaint from many is the noise level - especially on the Promenade. They have a band playing when things like Trivia are going on, so really tough to hear. One guy measured the level at 95 Db!🙉 The Cruise Director needs to work on that! Saw the Comedy Show, not impressed at all! A Brit and a guy from Boston. Very poor imo but lots of people liked them! 2nd formal night tonight and we are eating in the MDR liked the look of the menu. Will Iet you know how it goes! And I’ll try and remember to take pics!

Not always stupidity sometimes naivety! I don’t generally play slots and left $38 in a machine because I presumed it would go back on my card 😱 lesson learned!
