Yes it is in the cabin. On Iona we also had Sport24 extra, or something like that, but there was rarely anything on it except over the weekends.

Not really, or at least no moreso than most other cruise lines during the current cost of living crisis.

Iona has the quays and maybe the Olive Grove which are included in the price, as well as the buffet.

Not on P&O, only the buffet are sometimes the glass house.

It has usually been in the deck 5 midships restaurant when we have been on Ventura.

You can check if this will be available on the Sport24 website, under cruising.

The 1890s!!!!

Operational reasons?

Quite possibly.😇

We booked our Canadian relatives on Ventura as well as on RCIs Navigator OTS, both Southampton sailings. We did not make a secret of their citizenship and of course their passports clearly showed it, and neither cruise line made any comment about them not being correctly legally covered.

Our current microwave was bought in 1981, its massive but has performed perfectly its entire life. No idea where we bought it though, probably comet or maybe Currys.

As an addendum to this I think I heard Capt Dunlop on his muster announcement, on our recent Iona cruise, state that passengers needing help to board lifeboats in an emergency would be boarded last. I may have misheard the announcement, but if correct this does not fill me with confidence.

I suspect, although I have no facts at all, that cruise lines limit the number of passengers that would require significant assistance to board a lifeboat in an emergency, by fitting the bare minimum number of accessible cabins.

Initially many FCCs would have been for fully paid cruises, but now I guess the majority are deposit only, so not such a hit to cash flow.

You don't necessarily have to update the app, it does buzz you when your table is ready. But sometimes queues move faster than others, which leads passengers to think it has failed. Of course the delay could be when a large number of passengers who have not used the app to join a virtual queue suddenly turn up and are seated at tables that would have been available for passengers that did use the app. I assume P&O want the app to succeed, so at some point table hosts will need to tighten up their procedures and perhaps give pagers to all passengers who have not used the app to try and encourage them to conform, or find they are left with a long wait.

Indeed it will, as well as summer roundtrip Med cruises from Southampton.

We are not allowed to name it, but it's probably the most well known one, but not Musks. As for 4 berth cabins, it really does not matter since most extra berths will either be Pullman bunks concealed in the roof, or sofa beds, neither of which should affect your use of the cabin as a couple.

It also says that e-mail is an inherently insecure method of communication, although P&O use it for all their communications with passengers. I wonder if Paul Ludlow has read the Carnival Shareholder information?

I suppose I am saying that if you dont you might feel a little left out.

I don't do fly cruises either, so taking a DJ ior suit s no real problem; and we did on on our Iona cruise earlier this month, as did everyone else who used the MDRs.

Picky will cost you.

Iona does not do fly cruises.

However if the staff manning the door of the theatre don't show flexibility there are likely to be passengers turned away, if you haven't cancelled your reservation. Even worse, if you don't cancel your dining reservation in good time, then your table will be left empty far longer than necessary, increasing waiting times for everyone else.

Formal night dress code on Iona is still well observed, even though there is only one per week, so passengers do seem to think it is worthwhile.

Overall there are less on average now, and the average will be even lower once Arvia is cruising. I imagine any new ships will also only have 1 formal night per week, so formal nights will be halved once Azura leaves the fleet.
