It would be a World Cruise segment wouldn't it? So Arcadia, I believe, for the next two years - I think Australia would fall end of January/early Feb?

Almost the same topic ...... has the Captains speech/free drink party returned or is it still a voucher for a glass of fizz? Also, is there a peninsular club drinks evening?

Oh dear I hope you're feeling better soon

Hopefully we will 🙂

Thanks for that Joysey, I thought it was probably too good to be true - just can't understand why it says Primo/small hot chocolate - unless Primo means small at Costa does it?

That's worrying majortom as we've both just got over it! Hope you are not feeling too poorly with it.

Morning everyone, Can anyone who has cruised with P&O recently tell me if staff are still having to wear masks? No reason I need to know other than it popped into my head 🙂 Also, when looking at the drinks package options (not that I would ever buy the ultimate one) the soft drinks package says Primo/small hot chocolate whereas the other two say Primo costa coffees - does that mean the soft drinks package includes Costa coffee? Looks a good option to me if it does. Thanks

There is a little duty free shop before you embark but as happy v says it isn't very good. I think we got fairly cheap vodka to take onboard but mixers weren't cheap.

There are some excellent prices on the 2024 world cruise - has anyone booked?

I wonder why Arcadia does the world cruise? I wish it was Aurora too.

I won't be around tomorrow so please wish Pauline a very happy birthday from me!

Thanks everyone

I think my relatives on board already hold a record for days at sea - they were on Arcadia when Covid hit and I think they had 29(?) sea days in a row!!

Does anyone know why Ventura is missing Bermuda today and heading straight for Freeport on the 14th? I think this will mean they have had 11 sea days 😲

My neighbours dog used to go behind the TV to look for the ball when snooker was on!

Thank you, I'm going to have to try it now!

That sounds nice - never had a savoury one - is it simple to make? We had a quick lunch yesterday that I saw on Instagram, it was diced crumpets in a dish, cover with baked beans, chopped bacon and sprinkled with cheese then baked till hot - it was surprisingly yummy! Bit like a pasta bake.

Only my 4th cruise on my favourite ship but total nights on her so far is 175 😊

Breakfast muffins?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that, only know about A198

Oh and another quick point, there are some window cabins that go ‘widthways’ at the back - certainly there are on deck 11 - these can be noisy with people moving tables and chairs and you also need to keep your curtains closed.

A298, the door from the corridor is between the bed and the bathroom - so bed on left bathroom on right - past the bathroom is the alcove with the sofa. The head of the bed is on the corridor wall with wardrobes/dressing table at the foot of the bed. We’ve had drinks in there for 8 people and it was fine. Hope that’s helpful and not making it more complicated!

In A298 it’s a more ‘square’ cabin, so the bedroom is like a normal Aurora inside cabin but the sofa is in an alcove. Hope that makes sense, I can picture it in my mind but it’s difficult to explain.

We've never had a problem with noise. We worried when we first had A298 about passing traffic to the outside decks but it's always been quiet for us! It's also very handy for the lift/stairs to the MDR.

How did you know? I only told galeforce9 😲 hahahaha
