Yes

I don't think that there is any advantage booking onboard. The best prices are when you pre register before the cruises go on general sale (usually in Jan & March for the following year).
-
I think the term is "People who have lower standards". Just off the allotment style dress or what's the problem I've only been wearing these jogging trousers for the past fortnight!.
-
Absolutely spot on!.
-
When the Bookings for Excursions opens there will be full description of each trip. There will be some variations but most will be a 2hr Coach Trip with possible photo stops.
-
I have seen it on P&O (even worse!).But I don't want to see it on Saga Thank You.
-
The problem with any relaxation of Dress Code is that the interpretation becomes wider & then you end up with the customers wearing jogging bottoms & Football shirts or "just in from the allotment" in MDR's as seen on other Cruise Lines. No thanks, keep the policy Saga it one of the things I like about you!.

It seems to vary by Cruise. Ours for SOD 6th August were available Mid May.

Why are people still cruising with P&O ?
FatBoy20 replied to Winifred 22's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Lead in Prices are low but then if you want good quality food you pay in the speciality venues!. Internet costs up 100% pre covid & wine up 60% & that is jut two items!. -

FatBoy20 replied to Winifred 22's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Absolutely that's why I left P&O after 20+ Cruises. The product now now supplied post Covid is no where near the standards pre Covid. Quality of food & standard of service has plummeted. -
More Cutbacks!.
-
As a point of interest WiFi price on P&O had doubled since Covid shutdown.
-
That is crystal clear but it has taken a long time to get there!.

Anybody, not just Britannia Club Members, can pre-book a Table in the MDR. It is first come first served with a max of 150 Tables available for pre-booking. That is why booking at Pre-Registration stage gives you an advantage with all the info is on the Saga Website.
-
I am unsure where you obtained the information regarding" an included trip" to Tresco Gardens on SOD in August. I am on that Cruise & their are no included excursions in this Port. The Excursion to Tresco Gardens is £49pp.
-
As far as I am aware only the Buffet is open on Embarkation Day & closes around 3.30pm so as Muster can take place.
-
If you book a fixed table upon arrival you will find a card in your Cabin with all the information on it including the table number.
-
Yes you are being unkind!. Saga do advertise this under "dining". A max of 150 Tables per Cruise are allocated.
-
When booking you can request a fixed table in the MDR subject to availability as Saga reserve a number of tables for this purpose
-
A new Cruise Terminal is due to open in Portsmouth this summer. It will do away with the "tents" currently used but you will still need a shuttle bus to the Ship.
-
No. Saga use Dover, Portsmouth & Tilbury.
-
Not a lot to moan about if the only issue is the Quality of Coffee served. I find the Living Room Coffee is perfectly OK.
-
You get a shared Car 75-300 miles. If you want a Private Car for the 75-300 Mile Band you pay for it @ £2.50 per mile.

For the last two years (for 2023 & 2024) the E-Mail Brochure for Jan-March (not Jan-April) has been issued in early January with April-Dec in early March. The phone call is in strict order of pre-registration & Saga usually appear to clear the calls in about three weeks & then on General Sale approx four weeks after the E-Mail Brochure is sent out.
