My pet hate too, find it very intrusive especially in pool areas where people are in swimwear. Also get really annoyed by people who take ages getting into the perfect pose, don’t they ever get sick of looking at themselves. Getting more like my mother every day 🤣

On our upcoming Arcadia 16 night cruise we have 3 formal nights 🤔🤪

Thanks for all your replies, we have booked with parking4cruises.

Good morning, just a quick question. Do CPS open parking places up again for paying customers if not all complimentary spaces are taken. Booked on Arcadia for Iceland in June and the difference between select and saver was £1200. We chose saver as we have obstructed sea view which are all on the same deck. Looked at parking for cruises but some reviews were worrying. Thank you

Was that for 2 nights Zap? Iona last month was £20. each before discount although I think different “turns” have different prices. Epicurean was £24. each before discount. I don’t get their pricing either 🤪

Personal opinion only, disembarked Iona on 30th March our 4th time on her and it wasn’t the best. Would rather have paddled a canoe up the canal 😮🤣

Four night cruise to Rotterdam on Aurora 28th March- 1st April

Great review and pictures Sue, thank you so much for sharing. Aurura is the ship we haven’t been on yet (plus Arvia but we don’t fancy that one) so it’s good to get honest reviews before we try x -
I am a meat eater but agree about the lack of choice. At home I make veggie curry using onion, peppers, courgette, cauli, spinach and chickpeas. In the Keel and Cow I ordered the vegan vegetable kofta balti pan which was basically peas and carrots in sauce and the kofta were balls of mashed potato with again peas and carrots. It wasn’t worth the £6.50 charge and was very disappointed at the lack of variety of ingredients in the dish.

Booked Caribbean for 2026 for our 40th anniversary, booked early as we wanted an aft balcony. Looking back this is £1400 more than we paid in 2020 (cancelled due to covid) For us we’re happy with what we have booked, we can spend romantic evenings on the balcony watching the wake and getting covered in soot 😊

Selbourne ‘Live’ from Aurora’s 2024 Grand Tour
Dobbers replied to Selbourne's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Thanks again for a great blog, hope your journey back isn’t too rocky. -
We’re on this one too (getting giddy) I don’t know how many child places are on the ship but just tried doing a dummy booking and not many cabins left for families with children. We don’t really use the pools or hot tubs so the children being in them doesn’t bother us. We do like to see them dressed up on “posh” nights, they’re delightful and put a lot of the adults to shame. Like the original poster our kids are grown up and we have no grand kids. I think sometimes we just forget what it’s like being around young uns

There is a bus at the port which takes you into Chania, last time we were there it cost a couple of euro. Nice place with shops and horse shoe bay. Souda has to be one of the worst places to stop at, often wondered if they pay the ships.

Fond memories of Tortola, sat outside Pussers with a painkiller or two not realising how strong they were 🥳 Our second visit hubby made me go to the botanical gardens instead (he doesn’t like rum) Shame you’re tendering, there must be another ship in. -

Not very appealing, but the honey and ginger sponge sounds comforting. For me I would probably be craving home made egg and chips by now 🤣 -
It seems P&O are a bit cheeky 🤔 our upcoming cruise in March has been reduced in price but the extra for select has doubled so it’s still the same just looks better 🤣 We booked this in late December and had to pay full but the price is still the same despite P&O’s tweaks.

Live from 35 nights on Ventura, what have I done?
Dobbers replied to mrsgoggins's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Thank you for your blog mrsgoggins, really enjoyed reading it. Can’t believe it’s gone so fast 😮😊 -
thankfully no 🤣

We got a certificate for crossing the Arctic Circle last year on Arcadia 😀

Beautiful country and people, one of my favourite places. Take layers and waterproof jacket and footwear. Even though you don’t like ship excursions, from Andalsnes the Troll Wall and Trollstigen are breathtaking (not for nervous travellers)
