The Southampton Harbour Hotel & Spa in Ocean Village is lovely - it’s close enough to walk into the centre of Southampton but just a little bit away from all the traffic of a city centre. There are some lovely places to eat in Ocean Village too.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes I stayed at the Harbour Hotel in January before my last cruise - it is absolutely gorgeous and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We didn’t eat or drink there so I can’t comment on the food or drink but the rooms are lovely and the whole area it is situated in is really nice.

I don't go in the Hot Tub unless it has just opened at 7.30 am .. far too many kids kicking and learning to swim ...as for babies in nappies !!!

🤢🤢🤢

Your cat is absolutely gorgeous 🐈😍😍 loving your review - you have a brilliant writing style! I wish I could write like you! 🌞🌞🌞

Hi,

I used Triangle parking in August last year and January this year booked through Holiday Extras - just checked and it seems to be available on there.

Good luck! 🌝

What an absolutely LOVELY husband you are - I hope you all have an amazing time on Anthem xx 😀😀

This is so exciting! Even I can’t wait until Sunday now! 🌝🌝

Why would you be ‘ashamed’?? Surely the only reason you would be is if you actually ran the company yourself?? 🤔🤔🤔

Also booked on this cruise. Very disappointed with the swap of Le Havre from Hamburg. Not a Christmas market place and somewhere we stopped bothering getting off. May try Honfleur. Disappointed in no sea day the day after boarding now as well as we like a day to get our bearings but personal preference! 

 

Absolutely can’t see the ship stopping at Netherlands as they’re in a lockdown as well. Belgium & France questionable due to restrictions and can P&O consider this an Xmas markets cruise after losing so many and replacing with inferior stops or no Xmas markets at all? 
 

Looking forward to the ship a lot, but wondering if it’s possible for P&O to scrap all the stops and just do more local? Is this possible?

You should definitely try Honfleur - it’s beautiful ❤️

Hi

 

Looking at booking a seaview cabin on Iona which I can see are on Decks 4 & 5. Anyone got any opinion of these and whether deck 4 or 5 is better? On outside photos it looks like the windows on 5 are larger - is this the case? My only concern with deck 5 is with any noise from above - has anyone experienced this or are they quiet?

 

Thanks 🙂

I have to agree with Lisashusband - we stayed in a sea view cabin on deck 4 and were more than happy with it. The cabin was super spacious and there was no noise whatsoever 😊

I get "bad request" so I'm guessing the brochure isn't available.

Yes I think that’s true - it’s me being impatient I think 😂😂

I have same problem.  I emailed RC about it a month ago and no reply so I went onto their instant chat service.  The guy said 'It's changing so often they can't keep it up to date which is odd as the cruise planner app works OK (so if you are booked try the app, works for my 2022 cruise).  In my case I explained that I'm not booking an Oct 21 UK cruise unless I can see the excursions 1st as they currently won't allow kids off in port if not on an excursion.

 

They suggested I try this email address:

shorex@rccl.com

 

But no reply from them yet either over a week!

Still you could give it a try?

Thanks for your reply - yes they sent me that email address too so I asked them and I was told the brochure isn’t ready yet and to keep trying! I think I’m just too eager! 😎😎

Yes I bought mine through the My Holiday app once on board - I think there were three separate options depending on what you want to use it for 😎

When I booked the entertainment for the Iona maiden it didn’t actually became available to book until just before midnight on the day it was supposed to be available! So you might want to check later on 😎

I have been getting that message to when I try to access the brochure for my Vision of the Seas sailing in August 2022. 

 

Just tried to go on to the Royal Caribbean main site and got the "Access Denied" message so I would say chalk it up to the funky IT that seems to plague Royal.

Ah I see - thank you for letting me know! They’re not going to sell many excursions that way! 🤦🏼‍♀️

When I try and search I get one of these screens!! 😫😫

Hi again,

I’m still struggling to view any shore excursion brochures despite having tried on multiple devices! Is anyone able to post a link to the excursion brochure for Anthem of the Seas, 15th May 2022, Norwegian Fjords from Southampton?

Thanks in advance! 😎😎

I assume you have checked in your Spam folder?

Yes I have checked there thanks 😀 lots of emails about my inheritance from my Nigerian Prince but no confirmation unfortunately 🤣🤣

Just out of interest you have your booking confirmation but you require an invoice, just trying to figure out why you would need one.

No I don’t have booking confirmation - I never got anything sent when I booked it and I wanted to confirm my OBC was correct. I managed to ring up yesterday and request it sent again but never got that either 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ they definitely have the right email address as they confirmed it over the phone 😫

I've never had an invoice?  An invoice is a request for payment.  I've only had a booking confirmation sent to me by my TA

Yes - a confirmation invoice.  That's what my TA called it last time I booked anyway ("Included in your booklet is a copy of your cruise operator's own confirmation invoice ...").

If you have already requested your invoice by E-mail and tried phoning  and failed

then I would fire off another E-mail to peoplesupport@carnivalukgroup.com    

as a complaint that you have still not received your confirmation . They may take pity 

on you and  give P&O a wake up call for you . As far as I'm aware looking through my 

paperwork the confirmation invoice is the only paperwork that shows the OBC.

Good luck and hope this works for you .  

 

Thank you so much - I’ll drop an email to that address ☺️☺️

Does anyone know of a way I can request an invoice for a future cruise without having to actually speak to someone at P&O as I gather that is near impossible at the minute? Maybe an automated service or something? I never got a confirmation email and want to check my OBC is correct?

Many thanks 😀
