As ex aircrew of 16 years, once you have weather related problems, or an aircraft goes tech, you have crew going out of hours and have to go to the on-call staff who are normally at home, so takes them a while to get to the airport. Happy days!

I haven't eaten at 6 since I was 6! Much prefer the later one. If dinner is at 6.15, you would have to have your pre-dinner drink at 5. I'm only just back from the deck and pool by then!
-
I just fold mine the way they say and put through suitcase handle and staple. Simples.
-
Have to say, I don't wear a dressing gown at home, so wouldn't need one on board. Once I'm up, I get dressed!

Report on Aurora Northern lights cruise Nov 2023
jeanlyon replied to pete14's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
You had a Christmas meal with crackers in your Christmas jumpers in November? Give me a break. -
Same here, cruising for 15 years, never caught it and I wouldn't say ultra hygienists!!

Keeping in touch with freinds on board without wifi package
jeanlyon replied to Cash123's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
You could just arrange to meet at a certain time!!! -
Yes, just realized I've got £520 OBC on my 16 night cruise, so if I want wifi for one day I can do that. Can't justify £135 for wifi. I can just use my phone ashore.
-
So I've just logged in to my 16 night cruise for October 2024. I can get the basic wifi package for £9.40 a day, down from £11.75. Are you saying that I would get 10% loyalty discount off as well? Oops, yes you are, because I just clicked on to the next page.

CEO should be forced to ring the P&O number

Don;t agree. Some of the online TAs are absolutely brilliant. I wouldn't use a high street Ta. -

I use an online TA and leave the problem with them. They always fix it. -

Do you still have an evening meal after that lot?!! -
Arcadia. Peninsular welcome aboard lunch

The food served at the Peninsular lunch buffet was better than any other meal I had in the MDR!! -
Arvia LGW to Barbados Saturday, 18 November - charter flight
jeanlyon replied to English Tim's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Well if my experience of being a Flight attendant is anything to go by. Drinks round first, followed by lunch and I would guess afternoon tea into Barbados. -

It's a buffet, but you sit at tables and are served with wine. -
Yes you hand over your card, nothing to sign. We could see each days spend on the My Holiday app including the venue. Just to add that sometimes it didn't appear until late or the following day. I guess when they upload it from their tablets.
-
Yes, my guess is you have worked it out. On our 19 night recent cruise on Aurora, our bill was £460. We don't do ship excursions and I think I had one coffee. The package would have cost double or more. The nice thing on Aurora is that in the MDR they will hold your wine until the next night if you have any left over. Not on Freedom though.
-
I think that's why the package doesn't work for us. We don't do soft drinks or coffees. Just drinks in the bar and bottle of wine with dinner. Package would be double or even more. Having seen the price of soft drinks, I can see why it would work for some.
-
Yes, so actually, with my agent, the discount is almost the same as the BLC
-
I am going to get 5% discount on my next cruise with Fred with the Blue Light Card and that's after the 5% I get for being an Oceans member.
-
Interesting to hear about the TVs. We thought it was our eyes on Aurora!!! We also preferred no evening turndown. Much better. Strange about the aircon, most people complain it's too cold.
-
Hmm, doesn't sound good.
-
I was very surprised by the £520 OBC plus parking for the inside cabin we booked on board Aurora and 10% deposit.
-
Interesting what you say about Ventura and Azura. Only sailed once on Azura and we had a Force 9 in the Med and it was just awful. I would rather be on Aurora any day and even she didn't take kindly to Force 10 and high seas!
-
I agree too. People are over the top about germs. In this case, as you say, hardly likely to pass on any infection and not a cough or cold, more likely noro.
