What do you do in a whirlpool?
-
So our stop at Rhodes is cancelled, yet the ship still shows on the list of expected arrival on the Cruise ship schedule for Rhodes!
-
Yep agree. Won't be booking either for 2025 . Far too early.
-
What a pity the Fred ones are mostly from Liverpool apart from one and mega expensive!
-
Yes, we found that when booking for our single friend. Much cheaper to take single occupancy of a twin cabin.
-
I won't be doing what we used to do and book on launch. In fact, I will have another look once we are on board in October.
-
You do have to laugh. Just looked at that Arcadia cruise and Motril appears to be in West Africa on the map!!
-
Yes went to Kotor on Oriana. Lovely.
-
Thats very useful. Thanks. Having said that, I presume it's the same on Aurora?
-
thanks Dai. I was looking at a P&O bar menu, but there is no mention of bottles only 125 ml and 250 ml
-
Can you buy a bottle of wine in the bar and then take it to dinner? I can't remember.
-
Good to know about the theatre, because I was just in My PO Cruises and it said you have to book. Had a look at the sample Beach Hut menu. Won't be going there! Awful menu for me. Might try Sindhu, but is there a cover charge, because there appears to be a separate price for each dish?
-
Can you see excursions offered before you book?
jeanlyon replied to GSPG's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Just google all the ports and DIY. That's what we do. -
That;s exactly how I feel. It beggars belief, particularly on an Adult Only ship.
-
Have to agree. We don't do excursions, or specialty restaurants. We don't take a drinks package either. So they are not making much out of us. We DIY ashore, but love to have a local lunch and buy the odd thing.
-
Yes, got told I was a party pooper!! Ha ha
-
Did one river cruise a few years ago. Would not recommend it. We smelt the bilges. Dinner seemed to be at 6pm, not to our taste. We like a drink about 7 and then dinner after that. The duck who put his nose through the window was a highlight though.
-
Me too, but I have had the odd thing in the cabin before and I'm going back to 2019!! I shall go with an open mind.
-
Sorry, but I know the person. They are not prone to exagerration.
-
The person who wrote this on social media I have met on a cruise, so I think I can believe her. Also, another man on there agreed. Others had their sheets changed a\t 11pm as they had stains on them. Ho hum. I shall see what Aurora is like in October.
-
It was when they went to get into bed on the first night. There really should not be mildew on the shower head. That leads to illness. Yes agree about the carpets. I have noticed that before.
-
Just saw this picture posted on social media of a shower head on Britannia and another person said theirs was the same. Also, one person found a pair of knickers in her bed which were not hers!!

Making the best experiences from cruise buffets!!
jeanlyon replied to Interestedcruisefan's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Well, I work 4 days a week, mostly sitting. I do walk the dog on the days I'm not working. But I definitely walk more on the cruise. Don't use the lifts, walk ashore and don't eat crisps like I do at home!! I eat to live, not the other way round. Food is not the reason I cruise, some nights, I don't like anything on the menu!! -
Returning to the same ports multiple times?
jeanlyon replied to Interestedcruisefan's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Having been cruising for many years with both P&O and Fred O, up until recently the only ports missed (2 of them) were because of weather. Ajaccio and one other. Now it seems ports are changed 9 months before you sail and that is peculiar. -

Absolutely spot on. That's what we do. I don't cruise for the food. I always lose a few pounds on a cruise. rushing from here to there, walking ashore, swimming.
