Yes I read the document, but just saying that Aviva doesn't cover over 85s if you do a quote with them for either travel insurance or car insurance. Will renew on 19th April and see if we can stay with the company who covers them now.
-
That's OK, how would you know. My insurance is changing company after I renew late April and I happen to know the new company won't cover over 85s.

Cruise starts 25th March 2025 and this is what it says for Alta 30 Mar 2025 - 1 Apr 2025 Arrives in Early Afternoon Overnight
-
So when it says for Tromso Arrive Afternoon, and overnight - I presume that means you leave at silly o'clock in the morning. It's not a real overnight stay?
-
I am thinking of fitting it in to March/April as that's when our cruise insurance would cover us. After that, might need to think again about cruising. It's becoming mega expensive. Thanks everyone for your comments. Sounds very positive.
-
They would have to change the name of OBC (on board credit = on board ) If you could use it before you were on board
-
It would be March/April, so I'm guessing very cold. Hmmm.
-
Thanks for that. It just seems a bit samey to me, all the same country and just cold, but it's time we did something different.

Vaguely lookiing at doing a Norway cruise. Not done one before as we usually like warm climes. One of the places listed is Romsdalsfjord, but it looks like you just cruise down the fjord and don't stop Also, can you DIY in these ports, Tromso, Andalsnes, Stavanger. We don't like ship excursions.

I thought you could always use a credit card?

I sailed on Azura 2 months after she launched and toilets had problems then. Wet floors, etc.
-
There is another thread about this.
-
That's interesting, as Aviva is our motor insurance provider and will not now cover my husband who 8is 85. I wonder what they will do about us when we come to renew our Nationwide Travel insurance.
-
they look smart.
-
and if the airline they choose goes bust as has happened before, they will then have to look around for whoever has capacity.
-
Happy Days, remind me of my flying career. Constantly going out of hours because of delays etc. I once did 21 hours with the other girls, because they only sent the Flight Deck, an engineer and a spare part!
-
Well said. All absolutely correct. People want compensation for everything these days.
-
My husband is 85 and I am 77, we are covered by Nationwide Flex plus.
-
Absolutely right. So you are booked on the Dreamliner with eg 24 seats in premium economy and they change the aircraft to an Airbus with 16 seats in premium economy. 8 passengers will have to travel in ordinary seats, so they get their PE money back, but still go on holiday.
-
Not naive, but circumstances can change of course.
-
We booked on board and had a reduced deposit and lots more OBC. If you have booked the current cruise through a TA they will ask you if you want it sent through to the TA, in which case, you can get even more discount.
-
Have to say it serves them right. Any aircraft can be hit by violent turbulence. It happened on one of our aircraft. One of the stewardesses hit the ceiling and was injured. If you take to social media like he did, you deserve all you get.

Selbourne ‘Live’ from Aurora’s 2024 Grand Tour
jeanlyon replied to Selbourne's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
You got it right there! We were once coming back from Costa Rica and had to go into Miami to change flights. The customs person didn't like the look of my Roses Lime Juice and forced me to drink some of it even though I told her it's supposed to be mixed with water! -
Bid to Upgrade - To include TA bookings?
jeanlyon replied to Selbourne's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Problem with upgrades is that what P&O thinks is an upgrade often isn't! We had chosen our mid-forward inside cabin on D Dek and were upgraded to a cabin on A deck. That is the last place I want to be, especially in a rough sea. They moved us back.
