Thank you all for your (mostly!) reassuring replies.

This has recently been posted to a YouTube. Should I been concerned? We’ll be on her next May.

.... But you get priority and get given the next embarkation slot so never have a long wait in the embarkation hall.

That's helpful, Thanks

Not an issue.

Panic over.

Thank you

I’ve just downloaded our E-Tickets from the personaliser, and note that our arrival time at Southampton to board Azura is shown as 12:30. However, according to the itinerary also on the personaliser, the complimentary coach from Gatwick (we fly back from Barbados, so are leaving the car at the airport) to the port leaves at 12:00. And I don’t think we’ll be in Southampton within half an hour! Is this normal, or likely to cause any issue? Does the bus really leave as late as mid-day? Do I need to talk to anyone at P&O, or am I worrying unduly?

Again, another thread where the OP asks a question, gets answers, no acknowledgement

I did! Perhaps you should carefully read the thread before being quite so judgemental......

Thanks all. I obviously stay in a lower class of hotel than some of you! :)

So I know that, in a suite, you get robes. But:-

A) do you get slippers too?

B) are there facecloths? I never understand why (U.K) hotels provide hand & bath towels, but never a facecloth.

Anyway, here's Iona's 'cousin' the AIDANova floating out... of

I’ve no problem with the size of the ship - but the bow art is AWFUL!

We have used the transfer coach from Gatwick to Southampton on a TA and tickets were handed out on a first come first served basis. There can be as many as 10 coaches travelling down to the port, they fill up one at a time and depart when full.

Thanks. Any idea what time they start giving out tickets?

Travelling TA one way on Azura and flying back from Barbados.

I note that our itinerary on the personaliser has updated to show that our coach from Gatwick to Southampton at the start of our holiday in October leaves the airport at 12:00 midday. For the purposes of booking car park arrival, How accurate is this?

Our confirmation invoice describes us as being on “first coach”, presumably because we’re booked in a suite.

The only issue is if you asked for a part bottle of wine to be put aside

Part bottle of wine? What's that then? Not a concept I'm familiar with, our bottle's always empty by the end of a meal!:D
