Many thanks very helpful - much appreciated.

We are looking at an aft suite on P & O Arcadia.  We have not done P & O before only Princess and Celebrity. Has anyone been in an aft suite on P & O and also experienced Princess or Celebrity aft suites to give us an opinion on the differences.  Also what suite enhancements there are with P & O - any different dining or free laundry perks?  Also can anyone  tell us if there is a difference between the sizes of the suites/balconies on the corner suites on Deck C  and D which we are interested in.  Any information on P & O that you think might be useful would be greatly appreciated.  Many thanks.

Thanks everyone great help.  Live not far from Southampton so don't need to walk around it - would rather enjoy the ship - that's why we cruise - the ship life is wonderful.

I have read that in the USA you have to leave the ship and go through security again between the back to back cruises.  Do you have to do this in Southampton or do the UK have different rules?  We hoped just to use the ship and not leave in between cruises.  We are changing cabins so obviously will not be in our cabins as we know they will need to clean etc but will find somewhere on board to hang out until our new cabin is ready.  This is our first back to back and so are not sure what really happens - any tips will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

We used the laundry service on Crown Princess on a transatlantic cruise and had no issues at all.  Sent blouses, shirts, trousers etc and were back next day all pressed and ready to go - great extra for suite passengers - make the most of it.  

Thanks for all your help. We will make sure our cruises are linked. 

Thanks. Hoped that as we were on the same ship and it was back to back we might be able to carry it over.

We are going on back to back cruises next summer on Crown Princess. We have on board spend for both cruises and wondered if anyone can tell me if our on board spend credit could be rolled over to the second cruise if we have any left.  We have more credit for the first cruise but it's only a 7 day cruise and our second cruise is longer and so it would be useful to spread the credit over to the second one.  Hope that all makes sense.  Thanks for any help.  

Yes the breakfast in Sabatini's is a wonderful way to start the day.  The free laundry service is great as it means you don't have to pack quite so much - found it an excellent service.  You will never want to go back to a normal cabin - we choose the aft suites in Crown Princess and they are so quiet and we love watching the wake. Enjoy.  

Thanks everyone - all very helpful.

We are doing our first back to back cruises on Crown Princess next year and wondered if anyone could tell us how this works.  We are going out of Southampton and back in a week and then going out again for ten days.  We have to change cabins as we could not book the same one for both.  We are moving from suite C749 to C750 and wondered how we move our things or if our steward would help us.  Can we stay on board and use the ship as normal - breakfast in Sabatinis etc.  Any information would be helpful thanks.  

Thank you everyone you have been a great help.

That's very helpful thanks

Thanks

We are booked next year doing back to back cruises and booked into cabin C750 for one cruise but could not get this for the second one and so have C749.  Does anyone know what the differences are between these suites.  Are the balconies the same?  On the deck plan it looks about the same but can't find out anything about any differences between the suites.  Has anyone stayed in either of these?  We stayed in D736 before which is a corner aft suite and loved it - is this similar?  Thanks
