Watched her leave but the only life rafts I can see missing are the canister type on the starboard stern and the damaged large lifeboat still onboard covered in a green tarpaulin

The large lifeboat is still on the ship

Looking at the damage and how far the lifeboat which was damaged is a fair distance apart maybe she was lucky in that respect there wasn't more damaged sustained . The damage has gone rusty very quickly in the salt air will need lots of paint once straightened out .What a job to sort out

Live on ytube solent ships top brass arrived to assess the damage

You should be able to book 21 days before departure on your personal account via cruise personaliser if they are allowing booking in advance on the ship Anybody can do this if available to book

Club dinning you request 6.30 or 8.30 table for 2 are available on your booking request but in our experience you have to have booked on cruise release to hope you guarantee table for 2 .As far as I am aware cannot choo and change once booked club dinning .If you request freedom you can get a table for 2 if you eat before 6pm ish.Think the app or pager would have to be used after 6pm If the ship was in port longer guess you could use the buffet for one night or book a specialality dinning venue but wouldn't be able to use freedom dinning .If your allocated club dinning wasn't to your satisfaction you could see the restaurant manager on embarkation day to see if freedom was available Hope this helps

Well obc sorted .I don't think p and o dept for assigning share obc benifit really know what they are doing .After 4 emails took a week to assign to booking .some might say that's not bad but after contacting my TA she contacted p and o an they said I should apply via email with proof of holding last 3 months .In my case they are with euinti electronic didn't have any recent contract proof .Then today this was assigned without any proof so do they know what to do, when they tell TA one thing and do the opposite. No wonder phone lines always engaged .Sep cruise was added In 36 hrs again without me sending uptodate ownership

Due to a company event they have closed early today so no chance to speak to anybody .Good job it's not urgent

Anybody not had a reply Usually very quick but now sent 3 emails no reply as yet Will check with TA should I have no reply this week .Last month was returned next day so don't know if there us a problem

Not sure if Iona does that option before you go.Arvia my have been the trial for that option think some people had reported that the mdr was available to book before you go as you say .Will wait and see many thanks

We are on Iona 3rd year running . 1st year just booked at the mdr desk 6pm whole cruise 14 nights and turned up at the theatre. 2nd year used the app and booked mdr 6pm all the 14 nights and the theatre. So this year can you book 14 nights 6pm table for 2 mdr and the theatre just the same ? We are the table for 2 6pm type who will never look to go anywhere else mdr just suits us .

They should leave it blank so you have to put your uptodate passport number then if it was wrong it would be the customers fault

Did you get any extra obc for doing that onboard

I think this has been reported before .After finally booking a cruise Once again checked passport details and for the fifth time since we changed our passports the p and o site has transfered old passport no which had expired 5 years ago onto the cruise details. Is this very clever on p and o site to make you check or a very poor IT system

Thankyou for that if we book I will keep fingers crossed 50 -50 chance not the end of the world I guess but will take note for future ref

Hi smokey01 thankyou cabin no iona 10616 to 10630 that's 8 cabins mid aft

Think this has been asked before would like to pick cabin aft or mid aft deck 10 with settee next to balcony on iona or arvia does anybody have any numbers also picky would like even no portside takes some working as we know one cabin

Don't they use the seating at all for passensaygers? Surely they open checkin say 12.00 those people if they wish can enter and wait till they are called then the next checkin enter on a hourly basis before checkin time to allow flow or is that to hard to do .We are lucky and have early checkin

I agree whole heartedly with you on that .Would rather have the cruise reduced a bit further .Its hard to spend if you don't drink like us or go on any excursions .We had £810 last year bought a new phone £300 at the time was cheaper onboard and bought xmas presents with the rest pandora etc but still ended up with a bit to spend on the chocolates overpriced as you say.

Have you checked today's latest offers

Now we have the next promotion live today £600 obc for balcony on Iona cruise but the select price has increased about the same amount with same cabins available. So the offer is about the same .Notice if you decided to take the saver option you cannot get your car booked with cps only taking select booking .So still thinking will it change anymore ? Last year we booked this similar offer and was reduced again after booking can't win really just have to grin and bear it .

Thats what I did as well as others on this particular question. It was there IT systems that threw up this offer that nobody could book as the true offer was only £240 in my case and not the £600 that was showing because of the IT system being wrong and taking 3 to 4 days to get it corrected. Its strange as this cruise same date last year on same ship was £660 obc so I thought history was repeating itself not so lucky this time .

Then obviously they have increased the capacity which is good will report how many available on cruise day at 10 am not that affects me only having a small hybrid

Well last year we always stop at Watford gap and if I remember correctly there were 6 and all taken up by cars will see if they have increased the capacity later on this year
