Bin man

Yes I wish, but maybe it was the way I was brought up to keep things tidy ,maybe that's how I ended up being a binman!

Yes but when you see trays left most of the day looks so untidy especially when food hasn't been consumed .Would rather do my bit and keep the ship tidy as the staff have enough to do as it is .Every little helps

If we have nipped to the buffet and used a tray to take back to cabin afternoon tea I would always return said tray to waiters at the service stations with a polite thankyou.I would never leave in the corridor for someone to trip over .

We always go for C deck for the larger balcony sit in shade possible over B deck which are smaller balconys not been in a D deck so can't compare cabin size and balcony

Thankyou Amelia had a look and it looks like its 2 weeks before we go so will have another look then

As we only want to book the mdr for the whole cruise at 6pm we booked at the restaurant desk and actually did not use the app to book last year on iona .But the question is can you book mdr on Iona before you go as commented by smokey01

Hi smokey 01 could you tell me how you were able to book the mdr prior to going .I have checked in on line iona but not seen anywhere you can do this any clues would be helpfull

I thought the same only first name needed as per booking and first name on passport .What I found was when it brought up passport number for some reason defaulted to one that expired 4 years ago although correct one entered on my details and used three times since new one was issued

We have baltic tier and appropriate early boarding 12 pm

When we have cruised the mdr waiters that serve your food asked if you want a drink with your meal .Has that stopped now ?

Noticed Britannia tracking looked odd today .Made a very sharp 90 deg turn .Dont know if it was to kill a bit of time or something else

I just switch it of and put in the safe dare not switch it on tiĺ I get home .Me being a skinflint £20 will last me 2 years if I'm carefull

You made me think as I always used kroozcam was the P and O site showing them .Just checked and they don't show .I think they can't be bothered anymore another cut back to save money

I bought a 100 shares 15 years ago and have the old style paper version from equinti .Ever since all I have done is emailed twice every year asking for obc to be given for my cruises .This went pear shape this year on first email when they asked for proof I emailed back and said this was the first time in 20 cruises I had to do this they apologised as it was someone new and added my obc to my cruise. I think now a days these shares are electronic and are handled slightly different to the old paper shares

Will we ever see the return of the fleets web cams or is that a thing of the past or maybe just operational problems!

Thanks for that Megabear2 I now understand .At least I got £25 off after ringing them to see if there were any chance of a discount .

I guess it depends how you booked cabins and who is in them and what was the offers . Think you need to contact p and o or your travel agent

Just renewed my yearly holiday insurance with Avanti they use great lakes as underwriter .I had to declare ulcerated colitis this year to be covered and payed £250 .I quoted aviva for £200 but they wouldn't cover colitis and they use the same underwriter seems strange when it's the same underwriter anybody had this before

Surely by booking a cruise that's help enough.If p and o give me £810 obc I wouldn't spend it on any alcohol only dumped down the loo .

The cruise operator's revenue in the third quarter ended Aug. 31 rose to $4.31 billion from $546 million a year earlier, but missed analysts' average estimate of $4.90 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. Net loss, however, narrowed to $770 million, or 65 cents per share, from $2.84 billion, or $2.50 per share, a year earlier.

603.20-135.60 (-18.35%) guess things aren't good on half year results

Thankyou for letting us know Arvia can now be tracked .Added to my p and o fleet . I use vessel finder app but for some reason it won't add Aurora although it will find her if searched for so I have 3 british flagged ships Arvia ,Iona, and Britania and 3 Bermuda flagged ships Azura, Ventura, and Arcadia with Aurora A.W.O.L. which is Bermuda registered.

The cabin shown CZ grade deck 8 the balcony is larger than the deck 10 aft cabin The cabin will be the same .So if you take deck 8 cabin you will get the onlookers on the promenade deck

Again only saying about aft section port and starboard cabins are about the same but the slightly larger balconies on 10 also run through mid aft and half the mid ship section but mid forward and forward are smaller balconies The aft section cabins port and starboard are slightly overlooked from above .A good example of the larger size is possibly compare to C deck on ventura and Azura and the smaller ones to B deck

No not aft facing actual port side and starboard side and as I listed in previous #12 link
