Late flight Barbados

If you are thinking of using the club lounge at airport best book in advance , I tried on spec and they were fully booked -
good point my other half had an iphone melt down whilst charging , it was sent back and was told the reason for this was not using Apple charger although it was

Battery technology is rapidly advancing , lithium phosphate does seem the way to go ,problems are long term testing , people want lightweight but maximum AH , do not want to pay the price tag and want them now

Boeing never expected the lithium batteries on dreamliners to ignite causing a complete grounding for months
-
Indeed most scooters and batteries are manufactured in China , point being reputable dealers are using tried and tested products that have been around for years not ones sourced independently from manufacturers who are not .

Dont want to name names but sounds like costco , if you google name with fire it brings it up

There is a British mobility company selling cheap chinese mobility scooters that use untested lithium batteries , their own warehouse caught fire a few weeks ago that stored said batteries . Who knows how many of these are out in the field .

The battery pack looks more like the mobility scooter type -shape not a powerchair , it would be very odd for it to be just left in middle of walkway , these cannot just fall off

Disappointing 'All Inclusive' package

Just booked this cruise for next year , out of interest what were the choices of lager please do you know if they also had cider -
Both on package and independent , also read on cc that you can opt to carry on the ship your own luggage , they must scan cases dockside , so no need to wait for cases to arrive at cabin , I have been tempted by this but never tried this

Yes Jim we have done this a few times on different cruise lines , I think it was called independent carry off or something like that . From memory you were notified of how to leave ship on disembarking day and ticked box that this is what you were doing , only downside trying to get in lifts with your party and luggage can be manic

In the past it was an option to take your own suitcases off on your own which we have done a few times

Thanks for the interesting read , we were docked beside this ship in Antigua earlier this year , it looked great so we booked it for this coming February starting from Barbados . The booking via App sounds like a faff though also we are booked with friends who have booked a cabin with balcony at rear of ship , is the infinity pool splashing over a problem .

Charges, after leaving the ship
paularmstrong replied to GingerS1's topic in Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson)
Tui are proving to being an absolute shambles for any aftersales , I am still waiting for response where they mailed they would come back to me in usually 28 days , this was in February . Despite being a very good customer over the last 15 years i am now booking holidays and other cruises elsewhere -
Depends where you dock DM is a big place , I have docked at Samana before which is not the best , however second visit there in Samana we took a boat ride over to Bacardi Island which was stunning .

Is Marella letting standards slip?
paularmstrong replied to Brummijam's topic in Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson)
A few year ago on canary sail away 2 elderly men starting fighting over one pinching the others drink ! it was all inclusive , after breaking up the scrap I said to one that this was going to be the last TUI cruise . Not any more always something entertaining going on -
Is Marella letting standards slip?
paularmstrong replied to Brummijam's topic in Marella Cruises (formerly Thomson)
Because Brummijam clearly stated by a post from someone else the cruise attracted mainly scottish and northern England people -

Yes Cliff we were docked beside it in Antigua it looked fabulous compared to discovery , We booked on to go next February and it was £1000 cheaper and flying with Tui from our local airport direct to Barbados
