  1. Sit down on Ventura currently. Does vary though. Personally prefer buffet.
  2. In Santiago from Vigo. Absolutely soaked and cold. Looks like Lisbon cancelled due to strike. Hey ho!
  3. Dancing and bridge/whist still popular on Arcadia and Aurora. Older pax demographic probably the reason.
  4. Don't need to use dispensers. Just use the water from your bathroom and chill it in the fridge. It is the same water!
  5. Those tiny "lobsters" would be illegal to catch in some places. Probably from some country with no regulations. Not exactly like the ones I saw in Canada recently!
  6. Once in Naples (awful place) a man wearing an excessive amount of gold jewellery was told by a shopkeeper in the terminal to go back on the ship and remove it as he was a prime candidate for a mugging. Don't know if he took the advice. Some people leave their common sense at home when on holiday!
  7. Colon is the worst. We were warned not to wander around there. Some idiots ignored the warning, got off and were robbed at gunpoint.
  8. Absolutely. I am Ligurian and the half price laundry is about the only perk I use!
  9. On Tortola, Cane Garden beach is not good. All the cruise ships go there. Did a good excursion to another island with BBQ included. Carambola Beach Club is good. If you are docked at Seraphina in St Lucia, don't miss Rum Therapy. Mad there, but great fun.
  10. Yes, on Aurora in March (Northern Lights) waves were breaking over the Prom Deck and coming into the pub under the doors. Soon rectified with lots of blue towels placed strategically. All good fun!
  11. Sorry, must have misunderstood, as you mentioned Bianco in your post. Yes I have seen deck parties on the Caribbean cruises and they are enjoyable in the balmy weather.
  12. Chips and mayo is a treat for me as I rarely eat chips at home, and the ones on P&O are usually lovely. Otherwise I find the food very good and appreciate not having to cook or wash up!
  13. Never seen Bianco, even in the Caribbean. They used to have a black and white night for one of the formals though plus a tropical night.
  14. For me it does not start at all, which is why I am always away on holiday!
  15. They are, and I always find something I like. If not, there is always chips and mayo!
  16. If going from Southampton you should be able to take enough clothes for a 12 nighter without having to do washing. Leave the housework at home and enjoy your holiday.
  17. Cheap prices don't help. Sadly antisocial behaviour was one of the things that put me off going on Iona again.
  18. On my Iona cruise there was a handbag for over £1000. More than my balcony cabin cost me! Never buy anything in the shops as it is mostly overpriced.
