  1. Me neither. Never seen a bar, although they occasionally have had coffee at the priority waiting area.
  2. Yes. Worst I have experienced was in the Med on Eclipse. Hit by the Mistral Force 12. Needed crampons to walk from one side of the ship to the other!
  3. Better buy a lottery ticket!😊
  4. Best to avoid beaches ( like Cane Garden Bay) where all the cruise ships send their passengers. Better to get a taxi to one of the quieter ones if you can.
  5. Go for it! Best holiday for solos. Have done many and enjoyed most of them immensely.
  6. I am Ligurian and time varies from 1145 to 1215 depending on which cruise and which ship. Luggage has only ever been late arriving once - Iona (due to size probably).
  7. Agree. Only decent part is Ocean Village.
  8. Nothing wrong with smart shorts and open neck shirt in hot climates. But no Steve Irwin's or socks with sandals!
  9. Apparently, it is now Batthem and Superthem. Oh, and Binthem!! LOL
  10. Went on Ventura after refit (think it was 2018) and noticed some internal improvements like new carpets and furniture. Plus improved lighting ad general spruce up. Cabin had new carpet (at last!) but still the same old TV.
  11. Or walk off a few calories! The tuk tuks are fun!
  12. With staff shortages and supply chain problems, I don't think the galley would be too happy if lots of people started asking for items not appearing on the menu though.
  13. Yes, had this problem on the Solstice class ships, even in the Sunset Bar occasionally.
  14. 17 minutes if you are Usain Bolt! City terminal is closest, almost next to Holiday Inn. Walked it to Celebrity Eclipse once. Took me about 17 minutes pulling my suitcases!
  15. Cruise package at Holiday Inn includes 15 days parking and costs on average about £240 depending on time of year (not available during boat show though).
  16. P&O cruises from Southampton do but obviously longer ones.
  17. No. I have occasionally booked saver. If I got early sitting I was always able to change it to the late one.
  18. A pair of cheap crampons is a good idea. Very icy when I went and I slipped over even in good boots. Mine cost ten quid and quick to put on over any footwear. But don't wear them indoors!
  19. Quite a distance if you have to lug cases or if weather is bad. I always have cruise package with taxi included.
