room with a view

Thanks, we will check out the MDRs and Epicurean for Christmas Day.

Hello, we are doing a Christmas Cruise on the Azura from Tenerife . We are not familiar with the ship ... we have have Freedom Dining . Is there a particular dining room that is a favourite with all you P&O long time cruisers ? Any tips for having an excellent cruise ? ..thanks for any advice.

Thanks..we will !

Come on tell us where and which 🚢 ship ....thanks

It will be the Greek Islands the next time for us .Going on the Gem next month ...starting in Spain and visiting Spanish ports .

I always thought if I book my cruise and my free at sea package in advance with their German website, the tax is included in the final price. Yes, ...booked through the UK website I thought I had paid all taxes in the pre paid price . BUT NO says NCL . How is this tax collected and paid to Spain ? ... on a full cruise it must be a lot of euros . Where is this shown in any of NCLs accounts per cruise ? Is it ALL cruise, Princess, MSC, Fred Olsen, P &O ..cannot get any answers .

Thanks ...we have booked 510. ....looking forward to a great cruise

No ...though there is a discussion on CC about VAT in Spanish waters

Thanks, BB ...we are booked now on the 9th deck port side ... first time on this ship so fingers crossed all goes well !!

Thanks everyone .

Wow !! thanks, Deb ... I'll start it tomorrow . Hopefully I will have it resolved soon ...it seems NCL UK are dragging this out in the hope I go away ..and I'm not !!!!

Thanks, Deb .. phoning America and explaining the problem would be a costly phone call ...and a letter would take some time . Perhaps I'll hand it over to ABTA ..Association of British Travel Agencies for help . NCL are members.

?????

That must be the reason ... it's regarding a refund that Southampton are reluctant to authorise . I'm now going to try dealing with Miami ...thanks

Both have same phone number 0333 2412319. Thanks, but I need an email address

Thanks, everyone ...we are booked .

Thanks, but that's the customer services at Southampton ... I need to get in touch by e-mail with the customer services in Miami .

Hi , I need the e-mail address for customer services , Miami . Thanks,

We are looking to book D deck ..midshipman port side if available..thanks

Thanks Dai ..First time on.P&0 so I will definitely close it ...thanks

It will be a gorgeous meal whatever time we have it !!

Hi, thought you could close the aircon off in the cabin

Thanks ...still hoping someone will answer the question about any problems with the lifeboats just below deck 9 - any movement noise when the ship is moving at night ...we like to leave the balcony door open ,

Thanks for the information .the cruise is "at sea" on Christmas Day/ New Years Eve ...not sure how that will be for "freedom dining" passengers . We hope to get this booked today . ...see availabilty of cabins

Thanks Clodia.. There's no availability for midships on the dates we want ..deck 9 is available OK the deck is overlooked but I don't think it will bother us too much . DH says he likes the bigger cabin ! !
