purplecatherine Posted November 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi all. I've just booked our first cruise (hurrah!!!). We're on P&O Ventura departing Barbados on 12th Feb. 2010. There's me (mum), hubby and son (10 years). We are calling @ Barbados, St.Vincent, Grenada, Curacao, Aruba, Catalina Island, Tortola, St.Maarten, St.Kitts & St.Lucia. Can anyone suggest any 'most-do' excursions (or indeed 'don't bother' excursions), on any or all of these ports? Are they best booked through the ship or in-port? Is it best to hire snorkel equipment (if not included in the excursion) or take our own? Can anyone tell me about the laundrette on board? How much is it? Do I need to take washing power/tablets? What about clothing? On the non-formal nights, what is the accepted dress code? What will my son (10 years) be expected to wear on both the formal & non-formal nights? What to wear during the day? How can I minimise on-board expenditure? We are in cabin D719. Anyone been in that cabin? Is it possible for my son to visit the bridge or is that strictly off-limits? Soooo many questions I know, but I really have no idea what to expect. I'm a Coeliac and need gluten free food but I think I'll post a new thread about that one! Thanks in advance for any advice given. Cheers. PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soccerref Posted November 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Welcome to the wonderul world of cruising. You might be better asking these questions on the P&O -UK board. Look under 'cruise lines' on the main forum menu. P&O also have a very good web site of their own where there is a forum for specific ships with loads of info. Just google P&O and look for their home site. Have a fab time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattyG12 Posted November 24, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Please email their special needs department regarding your food requirements. While i've never sailed P&O, I'm sure they will accommodate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
