azura A018 questions

[sunlover.uk]

HI

I'm after some help please, have mailed p&o but no reply yet. Do anyone know if they is a soda package to purchase for my 9year old boy and a wine package for me? I have sailed with OV 1&2 and Navigator of seas but never with P&O and really excited.

Many other questions but i dont want to bore you all :)

thanks

There are wine packages - six bottles in each I believe - and I think they will be something like a New World Package - etc. We have never used this facility so I can't tell you more than that. One thing, if you go into the restaurant for lunch one day - the main restaurant - sometimes they advertise bin end wines on the left hand side of the menu and these are excellent value for money. We had some superb bin ends for £12 and you can purchase one at lunch time and then have it served at your table in the evening.

 

Yes there are soda packages but I don't know more than that. If you ask at any of the bars I'm sure they will be able to help you.

 

We are on Azura next March and really looking forward to sampling a new ship. We have been on 9 cruises with P&O previously. I can't answer any questions about Azura but if there's anything you want to know about P&O in general please ask. If you go to the P&O site and register on their Community section you will find both a part devoted to Azura and quite a few long reviews - the majority of them very positive.

Firstly here are some photos of Azura -over 60 - that I took while on board for the naming ceremony, staying overnight in a balcony cabin:

There will no doubt be wine packages, a card maybe on your table on the first dinner to promote it, or if not ask the wine waiter. Usually 3 red and 3 white , but maybe worth just choosing your own ecery night depending on what food you choose to eat?

 

Here is a example of a wine package from a Arcadia cruise in 2008,

 

Premier Package £148 6 bottles

New World Package £80.65 6 bottles

Great pics Sue! You know just what a cruiser wants to see!:)

We're not hearing much about Azura - unlike Ventura in the first few months. Must be a good thing?

Thanks.

 

I've read all good things about AZURA since I went to the naming ceremony, I would like to cruise on her too one day. The overnighter was great but I would liked to have stayed onboard!
