STEPHEN LARKIN Posted February 22, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2013 HI folks, I am booked on this mini cruise with my father, we are old hands at cruising and have been with most lines but I do have a burning question that is driving me mad... My Dad has been going through the latest 2013 - 2014 P+O Brochure, in it he has found an entire page (page 31) dedicated to a special guest that will be on-board for this cruise. In fact this special guest will only be on Azura for two mini cruises and I would love to know who it is. I have tried the P+O website which is not working when you ask any questions, so its down to the loyal cruise critic news hounds to solve this one ....please please please try to find out who it is, I'll not sleep tonight until I find out . Cruising mad... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Sharon Posted February 22, 2013 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2013 My first thought was Russell Watson, but it appears not so sorry - can't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPHEN LARKIN Posted February 22, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Yes I did see that Russell Watson was on-board for a few cruises but it is on the Azura 4 night cruise on the 5th of July. Anyone else got a clue who this mystery guest is ? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnboy Posted February 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Going off other forum pages, on the 18th April, Jonathon & Charlotte are on the Azura. They could be on for a couple of cruises. I have read they came second on the X-Factor, could these be your mystery guests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPHEN LARKIN Posted February 22, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I really hope not... I am not an X Factor / Pop Idol / Singing On Ice / Skating in the Jungle / Big Bertha Fan What a load of Rubbish. A Star should be a star, I will be happy with anyone who has had their own tv show on British television in the last 20 -30 years but not some blow-in from a one-off talent bash ! OK that's the end of my rant... please tell me that I can look forward to a good entertainer - Gilbert O'Sullivan or even Bernie Flint would be fine, I'm not asking for much. Anyone else got any hard evidence of who is our mystery guest on Azura ? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPHEN LARKIN Posted February 22, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted February 22, 2013 OK LATEST NEWS ... Johnathan and Charlotte are only on-board Azura for the cruise on the 18th. So we still have a mystery guest to find, Who can it be ? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnboy Posted February 22, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Bet your glad now Stephen, :D:D:D who ever it is can only be an improvement. Enjoy your cruise, please put it on here when you have seen your "mystery " guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwinds Posted February 23, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2013 My guess is they havent confirmed anyone yet.. celebritys wont commit until later incase a better offer of work comes along. Many just get a free cruise for being on a ship so really its a free holiday for them not paid work. Some get paid if they have a lesser cabin.

Rare Host Sharon Posted February 23, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Of course it might not be an entertainer - Marco Pierre White perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many just get a free cruise for being on a ship so really its a free holiday for them not paid work. Some get paid if they have a lesser cabin. P&O I understand give cruise lecturers on board 'staff rooms' - sometimes with a window - not guest rooms, and don't get paid as a rule. Also they can't eat in restaurants except maybe in the buffet. as a rule it is below stairs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between on-board lecturers who do get crew cabins and do get paid, and celebs who get passenger cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissycpm Posted April 14, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 14, 2013 There is no surprise guest on this sailing! The page 31 advertisement refers to when Azura was scheduled for an 11 night sailing.. But this was changed to 3 mini cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi tinker,I hope so too :D I saw a Post earlier regarding Ruthie, soi done some searching and found a tweet 10 days ago from a chap off Azura saying he can't wait as he's seeing Ruthie in 10 days, his post was dated 12th April, so adding 10 days onto his post makes it the 22nd. I then found another thread linking her with Azura 22nd April, so I checked her website, she has tour dates march and may, but none in April, so I think it looks good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berlingo Posted April 19, 2013 #23 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Just wanted to comment with regard to cruise lecturers. We were sat with to a very nice gentleman and his wife in the restaurant on Ventura. He was spending the season lecturing on board. He told us that he was not paid but they cruised for free, had a balcony cabin and all on board expenses were covered apart from alcohol. Oh and he was not thrown out of the restaurant or the theatre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted April 20, 2013 #24 Share Posted April 20, 2013 the Johnson Brothers who were on BGT this evening are also on P&O as guest artists next week. Maybe they are the surprise having appeared on TV and got better known? They've been on Azura before so maybe it's them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
