HELEN HENRY Posted February 16, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Did you get your invite by email or letter? I received a phone call in January offering me several dates, but we could only manage on the 30th May. We had 24 hrs to decide then let P&O know.

amajaa Posted February 16, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Did you get your invite by email or letter? We got a letter about a month ago asking us if we wanted to enter a draw for a visit on either 5th Match or 13th March and asking our preference. I put 13th and luckily got the visit. We got a letter early last week telling us. Loads of other must have got the letter the same day for these two dates judging by the exited posts on Facebook.

Sanjam cruisers Posted February 17, 2015 #13 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi Pat Would be most interested in hearing your opinion of the Balcony sizes of various cabins if you get the chance. Do enjoy your visit. We are off on Ventura a week on Friday. Hope you and Scott are well. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, I will take photographs of the balconies and measure the balconies and send you an e-mail with photographs included. We are both well thank you but still undecided what to do regarding cruising before joining Britannia in Oct/Nov. Have a wonderful cruise on Ventura. Regards Pat.

amajaa Posted February 17, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hopefully we will get to look round all the Staterooms as I would like to see what the suites are like. We always book a balcony, the suites are a bit out of our price range, but I would like to see what we are missing. On Queen Victoria in December we were next to one of the Queen's Grills it looked enormous, I would loved to of had a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we had booked the suite on Britannia before P&O actually released sizes of suites. Yes,I agree the suites on Victoria Queen's Grill Are big, but the suites on Princes Grill grade are the same size as Sup De Lux on Azura and Ventutra. Still looking forward to viewing all the staterooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi WINDSONG2, my name is Pat and my husband is Scott, it would be nice if we manage to meet up on Britannia and say hello. To be truthful just how big does the balcony need to be as long as there is a couple of chairs and a table that should be enough. Look forward to hopefully meeting you on 30th May.

Friends have been invited to the "shakedown" cruise on 11th March, prior to her inaugural cruise, so we will very interested to hear their views. Look forward to meeting up on 30th.

...andjumbletoo Posted February 25, 2015 #22 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Tickets for the visit on March 13th arrived this morning, looking forward to the lunch !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted February 25, 2015 Author #23 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ours arrived as well. We got the car park ticket but it seems we have to pay £5 on exit. Which isn't a problem, but am I reading that correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kernow Posted February 25, 2015 #24 Share Posted February 25, 2015 We had tickets arrive for 13th today too. Yes, I read it that we have to pay £5 for the parking on exit. Looking forward to seeing the ship and of course lunch:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted February 26, 2015 #25 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Our tickets also arrived for 13th March and we have to park at Ocean Car park which will cost £5. Looking forward to going on board for a look around and lunch. I wonder if they would notice if we slip into our cabin and spend the night there instead of going back to the hotel for the night before boarding properly on 14th for the maiden cruise. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
