It was something we commented on and so did others. I'm not badmouthing at all. It certainly put me off large ships. Also, there was supposed to be an adults only pool at the stern, but the kids club arrived one day jumped in that pool, one kid had an accident in the pool so that was out of order for 2 days!! The sunbeds were so close together as well. Like I’ve said, not everyone will like each ship. I’m not interested in convincing everyone to like the ship but I’m simply pointing out that what you said was incorrect. Because it would be a shame for people not to book a ship based on false information. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, like I’ve just said. Opinions are opinions. I am simply correcting false information. ‘The prom deck has no windows’ is not an opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted February 22, 2021 #1403 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I just watched Kalos' video and OK there are 3 windows with chairs resting on them in Malabar. I guess we didn't go in the Malabar as I said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Angel. We can only speak as we find. We all have our own favourite ships, and feel hurt and aggrieved when they are criticised by others. For instance, my opinions of RCI are the complete opposite of others on here, we all see with different eyes. Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril Without taking sides, I think joeecco was correcting a factual error Jean made and not her dislike of Azura. Even setting aside this factual error, there are other valid reasons why Jean dislikes Azura which are not factually incorrect (although presumably some would disagree with her assessment). If people wish to, they can discuss these other valid reasons but there can be no discussion about factual errors. That is how misinformation spreads, something I am sure Jean and joeecco would want to avoid. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What absolute rubbish. Quite right Jean. I love Aurora and as I always ate second sitting can absolutely confirm that many people are around until at least 10.30pm in the dining room and then off to catch the late show in the theater often followed by live music in the Crow's Nest. After that, a trip to the buffet for strong Horlicks. Plenty of people still around. Oh how I miss that ship and it's crew. Have been having a Whatsapp video chat recently with a friend who was a waiter. Lovely weather in Kerala so I showed him live pictures of it snowing. His little boy was mesmerised.

We're finishing our coffee in the MDR at that time. Then it's on to a show and then a stroll on the promenade. Then it's back to the cabin for a nightcap on the balcony before bed. I will admit to the occasional 'Nanan Nap' after lunch though. It's a hard life😊. Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&O will not cancel anything until March 2nd now, to give them a week to process the info and also, the current ‘sale’ with low deposits and extra onboard spend ends in March 1 so they’ll wait for people to rebook after that when they’re using FCC.

Looks like hotels wont open up until June, so I can't see cruises being allowed until July at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrierjohn Posted February 22, 2021 #1425 Share Posted February 22, 2021 2 hours ago, joeecco said: Hahaha love that last line. Least you’ve got the best of both worlds when you choose which line. We will try RCI at some point just to see if we are right or wrong, but we’ll be nervous in doing so haha! I love the ‘what shall we do now’ vibe on P&O, whereas the ‘what have we got booked now’ RCI vibe is a little off for us (I know you Don’t have to do everything but we would get FOMO if we didn’t and I’m happy to admit that 😂) You dont need to do everything to fully enjoy a cruise, I accept that trying everything is possible for you young ones, but might well lead to burn out. We only started cruising shortly before we retired over 20 years ago, so our views may not be yours, however we have found that over 6 different main stream cruise lines, there are more similarities than differences. So do not limit yourselves to the lines you choose, in fact the glitz and glamour or modest and understated of the ships decor shows far more differences than the style of cruising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
