If they don't like the photos you uploaded, they will take them again. When do you upload your photo, is it when you fill in the health documents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are having a little road trip/staycation on the way down to Southampton and will not have access to a printer. The health questionnaire will arrive 3 days before the cruise and we will have left home by then. I note that you mention printing documents. Did this include the questionnaire or would we be able to show it on the phone? I’ve already printed everything else. They asked the health questions again in the terminal but never asked to look at them on my phone or printed documents either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got the the first deck at the terminal we told the Lady we had printed out the health declaration with the green ' cleared' flash. She didn't even look and said ' seen those, I have to go through the questions again'. I suppose there is method in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The health declaration is there but not available yet. Our next staycation cruises is in 13 days. I filled in all the stuff on Friday. The health questionnaire won't open up until 72 hours. That's the same as our last 2. Our next 'proper' cruise is October next year. I haven't looked yet but don't expect anything is there yet. Once we get back from the next staycation cruise, we will take stock and may book another cruise,or fly cruise. If too many restrictions are still in place we will pick a green, or amber list country and fly off to the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the idea is to focus passengers' minds on the health questions in the run up to boarding, so that people aren't phased by them at the terminal? I haven't seen the online declaration...yet.

That may focus their minds on the fact that P&O can do their own flipping printing as the customers ink may run out . Again. And another thing.

BABBY Posted August 25, 2021 #165 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Hi just seen you have come off of this ship - please can you let us know any of the following please? Can anyone please advise us as soon as possible on what we need to do or take on our cruise Sunday, as not booked a holiday online before. It says complete health declaration 3 days before - so will do that tomorrow, but do i have to log out and in for each person to do this? Also once completed can i come out and go back in and print off? Do p&o then respond by email to that health questionaire and that is what you take with you? as some information online is saying you print off and some info saying they email you. Also once gone in and checked in or completed health questionaire etc, can i go back in and either print or amend if need be if done something wrong, I am taking it that i just check in and print/take my: Travel ins doc - download NHS app for covid vaccination evidence or print off the pdf that can download - then once checked in my e ticket - boarding pass Re booking entertainment etc I have heard there is an app? is this called my holiday and can only be downloaded and then picked up on ships wifi once on board to book dining, shows etc. How easy is it to book things once on board too please? Any information or advise greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare debsjc Posted August 25, 2021 Author #166 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Babby - i'll try and help with some of your questions The app you do not use until you are on the ship. All your pre-departure info you complete on the P&O website, under your booking. If everyone is in one booking, you will not need to log in and out. They ask you to print your health declaration, e-ticket and boarding pass. Although if you can't they can be done at the terminal. When you fill out the health questionnaire you will get an immediate online response saying clear, if you answer the questions correctly. They also ask you to upload a photo for each guest if you can (again not essential) It is essential you have the NHS certificate (not just the vaccination card) or the NHS app showing your jabs. Re entertainment, you should be able to book events in the main show lounge online now (in your booking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks in advance If you are travelling to Southampton by car and you are parking with CPS, ensure that you have printed off your vaccination documents for all passengers which must include your name date of birth and the date of your vaccinations . There is no wifi or 4g at the testing station used by CPS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalifaxYorksCruiser Posted August 29, 2021 #168 Share Posted August 29, 2021 I would also advise printing off vaccine certification. We thought screenshots of the QR code pages would be ok but P &O don’t have QR readers. If you do use screenshots make sure you have the full two pages showing all of the details. We had to log on to the NHS app - I think we did have 4G signal but either way got logged on ( after a bit of a panic when my wife forgot her password , whereas I had face recognition for my NhS app ). Other than that testing was quick ( results through in 10 mins ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted September 1, 2021 #169 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I agree with HalifaxYorksCruiser. Definitely try and get printed copies of your vaccination Certs. They were the only things apart from passports that security looked at. Didn’t even ask to see insurance details, just asked if we had insurance. We had printed the medical questionnaire and again didn’t want to see it and went through it all verbally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glf2710 Posted September 7, 2021 #170 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi - can you tell me what the selection of drinks in Brodie's was like - they used to do "The Great British Beer Menu" - I don't think they call it that now, but they always had an extensive range of bottled beers - just come off Iona and it's a very disappointing and paired down selection of drinks in all bars. In The Crow's nest do they still do the Gin Menu? On Iona that's been relocated to Andersons Bar - the range is very good, but Andersons is very soulless and so it's not a place you would really want to stay in. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the main dining room had 'sittings' but I don't have any information on my booking and everyone keeps talking about booking on the app which doesn't appear to be working properly. Any advice? Thanks At the moment the main dining room is on a ‘turn up’ basis. We never had a problem getting a table and there was plants of delicious food.

Bashyman Posted September 13, 2021 #175 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi, We're due (for the 3rd time) to go on the Britannia for 14 nights next summer. We have two teenage boys. Is there an arcade on board? I've looked at a couple of vlogs on youtube and none mention it Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
