PAULNJILL Posted June 1, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Do P & O still provide a band and streamers for sailings from Southampton on Arcadia ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted June 1, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Hello PAULNJILL. Yes, the band is still there. The band we had on the Oriana on the 20th May was a police band and they were terrific. Great sendoff. The streamers are no longer with us I'm afraid, enviromentally unfriendly. We all miss them. Have a great cruise, Jimmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindlychap Posted June 1, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2006 The two day Arcadia cruise in April had a band to send us on our way. Given the whistle on Arcadia, probably a useful benefit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thames_side Posted June 2, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2006 In stead of sreamers you get flags to wave. Oh, and you can buy champagne at a "special price". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libra-sue Posted June 2, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Sailaway champagne was £2.90 a glass last week on Arcadia. We didn't get flags at Southampton at Sailaway, just the band, and hoots off the funnel, At our first port sailaway- Maderia , we were given our flags, had disco music, and great fun waving to Legend of the Seas, which was berthed next to us. Did mexican waves with the flags, and sang rule brittiana, then new york, new york to them! They waved back at us too. Any questions about Arcadia just ask. Loved her so much , going to The Med (Rome, Barcelona, Pisa etc) Next June 07 on her. Balcony cabin again. Suex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
