No problem..as long as yu feel safe and are happy with prices....yu will enjoy anyway

I would advise NOT booking cruise excursions,,its a lot cheaper if you negotiate a taxi / minibus at ANY of the ports visit. THEY WILL DROP YOU OFF WHEREVER YOU WANT and you dont pay until they pick you up......and will get you back in plenty of time we have visited the caribbean many many times. As a instance, we got off the ship in Barbados...bus station across the road....cost us 1 us dollar to get the local beach...ship would have charged 45

We have very recently booked a fly cruise on AZURA to med and canaries (23 day) I then applied for the military OBC, I also had the BLUE LIGHT CARD. ...Sent all details, card numbers etc. Just had a reply from PO "Because we can see you booked a late saver fare THE DEFENCE COUNCIL CARD is not combinable with your fare type.We do offer BLUE LIGHT benefit which is additional OBC calculated by length of cruise and cabin grade selected. PLEASE NOTE......the benefit can only be applied to our SELECT FARES at the time of booking over the phone.PLEASE NOTE the BLUE LIGHT CARD BENEFITS are not applicable to bookings made through TRAVEL AGENTS.ONLY IF BOOKED DIRECTLY WITH PO.over the phone...........This is the second time the military benefit has been refused by PO, it is OBVIOUS they are looking for excuses not to apply it. It seems you MUST BOOK THROUGH PO DIRECT WITH A SELECT FARE AND BOOKING A PREMIUM CABIN. (Which is a lot more than booking with TA.) Talk about CLASS SYSTEM.....just because we like to communicate with a live face to face person and try to save a few pennies we are penalised for it. Previous to these last 2 cruises I never had a problem getting the MILITARY BENEFIT on either PO and PRINCESS. Now all of a sudden they decide they need to do this............................................................................................. SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN BEWARE........THIN END OF THE WEDGE.

Simple answer.....In the dress that you mentioned ...absolutely YES

Just like to add a point to this conversation if I may.....I recently booked a PO cruise with a 4 night hotel stay ( Barbados), when I asked for my MILITARY credit I had the same answer and it was denied, but I had my shareholders credit......We then booked a Princess cruise and had BOTH added with no problem .

Last year I paid 399.00 for annual cruise insurance for Europe etc....with existing conditions ...this time we are going back to Caribbean (so world wide inc USA) £1150

Thanks for that..good to know

Hargreaves and Landsdown.....The first time I rang them and they inform the company about you holding shares......but they dont show up until you actually book in on board. PRINCESS do a similar thing.Tell them REF NO....SHIP...DATES

Understand that, what we want to know is will it be ok there until we pick up our transport?

we are flying from Heathrow with BA,,,,obviously return as well....we have a private taxi booked at 1-30 for airport....We know luggage goes out night before, but if we are on a chartered flight to Heathrow with BA.....will OUR luggage be with rest and OK until we pick it up when we leave.... or do we have to keep it all with us until leaving ship....?? Anyone have any ideas.

Apparently you can or so I am told,, but get in early on.....about £40 I believe

Thanks all I will certainly do that

Gotta...cheers

We have 3 days left before we become "elite" members,, we are on a cruise (North Cape) 14 days in June 2023.....anyone know if we will be given ELITE status after those 3 days? or wait until next cruise?

THERE ARE NO "RESERVED SEATS.....on Princess ships......we did one recently and NEVER reserved a seat and never saw seats "reserved" in any way shape or form.....we just turned up and walked in....sat on any seat available. and we arrived at various times...sometimes 30 mnts sometimes 10 mnts before start.
