Hi, not for financial stuff, passport identification before being allowed to the ship to board. 🙂

Ps when we were on Britannia we were told that she was sailing with more passengers than her bigger sister Arvia. How true that is, I can not guarantee, but a number of people on there who had sailed on Arvia said they much preferred their cruise on Britannia. Forgot to mention, we took the advice of other CC members and paid for Premium Seats on the flights. It is not cheap, but it was great and we would recommend if you can afford it. If you do want these seats though, you have to book early. Link to our review

We had a fabulous time on our first Caribbean cruise in January 2024 on Britannia and rebooked for January 2025 on board. Our review is on CC. It is a lovely ship which needs some tlc after being in service now since 2015 but she is now having a refurb. I would recommend a cruise in the Caribbean on her 100%. Just remember, you are not paying lots so value for money is excellent in our opinion and beats other cruise lines (including TUI) hands down in terms of what you pay. Give it a go - if you go to enjoy yourself and not pick fault you will have a great time

Same here. I want to see the actual cost as well ! Not too keen on the 10% deposit time.

Thats what puts me off booking early. I like to know the cabin I am booking so wait until bookings open. Have to say have seen a nice 14 nights on Azura from 4th June and a similar itinerary 30th April. What has been fun this time is looking at all cruises and picking the itineraries we want and not having to keep to school holidays. We have been liberated.. yeah

We were asked many moons ago in 2 ports in France as far back as 2018 I think it was. May have been 2016.

Have only looked at a few so far, but from what we've seen it looks an ok list of cruises, with more new ports than of late (I think). There also seem to be more 7 night cruises from Southampton to Spain and France outside of school holidays - which can only be a good thing. Off to look at my brochure now ....

Sadly we are a decorating.... it'll pass 😀

I thought today was the 16th ---- this retirement lark means I have noooo idea what the day or date is any more !!!!

I thought they were coming live today so that you could see them ..... 😞

Thanks for some reason I keep calling them constellation class but that may because we have been on the Constellation. Have to say comparing Constellation with the Edge class is like comparing apples with oranges. Totally different

Is this a constellation class ship? It makes a massive difference in terms.of the overall cruise from our experience with Celebrity.

The song that comes to me is The Carpenters .. Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down ....or is it Sundays? One or the other

We have one too .... born free and now very expensive in her old age. Totally spoiled ... oh to be a cat or dog in a good home !!!

Have been to Rome many times and had a 5 night stay once. Can never get enough of the place .. love it.
