I thought you could book 7 day or 14 day cruises on Azura, so not B2B, unless you do 21 days or more.

That sort of statistical analysis does not prove the buffet is good or bad, but does suggest the MDR is quite safe, as long as everyone chooses the same dishes as you! 😁

I dont think so, you need a page which shows your name as well as your holding. However if you contact your fund manager, by phone, e-mail or secure message from your app/account, they quite often offer a service to send the confirmation of your holding to Carnival. You will need to send them your cruise number and booking ref for them to give Carnival the correct info to add the OBC to your booking.

But it only ever takes one ship at a time.

I am sure if I worried about all those things as much as some posters seem to, I would end up just staying at home. A few germs are good for super charging your immune system, or at least I hope so. if I am correct then I should be safe in most holiday establishments.

I seem to get the same Deja vous feeling on a regular basis.

I imagine the floating dock is not available due to it being needed for a RCI vessel.

Do you know for certain that they have caved in, or have they agreed a price reduction for the passenger tax with Amsterdam?

Check out the price for parking with P4C, they could be less than the OBC you are receiving, they are always less than CPS for longer cruises.

Were those broccoli and carrot ice creams you were having?😉

No reall need for a shuttle in Lisbon, the ship docks within easy walking distance of the main tourist area. In Porto you will need the shuttle to take you from the port to the Town centre which is a 30-40 minute drive.

The only ship I can think of that came anywhere near worthy of a Butlins at sea label, was our very first cruise on a 4 nighter out of Cape Canaveral on Carnival Carnivale in about 1996, I think. Mainly because of the way the cruise director compered all the entertainment, an American version of Ted Bovis. However I doubt that Butlins berate their customers to remember to tip the waiters and stewards quite as much.

Moley recently commented that Azura is having to follow rules set by Malta rather than Southampton. Which is presumably why her mask wearing reqts are stricter.

Much easier to do when you only have a population of just over 5 million, as opposed to almost 70 million.

I wonder if the same people that complain about the buffet being a breading ground for germs, also use the ships library, but don't worry about whose dirty hands last read the book?

The lack of a cohesive response from P&O customer service staff is a major issue that crops up repeatedly. This must come from a lack of leadership and seems to be worrying a great many forum members.

I doubt they do 3000-5000 tests over a 4 hour period, otherwise there would be long queues.

You press the little + at the side of the quote button, rather than the quote button, once you have +'d all the posts you want you press the pop up box.

But the P&O test system caused significant delays and everyone had a time slot, so why would your proposal not cause the same chaos?

Presumably there is nothing to stop you taking them back to your cabin?

Even if they have them, they may well be disabled, because the on board system uses its functionality.

I thought someone said it had usb sockets on the base of the table lamps?

Doesn't the metadata stay with the photo when you send it to Randox, or any other provider?

If, like us, you undertake 2 or 3 cruises a year, mostly with Carnival brands, then whatever the purchase price you very quickly recoup your investment in OBC, and in our case we also received a decent amount of dividend over the last 10 years.

I would have expected Iona to be far more manoeverable than Britannia due to having azipods. However any high sided cruise ship will have problems in strong cross winds, including Azura and Ventura.
