  1. Not sure if this counts! It's the view from the back of our house looking over The Estuary to Lelant. The white building (it's ship like from our back door) is Lelant Golf Club, you can see the sea when the tide is in.

    P&O site & another online/TV agent (the 1st one I thought of 😉 ) seem unchanged.

     Cruise +  Flight

    Eastern Caribbean from Barbados, 27 November 2020 (15 nights)

          ( 331 )

    This sailing is not available

    Please search for a similar sailing below

    We're booked on this and have heard nothing. Balance is due to TA end of next week, have been waiting to hear before cancelling  as I still don't  feel it's safe enought to go!

  3. I did a Baltic cruise a couple of years ago and in St Petersburg did a tour with Red Sun Tours who organised the tour to our groups requirements. Our guide was Elena (the owner of the company) and we had a really enjoyable two days touring the city which included a river trip and a subway ride as well as visits to some of the mayor attractions.

  4. I like to have a drink with my food.  I found on that as I can only carry one item at a time I was getting food then going back for coffee, and by the time I had returned the food was no longer hot, or the coffee if I did it in reverse order!

  5. I have some from our cruise on her in November in the Caribbean.

     

    I do remember that there was a new show which was premiered on our last night "Mr Tickerton's Clockwork Circus" and Astonishing was also on in The Headliners theatre.  

     

    Will need to get them out to see what else was on.

    The things that are making me slightly nervous about the experience are the size, the number of comments about Iona's 'younger demographic' we are in our early 50's and the fact that it seems to be going away from the more formal evenings that I was expecting from a cruise.

     

     

     

    The main selling point for us was the fact that she is the new ship and my mother particularly was interested in sailing on her.

     

    Our ages range between 60 to late 80's - so we are certainly not in the 'younger demographic' group and are booked to sail on her in July. 

  7. We are booked to sail on Iona and I am looking forward to it.  I know she is big, maybe we love, like or hate her, but until we've been we won't know! 

    When we originally booked Britannia we thought she was going to be too big, but after having sailed on her several times we no longer think that.  We don't find her particularly crowded and can normally find somewhere to sit in the various venues.

  8. Received the email and as it had no sound - thought it was my laptop, but reading above gives the indication it's not!!

     

    Probably trying to get us all excited before announcing her godmother (who nobody's heard of?)
