No, no dining options are available but check in hasn't opened yet. I expect we will be able to check in this weekend, so perhaps after that.

I am on Brtiannia in about 3 weeks, and having just checked My P&O and The Retreat is bookable.

Belated Anniversary wishes to Dermontsgirl and hubby. Hope you both had a lovely celebration.

Happy Anniversary to Pauline and Graham, hope you are having a lovely day.

And from a couple of different angles

We were on Iona in January last year, with my mother and her wheelchair, and had no lift issues. Everyone was very polite and let us in first, the fact that is was January and sailing at half capacity possibly made a difference? Thank you, for another informative and balanced report, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your cruise.

No, it was accidentally. My mother had made the lemon curd and given him some telling him it needed to be used within a few days, so he had been using it and just put it in his girlfriends sandwiches without thinking.

I seem to have spent all day on my laptop, as first off I booked an excursion for my cruise on Britannia and then researched and booked flights to Sicily in October. Still need to book a hotel and train tickets, so that will probably be tomorrow's job!

On Arvia in May there were a lot of queue jumpers, those that had just arrived at the lifts and also happened to be nearer the lift that arrived than those that had been waiting for however long.

My son has made sandwiches for his girlfriend with fish fingers and then added lemon curd!😲

I tried earlier today to book an excursion for our Britannia cruise in less than four weeks and had problems. It kept changing the time from what I was trying to book to the other available option. I managed finally to get the booking I wanted. Talking to other members of our party, who booked last night, they were having the same problems. 🙄

Sorry to read this, hope you don't suffer too much and get better soon.

I do check "Who Called Me" and leave a comment. My daughter answered and didn't realise it was a scam call until she was asked if she was by the router, when she realised we weren't with sky.

Just received a phone call reporting to be Sky Technical Support and my broadband is being used by unauthorised, they can fix it. Asked my daughter, who had answered the phone, if she was by the router? Yes, she replied but were not with Sky! Needless to say the phone went down quickly!

Glad to hear you had a safe journey home, and glad that you had a good time. Thank you for an informative and interesting read of your cruise, along with some lovely photos. We were on Arvia in May and due on her again next March, although I enjoyed the ship I did not enjoy the hassle of trying to get an evening meal!!

My daughter has just sent a text asking if we would like to join them for a BBQ this afternoon as the weather is looking nice. So I need to have a rummage in the freezer to see what I can find.

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Hope you feel better soon.

I have a soft spot for Oceana as she was our first cruise with P&O.

I am sure you have many happy memories.

Thank you for taking us on your cruise with you and for an interesting review with lovely photos.

Morning everyone, Hope you're all well. I have been us since early so decided I'd go to Tesco before the traffic builds, It's only taken me about 1 1/2 hours to drive there, get my shopping and drive back compared to the time it took me earlier on in the week. Would have taken less if they didn't keep moving things around😡 As the rest of my day is now free.🙂 Have a good weekend.

Possibly. We flew out from Manchester a few years back on a Virgin Atlantic plane, part of the plane was P&O cruise passengers the rest of the plane was not.

Lovely photos.

So sorry, what a nightmare!

I'd struggle to find anything on that menu! I expect I would end up with steak and cheese for afters.
