An update, in case anyone else is in the same boat (so to speak!): My wife phoned* P+O this morning and they were able to see our 'E-Ticket' on their internal system and provide the all important freight references which enabled me to to check in for both flights (out and return) on the easyjet website, pay for aisle seats and large cabin baggage and print our boarding passes. *amazingly they answered the phone within a minute or so!

Just bumping this as we have a similar issue - flying from Manchester to Malta ith Easyjet next Thursday and the P+O 'Air Confirmation' says that we must check n online for the flight using the "flight reference found on your E-Ticket", but as the OP points out, there are no E-tickets these days! Anyone know how we go about checking in for the Easyjet flight online?

We're going from MAN this September and have been allocated an Easyjet flight; having never flown with them before, we are a bit worried - are they as 'bottom of the barrel' as Ryanair?!

That would be my choice too, but they are only on the Discovery class ships and I want to do the Adriatic...

In a rare example of 'OP returns to report back on the thread he started', I'm pleased to report that everything went smoothly this morning; we were waved through at each stage and were chilling out in Central Park by 11.20 Thanks for all the replies!

We had quite enough of that at MIA immigration a week ago (90+ minute lines!) Thanks - we're really looking forward to it (boardwalk balcony). Unfortunately, we have not enjoyed Carnival Celebration this past week. We went with an open mind as we have sailed with Carnival previously and enjoyed it, but their Vista Class is way too crowded and lacks the 'wow factor' of any of the new RCI ships of the past decade or so. Basically, if you don't like endlessly drinking or gambling (we don't do either), Carnival doesn't offer much to do - we have been bored on the sea days, whereas on RCI ships we can spend hours just roaming around the ship, watching people having a blast on the flowrider, climbing wall, zip line, etc. Also, the ship is absolutely crawling with photographers in an evening, including blocking entrances to the main restaurants - it's like trying to avoid the hawkers in Nassau/Cozumel!

OK, maybe not literally yelled at, but we received our boarding day reminder email this morning and it clearly states: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- it's critical that you adhere to your arrival time! Those who arrive sooner will be turned away to avoid an overcrowding of guests at the terminal and asked to return during their scheduled time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We don't really want to be 'turned away' and forced to wonder around PortMiami in the blazing sun for two hours plus, so we were hoping that if we explained politely why we were early, they might take pity on us poor confused Brits?!

We are currently on Carnival Celebration and are switching over tomorrow (Sunday 19th) to Oasis OTS in Miami. This is the first time we have ever done two consecutive cruises and we are a bit worried about potentially being turned away from the RCI terminal as we have no choice but to arrive at least two hours before our official check in slot, which is 12.30 to 1.30pm (the earliest available when we did online check in). Has anyone ever done this before? What is likely to happen when we arrive at terminal A? I don't want to be yelled at for being too early, but I don't think we can hang about at the Carnival terminal either. If we explain why we are early will they at least allow us to wait in the terminal area?

The reaction of the female bartender (5 seconds in) was hilarious - very 'CSI Miami'

Why does it look so sad??

This one, presumably...?

vaccinated: no unvaccinated: yes ...explains why you have been hearing yes and no!

I recently saw a YouTube video which makes that point quite succinctly! Buyer beware!!

True during the summer months, but... My wife and I only travel abroad in Winter these days, so the Caribbean is the most cost effective cruising option for us - we have done the P+O cruises from Barbados to death over the years, so we are looking at doing more from Florida in future. Yes, it is expensive to fly from the UK to Florida these days, but cruises from Florida between November and February (excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas) are so cheap, especially on some of the older ships, that it is almost the same cost as a cruise from (say) Barcelona in Summer, even allowing for the airfare in each case. Likewise, but our solution to that problem is to do a pair of cruises back to back!
