It really would be nice. One day! So when are you going to the Azores? Must say, I rather like Fred's way of doing things compared to P&O. I have booked Tastes, although the confirmation didn't mention the price. But I see it in the description. I didn't like the look of the Indian menu, but it's only an example.

Eglesbrech, are you on this cruise. Our trip in Praia is Amazing Tours. Madeira is Madeira Airport transfers.
-
Yes my friend, who unfortunately died last year, did a British Isles cruise on her and liked her very much. Sounds good for the house Chardonnay.
-
Doing the Blue and GreenCrater Lakes in Punta Del in a car with local guide. Doing a fred excursion in Praia da Vittoria and another private one in Madeira. Have booked Tastes on your recommendation.

Thanks a lot Eglesbrech. Don't do martinis, but will definitely try the speciality restuarants. Love Asian and Indian. Long time since we sailed on Fred, but looking forward to Bolette. Got a couple of nice private excursions booked, one in Madeira and one in Punta Delgada. No need to pay until you get there either.

Selbourne ‘Live’ from Aurora’s 2024 Grand Tour
jeanlyon replied to Selbourne's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
I had no problem downloading via wifi ashore to my Kindle and mine is really old. -
What ship was this on, because they were coming round all the time at the pools on Aurora.
-
Certainly wasn't like that on Aurora in October. Everybody seemed to be drinking during the day, which we don't and certainly the bars were full in the evenings. We had a table for 8 an everyone on the table was drinking wine.
-
We just drink ours!!
-
Well not really, as if I had waited until I got home to book, it would have been the same price just without that OBC
-
Well that's one way to look at it, but we booked our October cruise on board and got £520 OBC and freeparking. As our drinks bill having one large wine each and a bottle with dinner came to £570, we will be quids in!! I never buy anything in the shops. As someone said it's tat.

So you haven't fha So you haven't had any drinks, alcoholic or soft and no coffee?
-
Hi, not sailed on Fred for a while, but do they still keep your wine for the following evening if you don't finish it?
-
Not just Maleth then 🙂 this one says dense acrid smoke in the cockpit. Not nice. https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/vs77#33884c6e

Have to say I hated our Airbus. It flew nose up, so pushing the trolleys was difficult and it yawed at the back. Awful. Mind you that was an A320.
-
Exactly.
-
That route is no longer than the other way. In fact they landed 10 minutes before their schedule time even though they took off late.
-
Exactly. Of course you can fly a different route.
-
That flight looks like it will land on time or just before. They wouldn't choose the route necessarily, Flight control would. Sticking close to land????? Hardly!!

Have only travelled on Arcadia, Aurora and Azura and had the worst time in the Med on Azura. Not sea kindly. The other 2 I have been in a Force 11 on Aurora and Force 10 on Arcadia. Both handled it beautifully. Of course she has stabilizers, but you can't always use these if it's too rough. The P&O website says they have stabilizers on all their ships.
-
Yeah right. They told us that about Oriana. She was gone 2 months later.
-
Now there's a surprise. Never seen people queueing for drinks though. Usually steward service? And anyway, isn't this a 4 days cruise. No drinks packages on those.
-
But again that's the fault of the airport not the airline. The ground take care of how to get disabled pax onto the flights.
-
It will stop a coach load of cruise people on an excursion, unless you split them into 2 and they all have headsets!
-
Yes that's true. Cruise passengers spend very little ashore. We always DIY and do have lunch out, as it makes such a lovely change
