Thank you!!

At last I'm off on the cruise tomorrow but can't find the time it is expected back next saturday 16/09 as I have to arrange transport home . Does anyone have any idea or how I find out?

I have tried P & O

Thanks

Really?? This is my first cruise on the same boat date and we booked this ages back to give us a chance to pay and paid nowhere near this for a balcony cabin on R deck?

How do I unfollow this ? Bored now

Going on my first cruise in just over 2 weeks and a bit concerned/confused now. I don't know people on here but guess some are ok financially. I do not have a problem with auto tip but if on the last night people are handing out envelopes I am going to feel really embarrassed. I appreciate the work the staff do but not sure I can do both.

Thank you !!

???

Where do you get all this on board spending money? We were given £90, that wont last one day!

Oh yeah just been told I need to ask another, we are in cabin R226, is this a good one for views, not a lot of noise etc?

Hi I am a first time cruiser on the Azura for a week from 09/09.

Got a few questions (mostly by the wife), some might be obvious but if you don't know you need to ask.

I have read that tea/coffee etc is provided but cab you buy milk on board? There never seems to be enough and don't like those little plastic thingies.

Towels are they provided, I guess I need to bring one for use of the pool.

Formal dress nights, after the meal do the majority continue to wear tux etc for the rest of the evening or get changed?

Day trips, I have already booked all the ones we want to go on but if the excursion is 2-3 hours is there normally time to walk round the town after on our own?

Weather, may not too cold in the Uk September but at sea and in Norway how cool is it? Will I be ok wearing shorts and a warm top?

Finally and this is probably the stupidest one what are the chance of seeing the northern lights and whales? I know it is early September and we do not go that far north but you never know?

Thanks for your help

Ah thank you, didn't want it to be a debate just heard so many different things and want to do the norm.

I posted this on another forum and advised to post this on here.

Hi

I am going on my first cruise with P & O in September. I am aware that a daily gratuity charge is added to the bill but I was wondering if you tipped stewards bar staff etc. and if so how often and how much?

Thanks

Thank You !!

Hi thanks for the tips, sorry replies.

If I'm honest I'm not that much wiser.

I am on a P & O cruise (sterling) and wondered if you tipped your steward, if so at the start or end of the cruise, if at the bar every time you order a drink??

I have done all inclusive holidays and always leave something when I leave but feel this may be different, just wondered what the norm was as don't want to appear rude or offend the staff. Hope that makes sense.

I'm doing the Norwegian cruise 9th September 2017. I was just wondering if someone could give me some idea of how cold it is?Trying to work out what clothes I need to buy/pack.

Also wondered what wildlife I might see and if there was any chance of seeing the Northern Lights?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the comments.

I never realised that Divvy was a prisoner term. My grandad was from Liverpool, when I was young if I did something silly/ stupid he'd call me a divvy. I've grown up with and in a way used it as a kind of affecetion if my girls did some thing silly.

I think I'm just a bit nervous as it is our first cruise and the thought of me in a tux doesn't exactly fill me with confidence. I've got a image of Phil Mitchell as a bouncer..

Thanks, I'll go with the TUX then and look like a divvy!!:D

I'm going on my first cruise on the Azura September 2017 ( Norwegian Fjords). I know there are going to be 2 black tie nights. I just wanted to know if most people wore a Tux or dark suit and tie.? I do have other questions :D
