That, spelling error🤔

It is my understanding thet you have to have an account, nationwide flex plus and a monthly fee of £13 which also gives you vehicle breakdown and mobile phone cover, we have changed our packaged account to this one

Would just like to also confirm that I commented on my op regarding long travel insurance and to thank people for their generous assistance, now got the same insurance albeit as we are considerably younger than the ages Jean has mentioned, nice to know that should we reach the ages quoted and we still are able to cruise we will not have to worry about insurance👍

Long cruise travel insurance
gsmt47471015 replied to gsmt47471015's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Thank you to all the lovely people who responded to my original question, I have spoken to a few companies and have opened an account with Nationwide ( been meaning to do it for a long time) and they have confirmed that their insurance can be extended to cover the world cruise, they were also the most helpful and informative when speaking to them. As others have suggested to this post speaking to companies gets more response and information than online searching, hopefully that's another item dealt with so once again many thanks and shows the value of using these boards to utilize other peoples knowledge 😊👍 -
Certainly has been for me!

Long cruise travel insurance
gsmt47471015 replied to gsmt47471015's topic in Cruise/Travel Insurance
Thanks , I have tried to find info on this account on line ,but the insurance information states that no more than 90 nights can be covered , I believe this to be incorrect and have managed to obtain a contact telephone number which I will try in the morning 👍 -
Long cruise travel insurance

Thanks , no I have not called any of the companies, but may have to as some of the websites are very contradictory 😔 -
I have been looking into cruise insurance for the 2024 world cruise and am having difficulty receiving quotes for any more than ninety day's which is also the limit my current insurer covers with a paid extension. I have tried some comparison sites but they too appear to have time restrictions which will not be sufficient to cover the cruise. I am sure many previous world cruisers have overcome this issue and would be pleased if they would point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance🙂

We saw the real Frankie Valli perform last year , I believe he's touching ninety and he couldn't move very well but boy oh boy he hit every note, Though I doubt we will see him on a cruise ship😄

If you like Azamara then P and O may be a little below those standards for you ( done both) ,of course there is a sizable price difference and it shows, you wont know until you try it, however just be prepared for a little less oomph!!! Personal opinion of course 🙂

Arcadia & Aurora Cosmetic Upgrades...(Not Make-Up 😄)
gsmt47471015 replied to Britboys's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
The only draughts we encountered were from the a/c, tbh we are not overly confident that our 2024 world cruise on her will be any warmer , even allowing for a lot of the warm weather destinations we will be visiting -

gsmt47471015 replied to Britboys's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
We found the ship to be in good general condition, ( one or two public toilets' had intermittent problems) but the whole ship felt cold ,and despite requests to have the temperature reviewed it did not get any better , the crows nest was the worst venue, however others were less than comfortable to sit in, perhaps this why the ship felt like the Mary Celeste on a lot of evenings -

gsmt47471015 replied to Britboys's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
According to a reply I received from P and O regarding the overzealous use of the a/c on Arcadia they informed me that it was working correctly and at the correct temperature, and also they had had no other complaints about it. From comments on these boards I find it difficult to believe their reply🥶 -
Potentially a new P&O Customer

From our experiences on Arcadia shorts would be the last thing I would wear on an evening ,more like a thick jumper !!!!🥶 -

£7,901 for two on the world cruise !!! Try getting your moneys worth out of that, although I accept it includes soft drinks and specialty coffee etc. Were not big drinkers of any type (beer, specialty coffee ,soft drinks) but enjoy a couple of glasses of wine before the evening and with our meal and sometimes a short to finish off the evening, and are considering taking the package on our upcoming 14 night cruise to see how it works, once again personal choice -
Same for us, even ended up on an eight once, what difference does it make?😊

Or maybe I am confusing it with the peninsular lunch ?

Not 100% but I think that applies to Caribbean tier?

Just had 65 nights on Aurora and had a front facing window cabin overlooking the bow , absolutely loved it and would have the same again on her, actually we HAVE booked a similar cabin on her 2025 Amazon cruise . It was by no means small (not porthole size) and gave oodles of natural light, once again though personal choice

I would agree with the majority of what mike x ftc has said and would confirm that the ship does feel cold and despite numerous requests it never appeared to warm up , the crows nest was, for the most of our month long cruise, too cold to use and we spent a considerable amount of time walking around various venues to find the warmest. On our return I raised the issue with guest relations as we are due to go on the 2024 world cruise on her , the reply was not exactly reassuring and having just returned from a long cruise on Aurora would much prefer her

We came off a 65 night cruise last week on Aurora with £2.25 unspent OBC , we also came off a HAL cruise and they owed us $100 , to our amazement they paid it back into our bank account !!!! Never have been able to work that one out?

Iona Celebration Night for fussy eaters!
gsmt47471015 replied to gteach's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
Personal choice of course , but we ate in the glass house on the black tie nights on our recent aurora cruise as the menu on those nights were not to our liking🍴 -
Will be interested to see what you thought of Triptonic, saw them once and then avoided them on our next two cruises, personal choice of course😃
