Bin man

I had a similar problem although I moved my two cruises for this year to 23/24 but now my coltis is now covered I had to declare that my heart rate was high and waiting for ecocardigram to see if there was anything wrong .They rang the underwriters and suspended my yearly cover till I got results supposed to refund me £3.61 .I have now informed them of no further investigation required from results and charged me £28 extra for the colitis cover which I guess is fair enough Now looking to book again but you are always wondering if you needed them would they try and get out of paying up .

Looks like she is going to Invergordon next call

See Arcadia using 5 tenders and noticed the World is docked in Leith

See Britannia passengers 3133 crew 1336 about 500 off full passenger capacity and only 14 crew short so not bad one would think.

Yes but this is not the same as the iona trial as there was no testing involved as I saw it

Noticed price reductions on a particular cruise in October 22 Saver price reduced another £600 now £1100 cheaper then the balcony price for select . So with £660 obc plus parking say £140 making £800 so it costs £300 to choose cabin - previous saver price was only £500 cheaper .Why they don't just reduce the select price £300 and they may get more takers .Now that the testing has been slightly changed people might be more prone to book if the select price was more competitive any thoughts

Never had the chance to cruise with our boy when he was young but would gave had him with us in the MDR dressed smart and would have loved it

Thankyou for quick reply .I wonder if herd immunity will ever come into it and let everyone just mingle

Were all these people tested on declaration of symptoms or were they put into isolation incase of developing covid ?

I have just checked the green house cucumbers needed more water doing well but tomatoes look as if they have had it 115 degrees

Re looking at the uptodate policy it does say 2nd test for 5_11 year olds done at terminal .May be P and O are covering themselves for the adults who may think they still had the drive through facilities in place or testing at terminal .Hope someone with children can comment for you to confirm

Wish I could help.Have you done the first one today? for her showing negative. I am as confused as you are hope someone can help .I guess she has not had vaccination so the p and o states 2 tests as you say one today and one at terminal tomorrow if not vaccinated, but text seems to imply no facilities for testing. Hope someone can help .

High Megabear being following your demise and your comments on the epic. Went into the gov site to read up on the latest as I have one at the moment noticed it talked about applying for a temporary PRC if you couldn't produce yours .Would that not help in your Aunts case ? Other people can apply on behalf of other person don't know if that helps don't know myself if I'm talking rubbish !

It was on the ytube Southampton vts on sailing day announced by vts and reported on the chat

1036 passengers on the cruise seems rather low .

I guess this latest promotion is why they have sent some people some extra obc on booked cruises to keep them happy but nit all

See they have now updated the front page offer which ends 22nd August 22

Yes I new that they would do that to try and entice you into select price .We tracked iona October gone up Approx £150 but obc now £660 .Why don't they just reduce the select price .They haven't even changed the first page of their site still shows last offer .

Didn't realise untill I read the small print the money off offer ending 4th July is on early saver price, so will be interesting what they come up with next with all this obc floating about .

I do a dummy booking on select and look at what's available picking a cabin .Takes time because you have to pick each section and deck to show what's available on that particular part of the ship

Was amazed how many cabins remain unsold on Arvias maiden voyage, but the price is also amazingly high .Lost count on the number of empty cabins

17% drop in shareprice today 2.7 million shares traded average 1.4 million not looking good .

They usually reply back to you that it has been actioned . Last year I was talking with my TA and she said she could see it had been added if that helps

Will we have to apply for a 3 year ETIAS from January 2023 before we cruise to Europe?

I worked in retail for 38 years not always top pay but used my money wisely . After the company folded in 2009 between us our income today is the same as then and don't have to work for it .Allowing for inflation guess its less .Not sure how you work out £10 per hour equates to 30k per year .You would have to spend a lot of money in your firm to get discounts to bring it upto £30k and overtime is not quarateed especially when times are hard in retail
