    I understand this new deal is not people's first choice but nowhere was any particular airline promised at time of booking a cruise. You can certainly understand why the Brits are known worldwide for moaning these days. If people genuinely want a relaxing and luxurious experience then why book P&O in the first instance? You pay for what you get these days and P&O are at the bottom of prices so understandably the days of flying BA or Virgin are long gone. Try and enjoy your 2 weeks in caribbean.

    You were doing well til you said P&O are at the bottom of the prices lol.... have you seen them on Arvia in January? Scandalous is what I call them currently.

    I’ve been (briefly) under the fitness centre, but on a Royal Caribbean ship. It was horrendous. We were directly below leg machines that banged and vibrated our room when they were released - all the time! The noise didn’t stop when the gym was closed, because the crew were able to use the gym when shut to the passengers. We went to Guest Services after one sleepless night and we were moved to another cabin, as soon as we told them our cabin number. It was obviously a well known problem.

    Ouch ! Thats horrible.

    Here’s someone who booked such a cabin and regretted it:

     

    “I agree that I would never try an upgrade to a mini-suite on a Jewel class ship because there are so many cabins you don't want to end up in. That being said, if you could choose your cabin anywhere on the starboard side under the spa, library, card room, salon, or photo gallery; and anywhere on the portside under the spa, those cabins, to me, are some of the best cabins on the ship.Just don't book under the fitness center!! Made that mistake once, and the pounding of feet on the treadmills at 6:00AM was not a welcome sound!!”

    We would never book a cabin under the fitness center, or any other noisy or potentially noisy public space. 

     

    As i suspected, a great help that thank you very much.

  4. Thanks all for this thread, we are pondering this cruise on Iona but holding our horses right now, there was a price drop on insides this week...maybe there will be one on balconies next week...we are happy cruising on either though to be honest.

     

    No idea they had changed itinerary though..not too bothered, we are off to Hamburg for the weekend tomorrow anyway, so its kind of worked out in our favour !

  5. We are on Explorer 2, July 16th 8 nights from Newcastle - Tui emailed us today saying Scottish ports have been removed from the itinerary and replaced with Dover, Portland and Holyhead.

     

    They have given every passenger £100 OBC as a sorry.

     

    To be honest, it doesnt bother us one bit, no idea what to spend the £100 on though as we  upgraded our AI already haha

  6. As the title says.. why is NCL online check in such a pain !! 

     

    It really is .. it doesn't like my address. It doesn't like my phone number. It doesn't like my flight details.. in fact i took those off eventually in sheer frustration ( and i think they only want them to upsell me a transfer anyway ! )

     

    It never used to be this way when we showed up at the pier with our passports - this is not progress !!!!
