I agree that the best time to go up on the skylift is in the afternoon. We got to the top at around 2pm and the clouds were starting to lift. By around 3pm, this is the view we got.

The shuttle bus goes to and from the port throughout the day and it's only a 10 minute drive.

Just to confirm we also booked both through Olden Adventure. We did the Glacier Walk.

There was plenty of time to do both. When we got back to port after the glacier (at about 1pm) there was a shuttle bus waiting to take take us to the skylift. It was running there and back all afternoon.

We spent about an hour at the top and we were back at the port by 3pm.

I have the 1:30 pm trip to the glacier booked (via P&O), so it sounds like it could be possible to do the morning at the Skylift. 

How much time would you recommend at the top?

Is it possible to visit the Briksdal Glacier & Loen Skylift in Olden, on the same day before all aboard (around 5pm)?

If not, which do people recommend that I should do?

I've been scrolling through this forum but can't seem to find an answer to this. 

On Celebration Nights, is it possible to wear a smart shirt with a nice jumper, suit trousers and shoes?

But it isn't actually costing you anything so therefore is free... You could say the money they are giving you is free money - whatever you decide to use it on.

I could have saved £150 per person by choosing the 'Saver' price rather than the 'Select' price. I chose the Select for the parking. 

I booked directly with P&O.

I'm presuming if there's no availability left, they may be able to change my Select Price benefit back to extra onboard spend?

Think you might be having problems because it is within 35 days. If you booked within 45 days contact whoever you booked with your TA or direct with P&O.

Not sure if anyone else is having a similar problem, but I can't seem to book my parking space due to a discrepancy between P&O and cruiseparking.co.uk. 

On my P&O booking reference, it says parking must be booked a minimum of 10 days before your departure date, whereas on the cruiseparking.co.uk website, it says this must be done 35 days prior to sailing. 

I booked my cruise fairly close to departure (with less than 35 days to go) so surely they wouldn't be offering this benefit if it couldn't be used?

Does anybody know if P&O's ship Iona offers activities such as pool tables, games rooms, arcades, etc.

I've recently disembarked a cruise with Norwegian which had a lot of these activities and they helped to break up the day.
