    Good reviews from some of you on Elizabeth House. So am using for my Arcadia 24 nighter in September. £268 including parking. Not bad and cheaper than my usual, Holiday Inn. Hope it is ok.
  2. Fionboard
    Tromso OK though!
  3. Fionboard
    March, same views, different weather!

    Also just booked this cruise. Surprised at the price. Cheaper for 24 nights than my previous shorter cruises so far this year. Maybe not popular?

    Are we allowed to recommend insurers? Have found one whose premiums are really good if you have more serious conditions. Don't know if they are bona fide though!

    Have done 2 Aurora and 1 Arcadia this year and found staff, including waiters, had time to interact pleasantly. Less pax I suppose.

    For beaches Bus to Grand Anse, Grenada Taxi to Spice Club, Bonaire Share minibus to Carambola Beach Club, St Kitts ( or day trip to Nevis) Taxi to Boatyard (expensive and crowded) or Harbour Lights (cheaper and quieter) in Barbados More to Caribbean than great beaches though, especially if new to the area. Enjoy your trip.

    Just use the water in your bathroom. Same as everywhere else. Chill in fridge.

    Most places you can get a taxi to the beach for the day, or share a mini bus with others. They will come back and pick you up at a pre arranged time. Can recommend Sneaky Pete's beach bar on Antigua.

    Good excursion. Found long walk from visitor centre to caldera was not too strenuous and very enjoyable. Would not want to drive there though as the roads are pretty scary, particularly with coaches on them!

    Can recommend Holiday Inn at the port. Have used their cruise package over 50 times with no problems. Can usually see ship from bedroom window. Price varies depending on time of year. Parking not available during boat show though.
  12. Fionboard
    Not always the ship's fault. How often do you see people ashore who sit down at a bar, order food and eat with their hands without washing first. Always a good idea to visit the toilets first, not just to wash hands but to see what state they are in. Gives an idea of the state of the kitchen!

    First sitting on Aurora and Arcadia recently was still at 6.30. Was 6.00 on Aurora in March on Northern Lights cruise with 2nd at 8.00.

    Could see Ventura from my bedroom window, when I should have been on her to the Caribbean! Grrrrrr!
  15. Fionboard
    Yes, Covent Garden pubs open all hours for the market workers. Used to go for breakfast after leaving a club (when I was young!!)
  16. Fionboard
    Spoon would work! Never had peas for breakfast!
  17. Fionboard
    All could be easily loaded with a spoon (and quicker)! Not a problem anyway as I said I don't use buffet, prefer MDR.
  18. Fionboard
    Problem is that some people believe sanitiser works, so do not wash their hands. I personally avoid the buffet but if I did I would use cutlery to load my plate instead of tongs.
  19. Fionboard
    Sanitiser does not kill virus. Hand washing does!
  20. Fionboard
    MDR on Oriana was pretty shakey too!
  21. Fionboard
    Arcadia had a pop up Glasshouse on 14 May cruise. Only on sea days and only for lunch. In Intermezzo outside Ocean Grill. Very nice but they had to stop it once Noro took hold.
  22. Fionboard
    C Deck is best. Huge balcony and standard cabin.
  23. Fionboard
    Like Morocco, could smell it from the ship.
  24. Fionboard
    Like these cabins but cannot see the TVs without my long distance specs! Wonder when they are going to upgrade them?!

    New sun loungers for pool came on last month.
