  1. So rude and antisocial. For goodness sake at least switch them off at meal times and TALK to each other!
  2. Cannot see my phone screen in the sun!
  3. Worst ever disembarkation yesterday. Used QE2 Terminal. Total chaos. No organization on board. Never seen queues so big. Terrible design. Understaffed, poor signage. Am usually on the road by about 9.30. Yesterday it was 11.30. And that was with a small ship!
  4. Think they already have those on Iona. Was told by a waiter that a lot of the food is pre-prepared before being loaded onto the ship, then just reheated !
  5. It is used on Britannia as well as the big ones. Not necessary on the rest.
  6. And they will probably end up in the sea!
  7. On Arcadia now. Dining at 6.30 and 8.30 as per usual. Only ever had different time as I said, on Aurora in March. Northern lights cruise may be the reason for that perhaps.
  8. Strange. Mine were signed by my waiters (fixed dining). Maybe you were on freedom dining?
  9. On Aurora in April dining was 6.30 and 8.30. In March it was 6 and 8. Don't know why.
  10. Lobster in Boston pretty good. Some of the ones on P&O look smaller than actually legal to catch. Should throw them back in the sea!
  11. For heaven's sake lets drop the argument re big or small ships. There is something for everyone whatever your budget or preferred type of cruising. Good job or we would all be in the same (very large) boat!
  12. Menus were given out on Ventura pre covid.
  13. Have the app on the smaller ships too, but it is superfluous on those as they can manage the numbers on board with no need for pre booking everything 😂
  14. Notice the use of "we" a lot. Cruising solo is a different experience and much more suited to smaller, friendlier ships. Nothing to do with technology, just the overall ambience created by smaller passenger numbers on board.
  15. If P&O depend on younger pax (who work) and families, they will come unstuck when trying to fill the mega ships during term time, winter, etc. We "oldies" are the ones with the funds, and time, to cruise all year round. Dismiss us at your peril!
  16. Only one special drinks event I have seen was on Britannia many years ago for Baltic and Ligurian only. Did not even get Peninsular cocktail party on this Arcadia cruise due to norovirus, just one free drink voucher.
  17. On Arcadia now. No photographers.
  18. Have not recieved a proper survey for any of my 13 cruises since covid. Only the feefo star rating one.
  19. Lovely turkey last night but sprouts and broccoli like bullets!
  20. Green beans replaced by snow peas now!
  21. You seem to be relatively new to this forum. I have always found it to be fairly positive, informative and balanced with posts about all the different types of ship. A bit confrontational at times, but on the whole friendly and useful. Don't stop posting just because some of us have different opinions. That's what forums are about.
