It's not the fuel that is the problem, its the exhaust fumes, Carnival and NCL have already fitted new exhust systems on their ships to run within the 0.1 limit , others, presumably are doing this as well.

I don't think we have ever had a boarding time when on a fly cruise, so many factors to influence the time you get to the ship .

Our form was checked at Gatwick before we flew out, not sure what happens if you cruise from Southampton, guess it will be arranged on board or nobody would be able to get off.

We got back off Britannia last week, all you have to do when you return to Barbados is pop along to the live lounge with your passport and cruise card

Thanks Bulls, have just spoken to a very apologetic P&O lady who told me, yes is has been sent out by mistake . We have our antigen booked with lloyds pharmacy for Wed.

We have just had an email from p&o telling us that we now need to have a pcr test before flying to Barbados, and then a antigen test at Gatwick. We are flying on the 4th Nov so seems a bit last minute. Has anyone else got this or is it a scam, email seemed genuine.

Have a question from Mrs Chippy to anyone on board, do you know if there are Zumba classes ? We are on the Nov 4 sailing from Barbados. Thanks

Usually as soon as the flight details have been confirmed, this is normally 14 weeks before travelling. We are down to 10 weeks so a bit late in being notified.

We are on Britannia Nov 4th, spoke to an actual person yesterday as had not received flight details. They are hoping to have Caribbean flights sorted out by the end of the month, will wait and see.

Just a quick question, did you fly on a chartered flight, as I was wondering if the routine at Malta is the same as Barbados, where you bypass customs and go straight to the ship from the airport.

A-Z guide up to date now, no PLF needed for Malta or Italy.
