Personally we always felt the Glasshouse on Ventura was the best till we saw Azura. The outdoor cinema/TV is a nice feature to.

Sounds like Travel Blog Jamie. I think a few of us discussed about him previously.

Ben & David they complain about P&O a lot according to other vloggers especially when they were on Arvia. They were unhappy with the balcony even though they mentioned they paid a saver fare they surely knew they could have been given the cabin on the prom deck. It could have been the plan all along hoping to get one of them cabins so they can get more views and clicks. To balance it Emma had one of them and she quite enjoyed it.

Like YorkshirePhil people just like to complain you can read some reviews on one review site which is monitored by P&O but is not the official one plus anyone can write a review compared to the one they send a link for you get a good laugh at some of them. Especially the ones who seem to just constantly write one star reviews to a load of different companies. For me and the family it is cheap, we feel the service is fine, love the way they operate the fly cruises etc. Menus are repetitive but even though I am a fussy eater always something I can have. Food never been a problem we are glad themed buffet nights have made a return though. We don't bother looking for problems. In the cruises we have done I believe we have complained three times and have received compensation which we never expect too. One to do with the bar waiter insisting he got drinks correct even though he had written down what we had asked and kept saying don't report me. Manager gave us a bottle of wine and chocolates, reported a cabin steward when they complained about the tips we gave him and told us is that it, we were told this was not the first time that the same cabin steward had done this. We were given a massive hamper which turned up at the house, never told this was going to happen and the other time when they use to sell cigarettes in Brodies/The Exchange they would not serve me even though I was over the age of 18. I took my ID and my dad came along they still refused so went to reception who scanned a copy of the driving license and told the staff they need to serve me and would be retrained.

Tom & Dom Travel?

How would it be a cutback if it’s not finished? You would think P&O would want it back up ASAP I presume it makes them a lot of money.

Honestly first time I flew SOU-MAN being on a prop was a bit nerve racking but was really enjoyable, comfy to

With the runway extension they would have no trouble more likely limited by weight. EasyJet take the A320 in though. I remember Flybe before the first one went bust they put out a tweet rumoring they were going to be getting 737's. We actually may end up having Flybe 3.0 but they have called themselves beregional, currently We're assessing demand for a future UK regional airline showing a Dash 8 with an ex Flybe reg G-JECP

Charlie Carr and his wife were lovely use to love his daily announcements, always seen around the ship talking to people and the crew. RIP Charlie Carr.

Computer automatically does it, then alerts finance manager who in turn sends out letters and tells us who has problems. Not sure on the last part so can’t help with that.

Message would be left on the system to attend reception and usually if they had a problem even though they may say they have the funds available for instance but because the merchant thinks when the money taken since it flags up it was taken in Dubai for instance they may have blocked the card to stop fraudulent activity. Use to happen quite a bit even though the card each day was a pre auth the final night it would deny the transaction. In hindsight we just took some details made sure they signed, they had a copy and we sent a copy to head office so it can be chased up when home then they were allowed to leave.

We used Virgin and Amex last year Balance showed then disappeared a day of two later with another balance showing next day then disappearing again.

Don't fuel stations even set a pre-authorisation of up to £100 now which incidentally some can fall off immediately or even after a few days. Also to oceanlad It's not just P&O other lines do the same. RCL say some can take 5-7 days with other cards up to 45 days and also say they do not have control and blame the bank.

Manchester certainly allow to check in luggage day before if on a scheduled flight

Good to hear.

Just showing the passport will be fine. P&O reps will be waiting with any queries etc.

Honestly I found the crew canteen not to my liking that much. Mostly found it catered for the Indian/Philippine crew. It did have some British food like burgers, fish, chicken curry but repeated often. It was just better going up to the buffet or a specialty restaurant most days.

Transfers from Tenerife South Airport to the port were fine takes about 45 minutes. Cases come on the coach with you then delivered to the cabin. We personally get off the ship on the overnight stay and enjoy going to an Indian restaurant just across from where you are docked unless we are going home then we go the MDR for the last night. Returning home leave cases outside the cabin night before next see them back in the UK that is if you are flying Jet2/TUI once you arrive at the airport you can go straight through security since they check you in onboard. any other airline you collect cases in the terminal building then proceed to a check in desk at the airport. Madeira is a late sail same with Gran Canaria.

We were told it was to do with the satellite position and where the ship was docked behind a mountain. On one of the days it was working then later on stopped and mentioned about the position etc.

Definitely some interesting things. People complaining about wifi having to be turned off when we diverted to Saudia Arabia. We could not take photos but the pilot could😂. A women being topless who did not like being told to cover up tried asking the captain for permission to be topless. Immigration use to hate. Nearly leaving a couple of guests behind who apparently could see the captain laughing from the bridge and did not like the horn going off and people clapping and cheering.

Reception.

Last picture someone showed that Oceana had fire damage at the rear mooring deck.

I wouldn't be surprised if they go to scrapyard. Oceana was only positioned to Astakos after being laid up since she was sent to new owners. Loved working on her, Go fund me needed.

Seems a lot better than it was on Azura at least its near the cable car station again.
