So you are on Iona during the school summer holidays. 😈 Be afraid be very afraid. 😈 Gan Canny Dai. 😎 😎 😎

Exactly what I am saying as far as I can see, reading other lines pages and on others forum all US companies have to honour price drops before final payment. Only it is not automatic. You have to ask.

Princess have T shirts with their regular cruses on.I have one. P&O have only recently repeated the same itineraries for a season as with Iona. But tend not to with other ships , Aurora, Arcadia Ventura.

They do if they are based in the US as it is the law in that country it is not in the UK.

Why? The US companies do it because they have to, US law, not out of the goodness of their hearts. This has been the case for years.

Have your read the thread and the post you are replying to. You are missing the point completely. It is the effect on suite passengers and upper tier passengers who will not be happy. Not on the embarkation process.

So it’s a long time since you cruised John. 😊 They are now Peninsular parties. 😊. They are only for Mediterranean and above. Gan Canny Dai

For us, any differences have not impacted at all on our cruising experience at all so we are happy bunnies with lower prices.

You clearly mistake the staffing problems, which affected many cruise lines and hospitality on shore with drop in standards. We have had 10 cruises since the lockdown and we have seen the improvements cruise by cruise. The food on Aurora at Christmas was good and on Iona at Easter even better. On Britannia the standard has been maintained and sometimes bettered. Last nights dinner was slow cooked beef and was wonderful. It came with 3 veg. but unfortunately no green beans.

Dont be silly of course we can criticise those who just do as they please. They cause problems for others.

Its always been a problem with those who felt the rules did not appertain to them. Not helped by people on here saying ignor the time you are given and turn up when you like.

More will be happy if they turn up when asked and get straight on. Far too many excuses for people to arrive when they want because they feel it is their entitlement.

Not at all they fit them into sea days. Standard practice. Do not understand your objection.

I was going to say that I read you post then went out to find them all working. I thought you were a magician. .

We have had very good meals in the MDR over these 2 cruises. Including one night having a starter, a soup, a fish course, a main dish and cheese. I could not manage a sweet as well. 😎. So it can still be done. 😎

Sindhu was spot on last night 4 of us had an excellent meal.

Are you on the ship now?

She is excellent, she is from Sweden. Wonderful voice. On here till September.

I am sure we have 5 as well. There is one under the dressing table. I keep looking for a gent pushing his wife around. Never seen you yet. We are by the Glasshouse bay from 7.00 most evenings certainly tonight. Sindhu tomorrow drinkies in the bar at the front of the restaurant.

I would eat it raw. And cooked. 😎

I hope we find each other sooner than we found Andy and Michelle. Glasshouse bar 19.00 till 20.30 Casino from 22.30. 😎

I can confirm Andy and Michelle do exist. Gan Canny Dai

I was very dry. Its like that in the crows nest

Hi Andy Look out for us I am on a gray scooter and have a bright red cap on. Limelight tonight. But gererally in glasshouse between 7 and 8.30. Or in the Casino 22.30 till late. :) Gan canny Dai
