Sorry to jump in Selbourne but are you on our cruise on Britannia B317 or B318N? I am sure I have asked before but I think it was a long time ago. Andy is on the first one I think. Dai

The answer is yes If there are two people in a cabin with different loyalty levels then they can both go to any party/lunch the one on a higher tier gets an invite to. Two sister we know are Caribbean and Baltic so they go to 2 lunches each. 🙂 David63 has this one wrong. As long as you are in the same cabin you get the benefits of the higher one. Dai

On the other hand we love out and backs we have done 5 now with 2 more booked. Dai

Always an answer to scare stories.

I am totally shocked.😎 Never known such a thing. I hope you kept my name out of it. 😈😎😈

I am sure you can book these two restaurants on Iona as we did in March. Not sure why you cannot on Britannia.

Ta.

At Ocean that is correct only the seperation is by level. Upstairs is departures and downstairs is arrivals. But there are seperate doors. At Mayflower there is a large seperation at either end of the car drop off.

That looks very clear to me, where is that quote to be found?

What about all those who in the past have posted on here and other forum, "oh just turn up when you like, Thats what I do" These people are part of the problem.

Black and white night does not happen now. However on the ships where it did, the final formal night still feels like B&W night as all the ladies still wear B&W well certainly on Aorora and Ventura last year.

Hi Andy the theatre bookings have been available since last Thursday and the Limlight from Friday. I am assured by my better half who actually goes to the shows that the middle one 8.30 is usually fuller than the late on,10.30. It appears that that is all that caan be booked precruise. Unlike on the big ones when other restaurants can be booked. Are you packed yet? Our cases go on their holidays tomorrow with the BHC.

You do all realise that linking bookings together only gets you a table in the MDR. it in no way links anything else including cabins. So on Iona & Arvia there is no point at all in doing it.

The main problem for me on Aurora are the lack of automatic doors to get out on to the prom deck. The cabins are fine (accessible) and getting out on deck 12 for the pool and buffet are good as well. Getting out on deck 13 is a challenge. On Iona it was a breeze.

I think we both agree that Iona/Arvia are so much better than all the other ships for disability access. I had not noticed it so much before but the contrast was stark when getting off Aurora and going on to Iona.

I have never seen a cruise on P&O apart from the big 2 where there was not 2 formals per week. sometimes the name changes ????? but always 2 per week. I would always assume a mistake had been made in your position. Oh some long cruises 35 nights or more may have less than 2 per week. on ours we have had 9 per 35 and 7 per 35.

I would expect you will be given second sitting club dining. That is the one which seems to be least popular with first sitting the most popular.

When we use a suite if we want food we will pre order. If we dont then we have to expect a wait. That would be on any ship not just bthe big 2.

No one forces you to pay for a suite.

No its not!!!

Keel and cow breakfast was excellent.

Which is effectivly what happens now.

Quite ridiculous, If you book select you can opt for Club 1st or Club 2nd or freedom. If you book saver you can get freedom or club 2nd. asx the saver cuisers will be slotted in and as I have said what is popular on a cruise will determin what you get.

Once again Shhhhhhhh.

Wrong The most popular dining is club first sitting. It has been for some time. Freedom is next and then club dining second sitting. When we started cruising 22 years ago second sitting was most difficult to get. There was a change about 10 to 15 years ago, difficult to pin that one down. From my experience freedom is not the most favoured dining option and the proof is that so many people try to turn freedom into first sitting. Whatever you say is not up for discussion. Clearly you don’t like those facts as they do not fit your narrative.
