YORKI1

Thank you all for your help.

From the pictures I have seen and what visitors/locals say Dominica looks like a beautiful island, although not very developed. I am looking forward to seeing the island for myself.

This is my first P&O cruise, normally Royal C and I am surprised how reasonable the tour prices are. I have compared a few local firms with P&O and have decided to do Dominica's Favourite's ship excursion, its 4.5 hours long and costs £42. A similar tour with a local firm is £50, although it is 1.5 hours shorter.

We will be arriving on Monday 30 December 2013.

Roseau appears to be the main port on Dominica, although I have seen a review that stated the Azure docked / tendered about 30 miles from Roseau.

Can anyone enlighten me as to where the Azura normally docks / tenders.

Thank you.

Yup, we leave them on. They are pretty low anyway.

 

As a slight aside.......I noticed one online agent ( name refers to an eskimo's house) who on all cruise price pages states 'Tips are added to your account but you can take them off'. They also said that to me when I got a phone quote. Now I think that is immoral. Yes, take them off if youve had bad service or want to tip directly but not to save money.

You think that is wrong. I phoned P&O with a query about a cruise I was interested in and during the conversation the lady at P&O told me I could save money by removing the tips! I was astonished.

I have cruised about 10 times, never with P&O and always leave the tips on.

Does anyone know if the flight from Gatwick on the 28 December 2013 to Barbados for a 14 night cruise on the Azura is a Dreamliner or a 767? Also, is there just 1 flight from Gatwick?

Thank you.
