Please can anyone recommend a nice beach near the cruise port? Happy with 10 mins or so in a taxi. Done an island tour before so now just looking for a nice beach with loungers and a bar please. 

Please can anyone recommend a beach not too far from the cruise port terminal. Happy for a 10 min taxi ride or similar. Have done a tour of Bonaire previously so now just looking for a nice beach with loungers and a bar please. 

Just wondering if anyone is on Britannia on 27th January from Manchester? Wondering what time the flight is, departure terminal and airline please?? Looking to book but need this information first. Thanks

I think that is what @carlanthony24 was saying, both airlines are still doing Manchester flights.

Thanks for that. Do you know which day Friday or Saturday and to which ship?

Just TUI and Maleth Aero

Thanks but I knew that. I was wondering if any Manchester flights are still scheduled with TUI as we haven’t booked yet and this might help to decide which cruise to choose. 

Just wondering if any flights from Manchester to the Caribbean this winter to join either ship are still scheduled to be on a TUI aircraft or are they all Maleth Aero now?

110278 - Promenade

 

This is the space from both directions.  

 

 

Thanks so much for this. Really helpful 

 

 

I can only see my booking in the app?

Does anyone know what the large white oblong shape is behind the lifeboats on the deck plan under cabins 6267 to 6277 ? Also the small white areas just before access to Eden?

Is there anywhere to find examples of the daily activities available on board the Edge especially on sea days??

Just wondering if anyone has cruised from Hawaii to Vancouver in May and can tell me what the weather/ temperatures may be like please as it’s a long time at sea! Thank you 

I’m booked on the Edge Hawaiian transpacific cruise in April. Has anyone got a Hawaiian cruise booked that’s had the itinerary changed due to the fires? Just wondering if it was changed to another Island or a sea day

I’m not bothered about port or starboard for the cruise round the oslands but would like evening sun on the Hawaii to Vancouver crossing. Can anyone advise please?

Sailing from Singapore to Thailand and Vietnam and ending in Hong Kong would you choose port or starboard and why??

I wonder if anyone can give me any information on the ships overnight tours to Bangkok? Wondering the cost and what is included and also if there are a few trip options?

Just wondering which hotels are near the berth Iona sails from in Southampton?  What are the ones you would recommend??

Just wondering if you were going to book a balcony on Iona on a fjords cruise would you choose port or starboard and why?

Pre-covid, no one was allowed to roam in a secure port area.   Quite often ships need to take on stores, etc and there are multiple lorries, fork lifts etc, not just for the cruise ship but for commercial shipping.   Most ports sadly aren't equipped with large terminals and air bridges like Southampton.

 

Scotland is due for an update on 9th August, so it may be that cruise ships now visiting there - Greenock, the four Firth of Forth ports / anchorages, Invergordon, Kirkwall, Dundee, Aberdeen and Lerwick - things may be different after then, which will allow independent passengers, but I think most of the cruise lines currently operating in the UK are keeping things tight to prove they can operate safely.

 

Sorry it was the Caribbean ports in particular but I meant the secure area that only cruise passengers can get to where the shops and bars are.

I believe that you can use your onboard credit to pay part of the drinks package cost, however your 7.5% discount, mine is 10% does not apply until after you have used up your onboard credit.

Thanks so we pay the OBC then get 7.5% off the remaining balance. I understand thanks

I understand that you have to go on ship excursions to get off the ship. Does anyone know if you are allowed off the ship just in the port secure area?? Or when the trip returns can you stay in the port area before boarding again?  Seems strange when you can go on a trip and have free time at the beach etc!

Just wondering if you can use your OBC and loyalty discount against the cost of a drinks package. Currently we get 7.5% discount of drinks so does this come off the cost of a package??

Does anyone know yet what the dining options are on Arvia? Is it all freedom dining or are there still the two sittings? Also wondering which restaurants can be used without extra fees to pay?

Just wondering when the flights will be in your cruise personalised for Jan 22. Anyone know theirs yet??

Thanks everyone

Hi, We flew back from Barbados with TUI on Friday 10th January, we had a main meal and either afternoon tea or breakfast included, with the main meal we had the option of wine or juice, followed by tea/coffee, there was at least 1 drinks service on the return and I think it was 2 on the way out, there was beer, wine, shorts with mixers and pop all included.

Thanks for that. Hope you enjoyed the cruise
