On our recent Aurora cruise I asked reception and they said the average age on our cruise was 72.  I realise that adult only ships will have an older clientele, and family friendly ones will be lower, especially during school holidays, however our experience on these outside school holidays is that P&O have a much older age profile than either Celebrity or Princess, and way older than RCI, all of these my observations on out of school holiday Southampton sailings over the past 8/9 years. 

terrirjohn , your are again quoting a member of reception staff, on a single cruise, on an adult-only ship!  Your personal observations of each cruise line may be correct as you perceive it, but these are not 'facts' and should not be presented as so (which incidentally, I do not think you were attempting to do in your above message 😉 )

Thank you all, that’s really useful information. I must admit I am looking forward to relaxing the moment we board the coach.

Hi everyone,

We usually drive to Southampton from the Midlands, but this year we’re having a change and have decided to go by coach arranged through P & O. We’ll be leaving from Hilton Park services on the M6. 

Niw, as a self-confessed control freak 😀 I’m a bit dubious about going by coach.

So can you lovely people give me some reassurance that coach is the way to go? What time is pick up and arrival usually (we cruise in July), are the coaches good and with air con? There are four of us travelling, is there usually any problem getting seats together? If you have any pictures of inside and outside of the coach I’d really appreciate it.

Yes I know it’s a first world problem,  but I look forward to your comments.

Thank you!

We have just returned from a mini-suite (superior deluxe on P&O) on Emerald Princess. Interconnecting doors have been retrofitted on this ship too.

You can certainly hear next door (although our neighbours weren't noisy), and when balcony doors are open air rushes between the door frame and sounds like someone drying their hair next door.

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if cabin E731 (mini-suite) on Emerald Princess has a bath as well as a shower?

Thanks in advance
