  1. Does the above mean you joined the Coral MDR at 7.17 with 3 guests in front of you in the queue but you weren’t called till 8.44
  2. Agree. Let’s hope P&O also get more staff to help the restaurants run smoothly.
  3. Can you confirm which times you can book. Is it only early times. If so this would not cause so many problems. It is wrong if people don’t cancel but I would assume they use the 15 minute rule as per the “app”.
  4. On this site https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/149-other-mediterranean-ports/
  5. No muster drill. On boarding you are directed to your muster station where you register with your cruise card. You then watch the information on your cabin tv.
  6. Good insurance policies give you the medical covid cover that P&O want. You do not need to take out the extra missed ports, confined to cabin cover.
  7. This no longer needs to be completed.
  8. Not cruise specific, just that your insurance covers cruises as do most insurances. You can often get extra cruise cover which covers missed ports etc but it is a choice to have it. I agree they rarely ask for proof.
  9. Have you checked your condensate pipe https://boilerhut.co.uk/what-is-a-condensate-pipe/
  10. The picture is returned to the onland gallery and it is processed through there.
  11. You don’t import it. It is delivered to your home address.
  12. On another site people on other months on Iona have confirmed their excursion has been cancelled.
  13. January 18, 2023 10:30 AM EST Carnival Corporation Expands Next-Generation Wi-Fi Connectivity with SpaceX's Starlink New agreement with satellite technology leader Starlink set to transform guest and crew connectivity experience with faster and greater capacity to ships, beginning with the company's Carnival Cruise Line and AIDA Cruises brands As part of its ongoing strategy, world's largest cruise company has nearly tripled fleetwide bandwidth and continues to enhanceconnectivity as part of its focus to provide guests and crew across its world-class cruisebrands with the best available Wi-Fi experience at sea MIAMI, Jan. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CarnivalCorporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK), the world's largest cruise company, today announced an agreement for the next-generation of internet connectivity across its global fleet, the latest in a series of moves that have nearly tripled ship bandwidth since 2019. The company has signed a new agreement with SpaceX's Starlink, the leader in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite technology, to provide faster service, greater capacity and more reliable Wi-Fi on a global scale. Fleet roll-out of Starlink began in December 2022 with Carnival Cruise Line and AIDA Cruises ships, with plans to expand Starlink to several of the company's other world-class cruise brands, which include Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, P&O Cruises (Australia), Costa Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK) and Cunard. Rivaling on-land connectivity experiences, Starlink greatly advances Carnival Corporation's focus on providing the best available Wi-Fi experience for its guests to stay connected while on vacation, including sharing photos and videos, streaming movies and live sporting events, and enjoying other content onboard with a reliable connection at even faster speeds. "For many of our guests, it has become more and more important to maintain the type of connectivity at sea that they've become accustomed to at home, and of course to share the unforgettable experiences of their cruise with friends and family," said Josh Weinstein, CEO of Carnival Corporation. "We are in the business of delivering happiness, and Starlink makes it as easy as possible for our guests to share all their great moments and memories, giving them even more joy out of their cruise vacation." According to Weinstein, "The added bandwidth will give the brands the capabilities and flexibility to introduce new guest services and features, as well as help boost operational functions like onboard equipment monitoring and real-time communications between ship and shore teams. And importantly, adding Starlink's innovative technology to the company's existing connectivity platform will also help our amazing crew stay in touch with friends and loved ones." "High-speed, low-latency broadband internet is critical in our modern age, and we're excited to provide Carnival Cruise Line and AIDA's guests an internet experience that makes their travel even more enjoyable," said Jonathan Hofeller, vice president of Starlink sales for SpaceX. "In even the most remote waters, guests onboard Carnival Corporation ships will be able to share real-time updates with friends and family." Starlink agreement advances Carnival Corporation's connectivity leadership strategy Starlink joins a growing portfolio of world-classcommunications service, satellite and other technology providers that make up Carnival Corporation's industry-leading, fleetwide connectivity ecosystem. As a global cruise company with nearly 100 ships visiting over 700 ports worldwide, Carnival Corporation's innovative, multi-provider connectivity framework is designed to strategically route internet traffic to optimize network speeds across its fleet anywhere in the world.
  14. The front forwarding Crows Nest bar on Aurora is lovely and the ship will be quieter. The balcony cabins have settees. If you are going for a balcony some of those on Aurora are cut out of the side of the ship and only one deck has modern balconies. On Ventura deck C balconies are larger and the ship is more modern. Google photos.
  15. I think my edit might have been done the same time as your post. Have you tried contacting the official site to get confirmation. There is no mention of 2011 anywhere. I take this to mean that if you visited after 12/1/21 when it was decared a State sponsor of Terrorism then there would be a problem and this is the official site.

  16. It definately says in the bottom right two questions 2021 When was Cuba designated a State Sponsor of Terrorism? The United States Department of State most recently designated Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism on January 12, 2021. How does Cuba’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism impact my travel to the United States using my approved ESTA? If a traveler is found to have visited a country designated as State Sponsor of Terrorism, the traveler is no longer eligible to participate in the Visa Wavier Program and must apply for a visa to enter the United States. I take this to mean that if you visited after 12/1/21 when it was decared a State sponsor of Terrorism then there would be a problem and this is the official site.
  17. See this, bottom right two questions https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/faq?lang=en&focusedTopic=About ESTA and The Visa Waiver Program&answerToDisplay=How does Cuba’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism impact my travel to the United States using my approved ESTA%3F
  18. The Princess drinks package etc is much more reasonable deal than P&O and they don’t have this trouble. As I mentioned before I don’t think the trouble is due to a drink package as prices are reasonable on P&O, more to the price of the cabins. Especially at the later dates nearer the cruise.
  19. Yes you are able to order two things from the same part of the menu. The way it is printed is obviously meant to dissuade you from doing this but you can order whatever you like.
  20. Not supplied on my last cruise but if you ask they will provide and change every day.
