Thankyou so much for all your brilliant advice. happy cruising all x 

Hello looking for advice please 

we are going to book a balcony cabin on Azura and wondered which deck may be the best?  I understand c deck offers larger balconies however A and B decks balconies and not overlooked. Any tips about balconies and the ship in general would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello. We are booking on Azura never sailed on this liner before. Does anyone have any tips. We are thinking about balcony cabin in A B or C deck. Any advice welcomed. 

Thanks will try this 

sorry but can't seem to post on the p&o forum its only wants me to create a pol?  sorry new to this 

Please can anyone give advice on the balcony cabins on Azura decks A, B and C   I believe some are overlooked and others a different size etc. 

Any advice appreciated 

Can you please advise of the difference in balconies on cabins A,  B and  deck. I believe some are overlooked and some not. 

Thank you for all your replys, think the problem is i have too many nice dresses, there not the heavy ones, but just need to scale down to taking a few. good to hear too nice trousers and tops can be worn on non formal nights. hubby says do the men where tucks on formal or mainly suits?

Tips please on how to scale down luggage on a 2 week cruise, evening dresses alone weigh so much.

thanks for your replys. Not sure i dare post my email to be publicly seen :eek:

Another member and myself would like to contact each other without displaying our emails publicly, how do we go about doing this?

Euro-cruiser, I don't have any experiences of this port which is why I was asking the question. It was only from the threads on CC that I had gathered the information that you were not allowed to walk in the port area, and that only the taxis booked for tours were allowed in. I have no idea as I have never been, so I was not making any generalisations based on any experiences.

Thank you to all people replying tho offering all your kind advise.

due to the busy port, you are not allowed to walk from the ship to the area where the taxi are, so you have to take the shuttle as the taxis are not allowed in this area unless organised trip is booked with them

We are shortly going on our cruise and were considering doing Pisa on our own from the ship however there seems to be some confusion over costs of actually getting out of the port, as you have to pay a shuttle fee on some cruises to get from your ship to the taxis outside of the port area.

We are travelling with P&O can anyone please help with this question? We were thinking of getting a taxi to the train and then transferring to Pisa that way to save the expense of the ships tour there. Has anyone recently sailed with P&O and can enlighten me on this?

hotel sienna, right in the centre of rome, spanish steps/trevi fountain 2 minutes, colosseum 15 min walk. A gem of a hotel and includes lovely breakfast.

Thankyou all so much for your comments and time posting, have gained lots of valuable information.

Kruzseeker thanks so much for such brilliant info and for the link x

Kruzseeker thank you so much for all that info absolutely fantastic, and for the link.

Thank you Celebrity, however any personal advice welcomed. x :) where exactly do i find the ports of call part tho. Ok i found it but the posts on there are a few years old :(

Thanks tripalot a get together sounds good. thanks for the port guide link, very useful.

have you pre booked any of the speciality restaurants, and are they worth doing?

ANY ADVICE WELCOMED ON DO IT YOUR SELF EXCURSIONS FOR THE FOLLOWING

PISA - BEST WAY TO GET THERE FROM THE DOCK

KATOR -

CORFU-

Would be grateful of any advise, or is it best to book with P&O and do there own trips.

thanks x

Kruzseeker, thank you so much, and yes please any more info would be gratefully received re the bus stop etc so if you could let me know would be great. Glad yo told me about validating my ticket, wouldn't have known about that either and don't want any fines. You mentioned there are 2 train stations, can u walk to the station from the ship, depending on where it docks, and does it matter which train station we go to, or are we best to get a bus, from the dock into pisa? hope you can advise us further.

All the other advice is brilliant.

Thanks so much x

Hi Tripalot, I believe you are on the same cruise at the same time as ourselves too. Thanks for your advice, yes we have researched that you can get bus or train to pisa so may take a chance on the local transport for that trip. we have decided having been to Rome that we will be booking the beach trip excursion as fancy a chilled out day and Rome although beautiful and not to be missed if you haven't visited is such a tiring day. Regarding Corfu town, is it where the ship docks i.e. within walking distance or is transport required to the town. I am sure your hubby will enjoy the boat trip tho.

could you send the link to download the port guides please.

We are shortly going on a med cruise with P&O we have booked a few excurisions but would like to do a couple on our own, does anyone have any info for the following ports

PISA - any advice on how to get to the square i.e. tower?

CIVITAVECCHIA (ROME) we were thinking of TARQUINIA AND BEACH ??

KATOR - any advice for this port please?

CORFU - all advice welcome

Would really appreciate all advice for these ports.

Thank you so much for all your advise, I think we are just going to do the Pompeii trip and save Sorrento for maybe another time. We feel from the sounds of things the trip to Pompeii may be rushed if combined with the Sorrento one. We feel a little worried doing this trip ourselves with the train tho so may book one of the excursions to Pompeii.
