Thanks for the fast response and detailed info.

Interested in visiting the D Day beaches.Considering using Overlord tours who have a tour 9B which visits some of the sights.Anyone did this tour?

Thanks

Has anyone visited the fjord center?

Has anyone used the light railway either to visit Edvard Grieg Museum or just to see some of the surrounding area?

Thanks bubbachief

which mall does the free shuttle go to? The original plan was to take a taxi from the cruise terminal to the creek and have a walk around the area and then either take the metro or taxi to Dubai mall.

We plan to visit the creek and then travel to the Dubai mall.Should we walk to al Ghubaiba metro station and then transfer at Burjuman metro station to the red line to go to the mall or use taxi.Which option would you recommend based on cost/time?

Can I ask where you purchase the ticket from groupon?

Visiting Muscat on an upcoming cruise and have 2 days in port.Will definitely visit the grand mosque but what else would you recommend to do while in port?

Considering visiting the Burj Khalifa but have now read reviews which seem to say that even buying tickets on line, you can wait up to an hour in a queue to get to the viewing area, ie 124 floor and then due to the amount of people, some times three deep at the windows, you can struggle to see out. Would be interested in hearing from people who have visited if this was also your experience or does it depend on time of day you visit and did you consider it was worth the cost for the experience.

price in brochure is before any discounts have been applied.

Does anyone know what Royal charge for the shuttle bus from the port to the center of Bilbao and where the drop off point is?

Azura was due to do a world cruise before but this was cancelled due to poor sales. In fact we were on azura and were thinking about booking a sector of the world cruise when they announced the cruise was cancelled. This raises an interesting point as on another tread people are talking about the new larger ship due to launch in 2020 and how a lot of people prefer the smaller ships.These ships have in the past done world cruises.Maybe this is another attempt to try to persuade people to try the larger ships for world cruises and if it fails could this mean the end of world cruises in the future.

I agree.The lifts on Britannia hold up to 18 passengers.At least that's what it says on the panel inside the lift.We managed to get 13 passengers in one of the lifts and that was a tight squeeze.How you would manage to get 18 passengers in the lift, I don't know.

I hope the designers put a middle staircase on the new ship.

The price in the brochure is before any discount is applied.An example would be you receive 5% discount for booking with P & O and an additional 5% for past passenger giving 10% discount. Then the TA would add their discount, say 5% to the discounted price to give a final price.

Thanks

Thanks everyone.

Has anyone did any of the Royal Caribbean excursions to Paris? I understand that it is about 2 hours travel time both ways and was wondering if it would be too exhausting and if you had ample time to see the main attractions in Paris.Should I consider spending my time in Le Harve instead?

Visiting Gijon on our next cruise.What is there to do in the area?

No one was able to answer the question as to why the trams were not running.There was however a lot of road works in the area. We spoke to three different locals while standing at the bus stop which is situated across from tram stop, waiting on bus to go to train station.All confirmed the trams had not been running for several weeks and there was no info as to when or if the trams would run again soon.

When we visited Naples a few weeks ago, the tram system was not operating.You may have to look at other options to get to the train station.
