Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hopefully things can only improve following your poor embarkation experience. We used CPS in April, the first time in years. Everything went smoothly, however that was at Ocean Terminal. Using CPS at Mayflower this Saturday, hopefully they will have learnt from their poor handling of your cruise's embarkation. Since the re-start we've only done one cruise out of Mayflower and we arrived by taxi on that occasion. Lots of priority boarders though (terminal staff said there were 650) and we did have to wait around a while after checking in. Also was Aurora btw. However unlike yourselves we did not have to wait outside, and plenty of people were allowed into the terminal after us. Maybe you had a lot more priority boarders than when we were on board. Enjoy your guest speaker's presentations. I would certainly have been attending U Boat talks. Thanks again for the update, may your onboard wifi access continue un-interrupted!
  2. They had one on our recent Ventura jolly. I did see one lonely passenger using it one day. As mentioned earlier, scanning staff weren't telling pax to hand their grog over.
  3. We were on Ventura just before Christmas. At Gibraltar, security scanning was done on the ship. We'd bought our full spirit allowance there. The scanning staff didn't say anything about our haul. We would have quite happily handed our stuff over to save storing it in the cabin. All drinks made it home safely home un-opened.
  4. Worldie Formals have appeared overnight as well. 17 in all.
  5. Nothing on our doormat so far. A diary would be nice. Can't remember whether we got a calendar last year. Certainly no hard copy Moments this year.
  6. Anyone claimed for a missed sea day? Boarded Ventura 5 December. Scheduled to arrive Vigo on 08 December. Bad weather coming in, so Captain puts the handles down to get ahead of it and we arrive in Vigo on 07 December departing the following day. Rest of itinery as scheduled, so one sea day less. Tongue in cheek aside, we had our best port call to Vigo ever. We'd booked the Santiago de Compostela on your own trip, which was brought forward to the 7th. So a day out there, and then went ashore in Vigo in the evening to the Old Town and the Christmas Market near the harbour. Lovely lights and decorations. Great pre-Christmas atmosphere.
  7. Gave me a little chuckle. Just got off Ventura. SIL was with us on this one. She had four bags to carry off in addition to the case she collected in the hall. Ok, one was a handbag, a large one though. Then three fairly decent shopper/carrier type things. Combination of spending copious amounts on Spa products, Christmas booze in Gib, stuff for grandkids and general squandering.
  8. That's reminded me to check our worldie for next year. Thank you. Now 19 days to go as well. Also no mention in the itinery section of My Cruise as to dress codes. I remember the lists that used to be available re number of formals, theme nights etc. Used to be available by this link: Life on board - What will the dress code be whilst I am on board?| Frequently Asked Questions | P&O Cruises | Complete Cruise Solution However, the page now only refers you to My Cruise. That said, I still find Complete Cruise Solution still worth looking things up. Contains stuff that is either hard to find or unavailable on the P & O site. Also has info regarding Cunard which may be useful as you've dipped/dipping your toes into their domain.
  9. A house near us used to have a Dalek in the front garden. Disappeared a few years ago. I always used to wonder if there was a higher proportion of traffic collisions near there because of people looking at the Dalek instead of where they were going. Several years ago we were visiting friends in Boise, Idaho. Noticed a house there that had a Tardis in the front garden.
