When we enquired it was £500 per person to upgrade to Premium Economy. As there's 4 of use we decided it wasnt worth it.

Was that (hopefully) both ways?

not anymore as like I said you are only allowed 15 alcoholic drinks per person per every 24 hour period and I believe once you hit your 15 alcoholic drink before the 24 hour period you are in is up you will stopped from buying anymore alcoholic drinks until the new 24 period starts.well I'm guessing that is how it will work on P&O Cruises from now on anyway 

Well in all my years of having the drinks package they have let me go over or once you get to know the crew they will say you have hit 15 drinks but your partner is on say 10 and will put it on their card. Looked it up and you can go over if you pay:

Ooh Birmingham wasnt an option when I booked, wonder if they will let us change from London airport to Birmingham, that would save us a lot of hassle.

We are going on a Saturday to Arvia, cant see the carrier for that?

Once you hit the 15 drink limit with the package you can carry on drinking but you have to pay for it

In Southampton we were able to arrive at any time of our choosing, whether that was because we are elite I dont know? 

I'm on 27 cruises with Princess. To not have any priority boarding in Fort Lauderdale was quite annoying especially after US customs at Miami airport. Anyone that has flown to Miami will know what I mean!

Would be nice to see Southampton keeping to the good old days of boarding.

Quick boarding (very) 

We were on Caribbean Princess in December and there is no Elite priority boarding any more, was quite frustrating as it took us a good hour of queuing at Fort Lauderdale

A cold is a virus, anti-biotics will not help as they are anti bacterial. You just have to ride a cold out unfortunately.

Can you tell me what films are showing please, I know it might change in the 6 weeks until we get on but would appreciate an idea of what to expect.

Did you notice if there was 10% off the classic drink package when you got on please? When I was looking at this cruise it was offered with 10% off then by the time I booked it had gone! Not sure whether to wait until we board and hope its 10% off or just bite the bullet.

Ooh if your on the 14th June (like me) it’s Kevin Simm in the Limelight.

Yes its the 14th for us too!

Do you know if he is any good and how did you know that!

7 weeks today for us, can you tell me who is on in the Limelight club please!

Very impressed so far, set up a Stockperks account Tuesday and uploaded proof of shareholding. Email yesterday saying proof was accepted, another email today saying the onboard credit had been applied. Top stuff.

I only got the email to say you could book yesterday! Thought to myself, I'll do that tomorrow...

(June 14th Britannia)

Yesterday I could book the Limelight club, today its gone. Also had an email today saying you can now book dining but its all gone to "Coming soon" 

Spoke too soon..

Was slow for me a minute ago but workable.

Finally got it working now thank you.

There is a good Naval history museum a short walk from where you dock, we enjoyed it. U boats used to use La Spezia in WW2 as a supply port.

Im trying to set up my Stockperks profile and every time I click on Carnival it says Oops sorry something went wrong try again later. Been doing this for over a day now, anyone else experienced this? Its for a cruise in June

Mine still says "Your flight details are not currently available"

Are your Antigua flights out of Gatwick?

 Wonder how this affects our January 25 Antigua flight?

Found it Ocean Players Club – Global Casino Rewards Program

It does say this in the correspondence:

Please note: At the end of every voyage, we process any funds that were left in the player's bank account. Funds in excess of $25 will automatically be issued via a check to the address we have on file in a Carnival Cruise Line envelope.
Any balance below $25 will be processed manually upon request
 
If you still have not received the outstanding balance check, and it is outside of the 6 weeks, please submit a new request: Balance Inquiry. Our agents will review your case and advise any updates regarding your check.

Please provide the correct mailing address within the form to verify it was sent to the correct address. 

 

There is a website you go to to claim it back, I won the Bingo twice and forgot to check out but got my money back a few months later, was about $600. I will see if I can find it.

But we are going January 2025! 😔
