The sugar train in St Kitts is one of my all time favourite trips

Princess lets you add a hotel if you fly, we are staying at the Hilton Marina Fort Lauderdale pre-cruise in December.

Plenty of dancing going on throughout the evening on Britannia in the Live Lounge? 

The Live lounge is far too small for the size of the ship, if you are not there early its standing room only.

• Refresh package - I realize this includes draft soft drinks only.  As well as drinking in bars and restaurants, I assume these drinks can be taken back to your cabin? Yes
• Are there water dispensers on board to access drinking water (we've been on Marella previously and they had this). Yes in the buffet
• On the formal / celebration nights will we still be able to request a table for 2? Cant see why not
• On the formal / celebration nights are there any complimentary drinks? i.e. welcome drinks and what are the options (husband doesn't drink wine). Yes, a variety of drinks are on trays with waiters walking around
• Our flight doesn't arrive until 6pm - are there any shops nearby where we can grab a few bottles of water to take on board? Yes there is a shop right next to the dock, you walk through it on the way to the ship, whether its open late I am not sure

Many thanks

I tried getting a status match on MSC as I'm Elite with Princess, but as it was my first cruise with them they said not this time.

I think even outdoors the roof was covered when we went.

Cant beat Hob Nobs

I was getting 30Mbs on Royal Caribbean in 2015, not impressed, they need to do someting

They are a bit picky if you have no luggage. Twice we got turned away. Got our bags and walked in no problem

Just take a screenshot of the monthly statement and email it off, simples.

I have never had a share certificate, they only request proof.

Go for a basic Freetrade account, they dont charge you a monthly fee or any transaction fees.

I thought ii, (interactive investor) part of the Aberdeen group, had taken over Equinities sharedealing business, and they do make charges.

Thats interesting if true, I have other shares with Equiniti but not heard the ownership had changed.

Freetrade are very good, no transaction fees buying or selling.

When we got on Azura in February when vaccination  proof was still needed we didnt have to show any proof at all, nor did we have to show proof of insurance, it was all back to the good old days.

Health questionnaire was remove December last year, no need to upload one.

No masks needed in Spain or Canaries, the law was removed the week before we boarded.

Was the Vista lounge when we were on her.

For charter flight they do not. Charters flights have a four number flight number. If you have a scheduled flight which has a three number flight number you can do twilight checkin

This!

Had to laugh at the auto subtitles changing Arvia to Our Beer!

We have a Princess pre-cruise stay at the Hilton Marina Fort Lauderdale, usually its the Intercontinental, Shulas or Sofitel in Miami

Where are you going? I got off Azura Saturday and we didnt need masks, proof of test or proof of vaccinations. It was back to the good old days.

Does Saver fares let you do that? We were all Select.

Must admit we had £550 OBC for a seven day cruise so getting the Ultimate drinks package for two only cost me £10.

Got off Azura yesterday, we had 3 cabins with 6 people too. We requested MDR second sitting table for 6, I checked twice with the travel agent this was correct and all the paperwork said so. On boarding we found our table was for 4 and the other two people were puton freedom dining. Reception were useless and told us to go to a restaurant in the morning. Turns out there is a dining desk set up at 1pm which sorted us all out. All fine

Got off Azura yesterday, yes you can use OBC. With the price of the drinks onboard its quite easy to get your money back even on embarkation day.

Thank you, we flew out yesterday to Tenerife. Nice plane albeit stripped out of entertainment, food expensive and drinks. Good flight though.
