kikki21 Posted September 12, 2018 Author #26 Share Posted September 12, 2018 We got the cabin location we wanted. Right at the front of the ship which for a Fjords Cruise is pretty special. I was a bit perturbed that I would feel the sea more at the front on the Meraviglia but it was so smooth sailing on her so I’m pretty happy right now!

Rare Selbourne Posted September 13, 2018 #27 Share Posted September 13, 2018 We got the cabin location we wanted. Right at the front of the ship which for a Fjords Cruise is pretty special.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Sounds fantastic. We have had a couple of cruises in front Suites on Britannia and the forward facing panoramic windows are brilliant. We kept the blind open so woke every morning to panoramic views and could watch our approach to ports from bed! We also set up our own private Crows Nest with two of the chairs from the living room, which was lovely during sea days when the ship was busy. We had an aft corner wrap suite on another cruise on Britannia and although the balcony was ten times better, there were multiple other problems (soot, vibration, plumbing noises), none of which we experienced at the front of the ship. As for movement in relation to your position in the ship, I think this is overplayed. On our last Britannia cruise there was some pitching and rolling (corkscrew motion) on the return trip and as an experiment I stood in a number of areas in the ship (aft, forward, midships, higher decks, lower decks) and have to say that the degree of movement felt pretty much the same everywhere. It was a bit less in the restaurant midships, but that’s very low down and a few decks below the balcony cabins. I’m sure that you will have a fantastic experience.

P-L-B Posted September 19, 2018 #31 Share Posted September 19, 2018 According to the tv last night the maiden voyage is sold out. Yes, not surprised looking at the interest it has created. We have booked but not the maiden.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter18 Posted September 19, 2018 #32 Share Posted September 19, 2018 We managed to book the maiden. It’s a bit big for us but we have never joined a ship on its maiden voyage, so we are taking this opportunity. Nice itinerary too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britboys Posted September 19, 2018 #33 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I had an e-mailshot this morning from one of the big on-line cruise agents offering the Maiden at £1306. Of course, whether they would still have it if anyone enquired is another matter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy v Posted September 21, 2018 #36 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Nowhere near as exciting as it used to be and i have done the last 5 P&O maiden cruises. How do you know that? It hasn't happened yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikki21 Posted September 27, 2018 Author #37 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I’ve sailed on the inaugural voyage of the Escape & although NCL didn’t do anything special to mark the occasion, our CC group did loads to make it special & it really was a great experience!

majortom10 Posted September 27, 2018 #38 Share Posted September 27, 2018 How do you know that? It hasn't happened yet. Cannot see much different happening than recent maidens of Britannia, Azura or Ventura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
