sarar Posted September 13, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted September 13, 2016 That's a shame I am planning to go on a long cruise in Jan 2018. T looks like they changing Ramblas to Glass House and East to Sindhu according to the P&O website deck plans.

Rare P&O SUE Posted September 13, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Well we went in the Glasshouse on Ventura in April 2013 and it had just been changed from Ramblas. I remember as we were disappointed not to see it as Ramblas. However it still had the Spanish look but was certainly the Glasshouse.

sarar Posted September 13, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I haven't been with P&O for a couple of years and don't know if I would be doing the right thing by choosing to go on Ventura for such a long cruise (28 days) as it is getting old.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We did that cruise this year and it was one of the best we have done. Excellent ship and crew. It is so good we have already booked for 2018 the one you are looking at. At least 6 of our fellow cruisers from this Jan have booked for Jan 17. I think they must have liked it as well.

davecttr Posted September 14, 2016 #10 Share Posted September 14, 2016 They changed Ramblas to the Glasshouse simply by installing the enomatic wine machine and changing the name - same décor ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarar Posted September 14, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Do I take the plunge and go for it? I know I will need to make a decision more or less today, never booked a cruise this far in advance before or this long.

mandylennon Posted September 14, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 14, 2016 We were on Ventura in July and last October and can honesty say she is not looking tired. Everywhere was clean and well maintained. Maintenance is on-going on any ship with painting and various repairs being done continually. We had 3 cabins and the only thing we could find fault with was in one cabin there was a little crack in the basin. We loved Ventura and hope to book again soon.

terrierjohn Posted September 14, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 14, 2016 We are also booked on the 35 nighter in Feb 2018 and this will be its last before it has a 16 day break, presumably for its next 5yr refit. I hope this does not impact on the cruise, but we are certainly looking forward to this cruise after doing a 28 night one earlier this year.

Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app No Dai, we thought about staying on for the 4 nighter for the b2b but think you have to do at least 7 nights to qualify for the b2b discount, which is a shame being that they are suite bookings, so 10% would have been well worth having.

sarar Posted September 14, 2016 Author #25 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have never done a cruise this long either, so don't really know what to expect.
