Tablelamp Posted December 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Now there is no turndown service do the beds still have the coloured runners and cushions on them which make the cabin seem more like a day room. Any other changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just came back off Iona last week, we had small cushions on the bed. There was also two runners we could put on the bottom of the bed. One in with the life jackets and one on top of the desk area, with the luggage bed cover. Photo has the day cushions, but not runners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennib Posted December 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2022 You will have to go on Marella for traditional turndown with bed runners and choccies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I should have said they were under the bed for those DIY enthusiasts, however I do prefer to be a bit pampered when on holiday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tablelamp Posted December 4, 2022 Author #6 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I too prefer being pampered but it seems we now have to resort to DIY. I suppose there are no flowers in the cabin either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tablelamp Posted December 4, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I fear P and O are trying to lose their long-standing passengers. What a terrible way to treat the people who have remained loyal to them over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danamis Posted December 4, 2022 #13 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Had no runners or cushions on our cruises on Arcadia and Ventura earlier this year. Hovever on our Iona cruise last month we arrived to find both in our cabin. It looked really nice but the runner appeared folded up on top of the tv shelf for the rest of the cruise. Didn't bother putting it back on each day. The cushions were welcome though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only sailed with Marella once and was distinctly unimpressed. Would give them another try with the right itinerary and price but their prices seem pretty high at the moment. I looked on their website for next year and a solo inside cabin was between £1400 and £1700 for a 7 night Med fly-cruise.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did we for the first time in October and loved it. Small ships, excellent services, excursion prices the best for any cruise line I have been on. Going again next year. Mind we we also have two P+O to go on as well. I was expecting Thomson all inclusvie hotel at sea. It was far better than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say however, I'd give them a second chance if price & itinerary right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amajaa Posted December 6, 2022 #19 Share Posted December 6, 2022 The first thing I do on any cruise line is take the cushions and runners off the bed and put them at the top of the wardrobe and ask the cabin Steward not to put them back. The reason being I never know if they have been laundered between each guest, I assume not. I have done this since we started cruising 2 years ago. Also do it if any hotels have the same.

Also Glass House is no longer bookable. Just off Iona. Complimentary cans were in our cabin 4 cushions also present Still Shampoo and Shower Gel in the bathroom No turn down service, but we are not worried as being on freedom dining, it means we can leave the cabin when we want and not hold the steward up.
