Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
I assumed we were coming back into Ocean terminal - it only says that on our e-ticket?Not so ancient mariner wrote:We may be on the ABP website, but they have us down as returning to Ocean terminal on the 16th, and P&O seem to think we are docking at Mayflower!

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
You are right, my e-ticket now states that; - but I am pretty sure that's not the original information I was given. I didn't think it odd leaving from the Ocean Terminal and returning to Mayflower, as that's exactly what we did on E204 in March last year.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
What does happen in terms of picking up your car if you arrive at a different terminal to where you departed and where you car is parked? Are they far from each other?Not so ancient mariner wrote:You are right, my e-ticket now states that; - but I am pretty sure that's not the original information I was given.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Morning Emma, dont worry about picking your car up, we have sailed out of one terminal and into another several times and they always make sure cars are parked at the terminal where the ship will return to. On one occasion the terminal destination was changed while we was away but some how the cars where all in the car park across the road, I assume they move them to the car park just before the ship comes in.

Well at the moment I am sporting the worse cold I have in a long time, I am really hoping we are germ free for our holidays - its been booked nearly two years and nothing is going to stop my enjoyment, even if the weather doesn't look great in the canaries at the moment!

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
We have around 2 weeks before we get there, by then the cold will be gone and the weather will be lovely

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Reading back through the previous posts on this E303 thread, I realise us lot have a fair bit in common. I too obtained my 1st DSLR in November, and still have a lot to learn to get the best from it. Also, one of our cats was poisoned by something just after Christmas and has run up a vet's bill of over £700. Fortunately he is insured, and earlier this week we had confirmation that the insurers have accepted the claim and paid up. Phew!

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Well I've booked a trip for every port. I'm not adding up the cost but at least I know they are already paid for and I can squander my OBC on some serious pampering in the spa. Don't you just love a hot stones massage?
Have now got a few butterflies which will grow into a full-scale case of packing panic by this time next week.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Glad he is okay, Millie is going for the 4th time tonight for the vets, really hope they get to the bottom of it now. Hopefully she won't need a emergency hysterectomy as the insurers don't like to pay out for that!!Not so ancient mariner wrote:Reading back through the previous posts on this E303 thread, I realise us lot have a fair bit in common.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Getting mega excited now, this time next week we will be down there ready at our pre cruise hotel.
This weekend is all about semi packing, changing euros & buying last few odds & sods. Than next week might work a few days depends how cold it is (joy of working for yourself) than get my sons haircut and do the final pack and drop the dogs off at the kennels.
God i so need this holiday!!

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Yes, my (very big) case is now half full and I got my Euros yesterday. Tried on my formal gowns last night and they still fit thank goodness. I usually put on half a stone during a cruise so hope I can still get into a couple by the end!

Not planning to myself but I believe they are usually well attended. Perhaps they'll do something special for Mothering Sunday.

Just got back from London after starting my Birthday celebrations early with a few friends, did some last minute shopping for the hols, it was quite strange buying shorts etc while it was snowing outside.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Whatever the weather will be like, it will be warmer than here. I have packed cardigans, I have lost a lot of weight so tend to feel the cold even if it is hot lol. Only 5 more sleeps. So excited now!
