Re: Cuba Ban
Will that mean that P & O gets it back, or is the future mega big ships?
Don't worry, be happy

Re: Cuba Ban
That was only ever a short-term operation. We were on one of the last cruises just before the Adonia/Fathom operation started and the gerneral view that it was a political decision for some reason by Carnival to build up some goodwill, get some sort of tax break or something.david63 wrote: ↑06 Jun 2019, 08:10So all of the Adonia/Fathom operation now appears to have been a waste of time https://cruiseline.com/advice/what-s-ho ... es-to-cuba

I thought it was more to do with gaining access to Cuba for the "proper" cruise ships.Quizzical Bob wrote: ↑11 Jun 2019, 12:52the gerneral view that it was a political decision for some reason by Carnival to build up some goodwill, get some sort of tax break or something.
But whatever the reason it all seems to have been a waste of time.

Re: Cuba Ban
Can't disagree there - although I suspect that she was destined to go sooner rather than later!

Re: Cuba Ban
As are all ( P&O ) ships in the fullness of time of course but I dare say we could have fitted in a few extra cruises on Adonia had she stayed put.

Re: Cuba Ban
You can still sail on her as Azamara Pursuit, but you will have to pay Azamara prices Moby, and Azamara also have two of Adonia's sister ships in Quest and Journey for you to enjoy.Manoverboard wrote: ↑11 Jun 2019, 17:35

Re: Cuba Ban
That is very true …. but not out of Southampton as far as I am aware. Flying is out and in any event there seem to be too many insurance complications so basically we don't bother cruising any more.towny44 wrote: ↑12 Jun 2019, 10:10You can still sail on her as Azamara Pursuit, but you will have to pay Azamara prices Moby, and Azamara also have two of Adonia's sister ships in Quest and Journey for you to enjoy.

You may recall that the best cruise we ever had on Adonia was when she ' stayed put ' during her ' Naming Do 'david63 wrote: ↑11 Jun 2019, 18:57You wouldn't have had much of a cruise if she had "stayed put"Manoverboard wrote: ↑11 Jun 2019, 17:35we could have fitted in a few extra cruises on Adonia had she stayed put.

Re: Cuba Ban
Carnival were never prepared to put money into maintenance.
I was lucky to see Pursuit after she had had a multi million £ makeover.
She looked wonderful.
Carnival did the same with Artemis and again Artania looked wonderful after a makeover.
Pile them high and sell them cheap should be their motto.

Re: Cuba Ban
Pacific Princess is also the same class and is also expensive. Oceania Cruises have four of the same class, Insignia, Nautica, Regatta and Serena.
We loved this Adonia too
