Re: Balcony cabins
I still take the old 3litre wine box so it’s nice to wander up to the buffet for some cold pickings for lunch and wash it down with a cold glass of vino while soaking up the rays in perfect company and comfort.Stephen wrote: 20 Jan 2022, 14:41Same here barney.
We much prefer to find a quite spot on deck or sit on the balcony. We certainly wouldn't even think about laying round the pool hemmed in like sardines. No no no. Plus being on your own deck you haven't got to go too far to top up your preferred tipple![]()
A perfect afternoon in the sun.

Re: Balcony cabins
We’ve had both ends of the spectrum - a suite for the world cruise and insides for most others - the suite on all honesty wasn’t worth paying 3 times as much - we’ve always been very lucky with updates though as well

Re: Balcony cabins
I'm not a pool person and am looking forward to sitting on my balcony away from the noise if the children.
It's going to be a change as usually go on Aurora or Arcadia. Both of my other 2 cruises next year are Aurora and Arcadia.

Have you seen on CC and FB the rumours that Arcadia is being sold.Whynd1 wrote: 20 Jan 2022, 17:57I'm not a pool person and am looking forward to sitting on my balcony away from the noise if the children.

Re: Balcony cabins
We also have a C deck balcony booked for June Canaries cruise and the 7 night Cruise calling at Porto.
Just hope they are not being used as isolation cabins. We had same cabin booked for September but P & O cancelled the cabin and moved us to R deck. They told us it was an upgrade. We had strong words and cancelled the cruise and transferred to Iona.
As we are due to pay for this cruise soon I have just written to them asking them to confirm that the cabin we booked is available.

Re: Balcony cabins
We had a balcony cabin directly above C deck and this gorgeous young lady was always out there in her pink bikini…. I felt quite uncomfortable looking down on her balcony so got the binoculars out and made out I was looking at the dolphins

Re: Balcony cabins
Know what you are saying OL. When out on the balcony and leaning on the rail looking out to sea, you do tend to look down and the occupants of the cabins below may also be on their balcony. I find it easy just to acknowledge them with a hello, it breaks the ice.Onelife wrote: 20 Jan 2022, 21:31We had a balcony cabin directly above C deck and this gorgeous young lady was always out there in her pink bikini….

Re: Balcony cabins
The difference between you and Onelife Ray is your are probably polite and discreet, where as Onelife will probably shout out "Oi luv, up here, get your tits out for keefy baby, I've got a new camera that needs running in"

While your post is absolutely true and correct, it did give me a good laugh.
