Anyone else going from on here.


Only a two nighter, but for £149 in a balcony cabin it was too good to miss :thumbup:

There are some great bargains with P&O at the moment. We had been thinking about booking R426 but instead we booked R419, 11-14th October, 3 nights in a Deluxe Balcony Room for £229 per person, bargain. :thumbup:

We are going on this one, decided to add it the the Xmas one that we had booked last year. So pleased we are as we have the same cabin as well.
Looking forward to seeing the Brugge Christmas Markets.

They must have known we would be booking. Fresh from multi million pound refit and introduction of freedom dining starts the day we all board.

Happy days :thumbup:

You do realise that you will be laying the carpets and finishing the painting off. :lol: :lol:

Not wanting to be the harbinger of bad news but you realise that if the refit overruns you will not be cruising :evil:

Morning!
I'm trying to convince my eldest son and his partner to come on this "taster" on our favourite ship. Does anyone know if PandO slip in a formal night on these two-night jollies?

I believe that there is normally one casual (first) and one formal (last) on a two night cruise.

Yes, there is one formal and one smart casual as shown on cruise pesonaliser.

Yes one of each but it doesn't say whether formal is first or second night.

Just seen it on Planet cruise on TV and they have some good prices, not sure if they only sell saver fares or if they also have select prices.

I don't think that they even sell the wine packages on the two night cruises - but you can buy bottles

Lots of good deals about. Looked at this but decided to go for A501 (4 nighter on 4/1) instead for an Outside @ £239. 2 extra nights and you will all have completed any unfinished painting, carpets etc. :lol:

That's because everyone now knows that you are on it :thumbup:

Your first answer was the right one David.
Now P&O know I've booked they are wanting to attract a more up-market clientele to match my sar-fist-icashern :D

Taxis from the cruise terminal at Zeebrugge to Bruge.

We will be a group of 4 and thinking of getting a taxi to Bruge and back which I believe costs 50 Euros each way.

Does anyone have any experience of them and can offer any useful information please such as, should we book the same taxi to take us back to the ship and can they be relied upon to turn up.
