I've just watched Paul Ludlow's message. It confirmed to me that if I return to a cruising it may not be with P&O. It's all about the amazing new experiences on ever large ships, especially his comments on what people can expect to see on Arvia. Arcadia and Aurora get a brief mention as 'well loved ships' and that's about it. I know some people love the space and extra venues on Britannia and Iona but they're just too large for me. Paul Ludlow shows the building of Arvia and I wonder when she comes on service if Arcadia or Aurora will go. If that happens then that's the end of my P&O cruising. At the moment I won't be booking anything. I've loved reading about Sue's experiences in the Caribbean but the possibility of being shunted to Queen Victoria would put me off even thinking of booking. I accept it's good that people can be transferred to the Queen instead of being taken to a hotel but having had the experience of having to pack up and be off loaded is not one I want to even risk occurring again. Maybe I'm being pessimistic when I'm naturally optimistic about most things. I really hope that things improve. If and when I decide to cruise again, either on my own or with a friend, I hope Arcadia and Aurora are still in service but it wouldn't surprise me if one or other, or even both have gone.

I wouldn't think Aurora will go just yet Carole as they've recently forked out giving her a refit. But as with all things, never say never.

I hope you're right Stephen. I'd like to go on her once more, John and I had some really fantastic cruises on her.
