aww lovely, I wish we got married on board a cruise ship, our second cruise was for our honeymoon. You will love it!!

We booked May 2011 after returning from Ventura, so nearly two years waiting for this one!! We have two little girls :)

I have not had anything from P&O yet regarding that, mind you I have no tours booked for any of those islands so maybe thats why. I wonder why they have changed it.

I have just had a call from our travel bloke telling us he recieved a message from P&O, I said I bet they have changed the order of islands, then I told him how I found out. I dont think I would have noticed if no one had told me though, I just seem to get on a ship and get off when it stops.

Listening to all the trouble going on, makes me wonder if we will get to Casablanca, It seems the troubles are quite close. I wonder if any other ships are going there.

I think a lot of it is down to the government, if they think its a bit dodgy the travel industry will be told to avoid. Worth keeping an eye on though. As this is your first cruise I dont think it will bother you too much if we miss any islands, Oceana was our first P&O ship when she was new to the fleet and to be honest I didnt care if we never got off I just loved being on board. We was back on her for Xmas and I must say she is still an impressive ship. Just be prepared for the future to become expensive because you will be hooked.

It will most likely be fine but something worth keeping in mind the way they are going on out there

If we didnt stop in casablanca would we go to another port or just miss out completely?

It depends if another port could take us at short notice, if not they could cancel but I am sure all will be ok.

ahh well at least money will be refunded on excursion!! As long as the weather is hot enough to use the pool I will be okay with that, except we did originally book this cruise because of Casablanca!!
