Be careful with taking extension leads or adapter plugs that take one socket and give you a number of sockets to connect to you need to make sure they don't have surge protection or they will be confiscated when taken through security and pose a fire risk.
Been told from a number of people the Virgin flights are bonded like TUI so its off the bus and straight to the ship with your bags following later. I actually asked the cruise monkeys who have been on Arvia this month and flew with Virgin and they confirmed this. P&O seem to be telling customers differently for some reason but it seems they are bonded flights like TUI.
Do you know which ports the shuttle bus in the select package is available in please? And when the shuttle is available will it take you to a nice beach? Cruising on Arvia Nov23, many thanks x
Hi Tanya, I had the select package too the shuttle buses on the select package only take you from the ship to outside of the port gates and no further. In Martinique for example this was a kind of tuk tuk which saved you a ten minute walk. Many of the other islands it was only a five minute walk until you reached the town so no shuttle buses were available . Depending on your itinerary I am going to have to advise you to contact P&O for the islands the shuttles are applicable too. We only saw them in Martinique. :-)
Hi Beth, I have used Venture Ashore but it was a few years ago pre covid. Since covid I have used the cruiseline and Viator or done a trip independently. I will send you the times of each port today on Instagram too Beth :-)
Yes have a look at venture ashore website, put the details of the cruise you are looking to book and it will bring up the trios for you. You can’t see the cruiseline excursions until after you book though.
Well thats me already for our Christmas caribbean cruise 2023 on Britannia. Last night, i downloaded our barbados visas to our phone. Very easy.
Have the best time mark :-)

Thanku, yes they are now offering the same service on Virgin flights with your bags which is great news. Thankyou for your comment :-)

Hi, I’ve seen some mixed reviews for venture ashore, have you ever used them in the Caribbean? Thanks

Is there anyway to see the shore excursions before your cruise is booked?
Yes have a look at venture ashore website, put the details of the cruise you are looking to book and it will bring up the trios for you. You can’t see the cruiseline excursions until after you book though.
