    We’re going on Iona soon so we’re trying to learn everything P&O. Some great tips there - we’d already thought dressing gown for the on deck jacuzzis. Our cruise will be a cold one, but still some great info here. Cheers 🍻

    • @Millsiebee
      @Millsiebee  5 місяців тому

      I think it depends on how long you are on the cruise for - going to be honest by the end of the two weeks there were days I felt I was making myself make the most of it if that makes sense?

    Hi, Good video, thank you. When you book Headliners, do you book specific seats, or, is the booking checked on the door just to allow access then you choose a seat inside ?

    • @Millsiebee
      @Millsiebee  10 місяців тому

      Heya - no you just book your seat and then it’s first come first served for where you go. I would say though that there are no bad seats, I’m only 5FT2 so worry about not always seeing if I’m behind someone tall, however there is such a good tier on the seats that you can see wherever you are! I would also say that (excluding greatest days) there were loads of spare seats, so don’t panic too much if you miss out on pre booking, still try your luck at the door!

    Your review was spot on.
    We were on deck 5 mid so never really felt the storm in the cabin

    • @Millsiebee
      @Millsiebee  11 місяців тому +1

      They are out other evenings as well as the formal nights - it's not always advertised so keep your eyes peeled! We saw some in the atrium during the second week on one of the evenings :)

    I noted you said you paid for a drinks package. Could you please advise whether you think it is worth it.

    • @Millsiebee
      @Millsiebee  10 місяців тому +3

      Of course - so we bought our drinks package ahead of boarding, which meant we got it at a discounted rate. This along with Ryan's 5% discount due to being in the Pacific Tier meant we each had to spend £38.43 a day to work out even. For us, this worked out as we enjoyed getting coffee and tea from Vistas each morning, topping up on water bottles (we did also use the refillable stations) as well as enjoying cocktails etc. I think it will vary from person to person, but to give you an idea of prices so that you can decide if it's right for you: cocktails are £7.15, prosecco £6.45, wine £6.85, bottle of water £2, flat white £3.05 tea £2.30, hot chocolate £3.10, juice £2.90, mocktail £3.85, pint £5.05 (depending which one you go for), G and T £7.35, coke £3.40. Obviously there are more drinks available, but we kept a tally each day to see if it was worth it for us and they were the drinks I wrote down! I would say that the nicest thing about the drinks package is that it's already paid for and then it's one less thing to worry about while you're away! Hope that's helpful :)

      @@Millsiebee thank you so much for taking the trouble to reply. I appreciate it! My hubby says “I won’t drink that much! “ but he is a Lancashire man who loves his beer! He feels if we get a drinks package he’ll drink more! I think they have put prices up recently, so I’m still reviewing situation! 👍🏻🥂🍻😘

    • @susankirtlan2076
      @susankirtlan2076 10 місяців тому +1

      If we did take out a drinks package do they still list the drinks and prices you’ve had on your charge account so you can see if you’ve made a saving?

    • @Millsiebee
      @Millsiebee  10 місяців тому

      Sadly not - it's like you haven't bought anything! I did a tally in my notes on my phone each day to see how much we would have spent. Whatever you decide to do, you will have a fantastic trip!

    My experience was that other passengers were on deck before dawn reserving with towels several sun beds in various locations for the rest of the day VERY SELFISH
