It really destroyed any sense of spontaneity and just wandering along to see if the show looked interesting, or seeing that day's MDR menu and thinking you might try elsewhere. The trouble was that by the end of day one everything, every show, every music show, every seat in every restaurant was fully booked for the whole cruise and then remained that way. Just over £10,000 for two is a lot to pay, for the Aurora Caribbean, if we are to be restricted on what we can do spontaneously on the ship, especially as we may not be able to go ashore independently at some (possibly all) ports, which is a risk we had decided to.live with when we booked, given nowhere will be "normal" in pre covid terms this winter IMO.Ī few years ago I sailed on an NCL ship and everything needed to be pre-booked with their app (or on one of the many terminals around the ship) - theatre shows, music shows in bars, speciality dining, spa, etc. You could book the restaurants in advance of boarding, but the theatre shows, etc. If it is just for special acts or particularly popular shows, I can possibly see the point, so there would not be a "scramble at the door", so to speak, but perhaps still a tad worrying as an to how far they may want to extend the system in the future. So, as I said earlier, they need to make it so you have to book daily for everything and not let people that have been lucky enough to get an early boarding time take all the slots for the whole cruise. We love the Theatre Shows and the daytime talks so will be very disappointed if when we board the early boarders have already booked all the slots. Although according to the message I received from P & O it is changing from booking before you board to using the app when you board. I am hoping someone who has already traveled will let us know. I’m sorry I don’t know either what has to be booked and what doesn’t. I do not see what is wrong with the current, first come first served method. Without that, there is little point in cruising IMO. We rarely go to the shows, but will in some cases and most of our evening movements are just what we want to do at the time. If we have to plan our movements around the ship, may not pay the balance.Ĭan I ask what entertainment needs booked? Is it just some special things, all shows as well (in which case are you given the titles up front) and would we also have to book into lounges/bars where musicians are playing and the disco as well? We are not booked on P&O until Aurora Caribbean next Feb, but find this very worrying.
