I don’t know about dinner yet, I didn’t get to choose as I booked a Saver fare, so I find out on board I think.
Great to know you loved the ship, and the quiz. I love a quiz. Enjoy your holiday planning, which ports do you go to? I very nearly went with TUI, but I have cruised with them twice before and never p&o, so I decided on a change Edited at 07:10 PM. |

We had the saver fare too. We weren't thrilled to be sitting with 8 strangers but actually it was better than if we were on a table by ourselves.
Thank you. Enjoy yours too! Any tips will be welcome Our ports are Bergen, Geiranger then an hour in Hellesylt, Olden, Haugesund and Flam. Can't pronounce any of them, haha. We've never been with TUI and we're going with my in-laws which should be fun for a change. Also P&O didn't offer all inclusive last time we went so we're looking forward to taking full advantage of the drinks package. I forgot to say that the ice cream stall near the pool was fantastic too. |

We were on a Saver fare too. Saver fare doesn't mean that you will be sat with strangers just that you get last priority for dining preference. Our sailing was full and we still got our first choice for dining which was anytime dining. We were on a table for 2 every night. I don't mind sitting with strangers but not when you get put with a group of stuffy over 60's who look down on you because you are *shock horror* YOUNG PEOPLE

We’re not all like that! We like young people - especially with some fava beans and nice Chianti! 😂

I can’t eat ice cream unfortunately, but thanks for the tip.
I would like freestyle dining, just because I do fancy trying a few select restaurants, and I tend to base dining around what I have done that day, and what evening entertainment I fancy. Stupidly I find early too early and late too late, which is a real first world problem I know 😂

Me too! I think everyone does, I would love a 7pm dinner slot, we had 8:30 last cruise and felt like bedtime by the time we finished!

I am of course, not under the impression that everyone is like that. But it would be just our luck we got the table who started the 'my horse is bigger than your horse' debate and Dean and I would just be sat waiting for the nightmare to end (not because we have tiny horses and are embarrassed, more that I can't stand that mentality).
Those who go on cruises will know the tables are very close and I have overheard conversations on the 10 people tables that make me very thankful I am sat on a table for 2

My parents are regular cruisers and have had some corkers on shared tables. They had an ex Yorkshire miner who got the hump when he found out my parents were from a mining community in Nottinghamshire.
One of the best couples they sat with was a young couple. The girl was a goth who loved red wine and the bloke was a one legged biker. They said they laughed for the entire voyage at dinner. Edited to add that the worse one was a pompous company shareholder that tried to March my dad to the pursers desk to get him to relinquish some of his onboard spending as he thought my dad had too much.

We once sat with an elderly Florida resident at breakfast- he proceded to get out all his meds and lined them up. We thought it was going to be a ‘fun’ meal. Turned out he was a survivor of Pearl Harbor and he was absolutely fascinating to listen to - breakfast lasted 2 hours!
