Just a quick reminder to you all that today is the last day to book Celebrity Eclipse for summer 2012 and receive FREE car parking. This will save you well over £100 if travelling for 2 weeks.
Celebrity have said that the offer will definately not be extended after today.
If you have already booked Eclipse then you must call AB parking to confirm the car parking by the 7th September. After this date the free car parking will no longer be honoured.
To call AB parking just dial 0844 8806848 or visit http://www.abparking.co.uk/ and have your Celebrity reference number and car details available.

My holidays are over
Well it's Bank Holiday Monday and my holidays are over. I'ved just had a lovely week in Cornwall with my family and a friends 5 year old too. We stayed at Well Farm Cottage in North Tamerton which is about 20 minutes in land from Bude. The cottage was lovely and ideal for our needs, it was really well equipped and was set in a courtyard with a play area for the kids which was ideal for the boys.
The weather was kind to us too and as a family that like to explore we had some great days out at Bude, Polzeath and Tintagel Castle. The area is fabulous for families and we all enjoyed the walks, beaches and rock climbing. In particular I loved the great choice of clotted cream ice creams on offer everywhere!
But now alas it is time to return to reality, I have spent the day washing and ironing and am now ready to return to work. However I am really looking forward to it, September is going to be a great month - next weel I am off to see MSC Opera in Southampton and on the 17th I get to look around Grand Princess. Both of these ships are really important to us as the both sail from the UK and are big for both the couples and families markets. Grand Princess has had a major refurbishment this year so I am really looking forward to seeing what they have done to her.
I will get some good photo's of both and write a review for you all and if there is anything in particular that you would like me to look at just let me know.

Are you a Crown and Anchor member?
If you are, and you've achieved either Diamond, Diamond Plus or Pinnacle status then you need to book a cruise for December.
If you sail in December you will be recognised and pampered by the entire Royal Caribbean Crew, regardless of the ship you are on or duration of the cruise. (I would expect that from Royal Caribbean anyway) but they are also giving double points for the sailing and triple points if sailing in a suite as well as special commemorative gifts and exclusive events.
There are some great deals for December at the moment to and you could sail with Royal Caribbean in the Med, Caribbean or Dubai at this time of year, have a look at our website or give me a call.

Taking your laptop on P&O ships
I have just investigated this for a customer so thought I would share it with everyone.
You can take your laptops on board P&O ships which is always an advantage if you have work to do whilst on holiday or just want to stay in touch with friends and family. There are a number of wi-fi hot spots as listed
Adonia: Full Wi Fi access available throughout the ship.
Arcadia - F Deck: The Globe & Spinnaker Bar, Deck 3: Cyb@ Center, Cafe Vivo, Horizon rooms, & Library and Deck 9: Gymnasium, The Belvedere & Aquarius pool and bar.
Aurora - D Deck: Cyb@ Study, Crow's Nest & Library.
Oceana - Promenade Deck : Cyb@ Study, Library, Deck 5: The Atrium Lobby & Explorers Bar.
Oriana - Sun Deck: Cyb@ Study & Crow's Nest
Azura & Ventura - Promenade Deck: Cyb@Study & all public lounges. Also in cabins using equipment that can be provided with the purchase of a time plan.
They do charge you for using their wi-fi and a variety of time plans can by purchased on board, a sample cost is £35 for 100 minutes of use (personally this seems quite pricey to me, but I am only comparing to my monthly at home charges)
If you only need a small amount of use you can also purchase 'Pay As You Go' for 50p per minute.
P&O also offer the chance to use their on board computers when you purchase a time plan or you can hire a lap top on board for £10 per day, subject to availability.

Pre book your My Time dining
There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding My Time dining on Royal Caribbean Cruises so I thought
I'd post a few facts to help you.
My Time dining gives you the flexibility to dine at the time you want to within the normal restaurant hours, this is generally from 6pm to 9.30pm with slight variations per ship. You still dine in the main restaurant and you still receive waiter service.
There are two ways of ensuring you dine at the time you want to, you can either just turn up at the restaurant and be seated by the waiters. At this stage you can ask for a table with just your party, or ask to dine on a larger table with other guests. However dining can get very busy, and if you turn up at peak times you may have to wait for a table to become available.
Royal Caribbean therefore offer you the facility to prebook your My Time dining in advance. This can be done via your cruise personaliser on the Royal Caribbean website, you can either chose to book for the same time for every night of your cruise or look at each night individually and pick a different dining time for each night. This is great if you are trying to fit around shore excursions / days at sea. They offer dining times every 15 minutes so you can really tailor it to suits your needs. You can also again choose to dine alone or with others guests.
Now I haven't actually done My Time dining yet but hope you find this helpful. perhaps if you have experienced it yourselves you can let me and other cruisers know whether you are better to select your times in advance or just sort it on the ship.
