Thanks for making this video, it's great to see the process from start to finish as we have never cruised before. A great relief to see how simple this is! 👍👍👍

Today is all about the check in and embarkation process from Southampton on what is the busiest ever P&O cruise!

Thanks for another awesome video Jamie - as ever, very entertaining and incredibly useful 😃 Its so great to see embarkation getting close to normal (to be fair we'd be happy if collecting our cruise cards at the cabin was here to stay - its so much quicker than getting them printed before boarding!). We are really looking forward to the rest of your vlog series 🤩 Excited to see what's changed ahead of our next cruise!

@OrnumCR Год назад

This is basically exactly the same process we went through boarding Queen Elizabeth in Melbourne on the same date you boarded Iona in Southampton. It was easy and super quick. The only difference was a C19 rat test confirmation before boarding which was done by an image on your smart device showing a negative test that you had to provide showing your test within 24 hours prior to boarding. Confirmation of vaccination also required as per Australian government regulations. Otherwise was same same…

@amandahimsworth7469 6 месяцев назад

Hello Jamie I curious about embarkation. In this video you said more or less that you had to show your passport and boarding pass . Can you tell me what else you was asked to show ? And what other questions they asked you at check-in please? . Also if you don't mind in your hand luggage you bring on with you how much are you allowed ? And is there anything you can't pack in it ? Is it scanned like an airport? Many thanks 😊

@TravelBlogJamie 6 месяцев назад

That’s because that’s all they ask for! Nothing else. Wasn’t asked any Qs. Hand luggage scanned at security - bring what you can carry but has to fit through X-ray machines. No sharp objects.

@amandahimsworth7469 6 месяцев назад

@TravelBlogJamie OK thank you 😊 I asked because other people I have asked said they ask for your insurance details

@TravelBlogJamie 6 месяцев назад

@@amandahimsworth7469 they haven’t asked since a whole after lock downs ended - you still need insurance though

@AvidTravelGeek Год назад

When is the earliest you can arrive at the terminal? Is 15:15 arrival time standard on the boarding pass? What time did you arrive?

@TravelBlogJamie Год назад

We arrived at 2.45

@TravelBlogJamie Год назад

You can arrive at the terminal in the morning / before your arrival time but no guarantee you’ll be able to check in. We have arrived around 11.30 before.

@AvidTravelGeek Год назад

Are you able to walk on with your luggage instead of dropping off luggage like you can on US cruises?

@TravelBlogJamie Год назад

Yes buuut it would have to fit in the X-ray machines and these are not big enough for large cases

@oldschoolabrahamhicks2742 Год назад

When it says final boarding time 4.30pm- does that mean you can arrive at 4.30pm at the latest??

@TravelBlogJamie Год назад

I believe it means ‘all aboard’ by 4.30pm so if you arrived at the terminal at 4.30pm chances are you’d be too late (you’d need to have dropped off your luggage, checked in, completed security). It also means you might not see your luggage for some time as most will have already been delivered to cabins by then.
