Just stepped up gear!

Today I feel as if we have stepped up a gear in preparation for our cruise A615. Most of the important information is already in the online cruise peronaliser but there was just one or two things that we have to complete before P&O will issue our E-tickets in approximately five weeks time.
Travel insurance details was one thing we had to input, although we had purchased it many weeks ago it always seems to be the last piece of document details that we actually put on.  It could possibly be because P&O ask for a telephone number and from what we can see there could be three so we have plumped for a main number.
I don't know about you but I create a folder for every cruise that we go on.  I print off every piece of paperwork that relates to the current cruise and that includes the travel insurance documents, booking confirmation, Maps, port information, E-tickets plus much more.  I believe you can never have enough information.
Epicurean Restaurant on Azura
The other thing that we wanted to do in advance was to reserve a table for dinner in Azura's Epicurean Restaurant, as this reataurant is popular it is best to make a reservation before your cruise.  We usually like to book a table mid-cruise so for us that is 11th June.  However, that night there is a Euro 2016 football match between England v Russia and as we will be leaving St Peterburg that night we assume that the match will be shown on board; I will be suprised if it isn't.  Because we want to see the match we were sitting last night working out the time difference between England and Russia as +3 hours which means that we have plenty of time to have dinner before kick-off which we have worked out as 11pm (Russian time).  There is a additional surcharge of £28.00pp which is well worth it and they apply your teir discount on top which does make it even less.  We have dined in the Epicurean Restaurant on board Britannia and it was amazing.  The one to one attention and the food ideas and the way your food is presented makes the surcharge well worth it and I would highly recommend it.
The other thing we wanted to do is look for an excursion that let us do our own thing and we found one in Copenhagen which is "free time in three sites".  I think it is self explanatory and we booked that as well.  I'm not sure what else we may book we will do some more research first I think before deciding.
