There should be pool towels in your cabin.

Irons are not permitted in cabins for safety reasons. I can't remember if there is a laundry with ironing facilities on this ship, but perhaps another member will be able to answer.

there isnt a self service laundry on the destiny , but you can send stuff to be ironed in the bag supplied in your cabin.

We're now booked up for the 10th Nov cruise on Destiny - only 3 and bit weeks away :D

Really looking forward to it. Decided not to do AI based on prices and the fact that we will probably do a number of excursions as it's all new to us! Thanks for all the advice. 8)

Is the policy on the ship if you go off you all have to go- or if booked into the kids club can they still go to it?

Hi, we are looking forward to our cruise on Destiny on the 10th November and are well-armed with all the advice provided by this forum :D However, I have another question; can anyone let me know if there are daytime activites for adults, dance classes in particular? I like to do a bit of Salsa when on my hols :hyper
Reply
There are usually about 4 different dance classes at least, each on different days.

Hi Sunseeker.
You don't all have to go off the ship together, BUT, if your kids are in the Kids Club, then there must be one adult left on board. On the signing in sheet you write down whereabouts you will be in case they need you.
The policy is that you should not leave any children on board unsupervised.

When we went in the summer there were people leaving young teens on their own whilst they went ashore. After seeing several accidents, people slipping and banging their heads, and fainting in the heat. I am not sure I would consider leaving older kids on board on their own.
Reply
I think older kids would be ok on their own, depending on how long the adults would be off the ship.

Totally agree Duncan- older ones can be more sillier- and you are right if they had an accident it is not fair on the ship to take responsibility.
I do agree with the policy and was really suprised when I heard that yes you can leave.....
Checked in brochure and it is clear about it all. We are fine about it- but I know others whom are going intend to leave theirs......... little do they know :roll: :roll:
What is the Barcelona stop like too- as ours wish to go to the footie stadium whilst there. Me- I want the Shops :D

According to Teletext Page 317, there has been a major plumbing problem onboard the Destiny this week affecting many passengers.

Oh no, just heard about this! And there was me promising Jeccabean she'll have a fantastic first cruise! I'm gutted for her :oops:
Reply
Has anyone got any more info about this problem on Destiny? There was nothing on Teletext page 317 when I looked.
Reply
Only what I've posted above. It was definitely still on Teletext at the time I posted, but I was surprised it was still there as I actually read it for the first time last night.

** Edit - It is still on page 317 at the time of writing in the Stv television region. **
