Ever fancied a cruise? Mumsnetters needed for VIP day on Azura, one of P&O Cruises family-friendly ships - all aboard here! NOW CLOSED

Are you tempted by the idea of a cruise but not sure it's right for your family? Why not check it out on dry land for the day and see how you like it...
P&O Cruises have asked to find MNers and their families to attend an exclusive day on Azura, one of their four family friendly cruise ships.

Here's what P&O Cruises say about the ship: "Azura was designed with families in mind, with large children's areas, entertainment and clubs for all ages. Taking a holiday on Azura or one of our other family-friendly ships means that you can have the best of both worlds - fun and companionship for your children whilst stealing some 'me' time for you too."

The event will take place on Saturday 31st August in Southampton and will include:

  • A full day on the ship 10am-2.30pm
  • A tour of the cruise ship
  • Time for your DCs to try the facilities in the children's clubs
  • Full lunch on-board with special surprise guest

Each Mumsnetter will also receive a goodie bag full of treats from the White Company as a thank you and your DCs will also receive a goodie bag of their own.

Those of you who are selected to attend the day will be required to come back to a thread on MN to share your experiences and answer a few questions. We'd also love it if you could take some photos of your day on your smartphone and upload these to the feedback thread so we can see what you got up to.

P&O Cruises would also like those selected to record your day, and will provide MNers with a flipcam and a disposable camera for your DCs to use throughout the day. This footage may be used on the P&O Cruises website, pages on MN, social media channels and possibly in other marketing material so please only sign up if you're happy to do this.

P&O Cruises will pay for your train travel to and from Southampton or there is complimentary parking for all those who will drive to the event, and petrol costs for one car per family will also be covered.

This event is open to all Mumsnetters with at least one child under 16. All Mumsnetters and any child aged 16 or over will have to bring photo ID with them in order to clear standard security procedures.

So if you'd like to attend please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,

MNHQ

Everyone aged 16 and over will need to provide photo ID to clear standard security procedures. I've edited the thread to make this clearer.

500internalerror the footage collected on the day with the flipcam and disposable camera will not be linked to your MN name. If you upload pictures onto the feedback thread feel free to change your MN name for the feedback. You are not required to take any footage which you personally appear in.

@IwishIwasmoreorganised

MNHQ - we go away this weekend for a fortnight. Will we find out before we go if we've been lucky?

Erm. I"m not sure but I will find someone who does know.

We will close this thread later on today and the MNers who are chosen will be notified by the end of tomorrow.

tribpot P&O have provided us with the following response in regard to wheelchair accessibility, "Wheelchair users are very welcome to apply to join the ship visit. P&O Cruises ships are all very wheelchair-friendly and we offer accessible cabins for those travelling with us."

In terms of photo ID, P&O said that the photo ID must be issued by the government, ie. a passport, photo driving licence or government-issued photo bus pass. Anything that is not issued by the government will not be accepted.

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in letting people know if they've been selected. Things are taking slightly longer than anticipated, but bear with me, and I'll get back to you all asap!

Hi, the families have now been selected and emailed. If you have received an email then congratulations! If not, then please be sure to check back on the insight page for more event days later on.
