Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Welcome home and thank you for brightening every day during a dreary few months in Wales. I've looked forward to reading your blog every evening... an unputdownable travel log 😊 Best wishes to you and Lady S. Jane
  2. I too am addicted to your posts, we have great friends who are on board your cruise and it feels as if we are cruising with them and you. Thank you for taking the time, I can't wait for the next episode. Happy cruising!
  3. Thank you for all your responses, my son in laws account has had the 'pending' amount drop off but he has still sent a complaint email to p&o as several of his direct debits were returned because of this with the resultant charges and a detrimental effect to his credit score! As P&O seem to be moving towards a younger demographic of passengers surely they need to realise that many young couples do not have surplus cash to cover these pending transactions... my son in law and my daughter had budgeted carefully for their trip and stayed within their means, however with p&o putting a 'hold' of more than double their spending on their bank account they were left in a dire situation. They may be in the 0.1% that p&o choose to ignore at the moment but as more and more younger people try cruising that percentage will grow and will not be able to be ignored if p&o want to maintain its share of the cruise market. Once again thank you for all your advice and comments. Happy cruising everyone.
  4. Thanks for replying....its going to be a long month until his next pay!
  5. He did.... I didn't even think of that before we all went I could have put my credit card on their account..... Thanks for replying
  6. Oh dear I wish I'd put my card on their cabin account now it would have saved all this grief.....
  7. Hi CarlaMarie We got off Britannia last Thursday & I think it must be the 'hold' amount as the correct amount was debited last Thursday, but it's still being held against his account a week later & it's wiped his account out. He just wants it to be wiped off as he's had direct debits bounced when the money in reality is there, he tried talking to the bank but they said they couldn't help as they'd already authorised what must have been the 'hold' amount. Thank you for replying.
  8. Please can someone help? ... what is the best address to email regarding money taken from my son in laws account in error post their cruise? His account has been cleared out and despite phoning p&o on Saturday morning to resolve the issue when it was discovered, nothing has been resolved and he has been forced to borrow from friends and family to feed his children and put petrol in the car! He's frustrated and angry and embarrassed by the whole situation as he'd budgeted for their cruise and now finds himself with no money and unable to pay bills etc He's written a lengthy email but wants to be sure it goes to the right person. Many thanks if you can help.
  9. So sorry for your loss. Deepest condolences.
  10. I was on Britannia last week as a solo early saver fare and was placed on a table of singles first sitting. For my own reasons I wanted to eat alone and spoke to the rest manager who switched me to freedom.
  11. I had no glass holders or glasses 🙄 On day 5 my daughter asked the cabin steward if she could please have some conditioner...he replied 'it's too late' !! More cutbacks?!
  12. On a cruise on Ventura last year my adult son ordered from the 'adult' MDR menu and the portions were so tiny he finished his meal and then went to the buffet! he never went back to the MDR...
  13. We are taking our 3 year old grandson with us on a family cruise on Ventura in October I really hope this isn't going to be repeated fleet wide! He loves nursery and he'd love Splashers.
