TBH MB, this is the only place I see this issue, and I imagine for most people this will also be the case. So any rumbling on is likely to have a limited impact on potential P&O passengers.

We have had the same problem, I just put it down to the usual P&O IT inadequacies.

Sounds credible, but experience tells me that PR comes quite a long way down the importance list for P&O, and it seems to have served them very well over the last 20 years.

If they are filling their ships,despite the Maleth problems, then why would they feel the need?

I would rate that possibility as very high, and then Maleth mark 2 would be able to takeover the airline, free of any outstanding compensation.

I assume your saver booking has been taken into account in the sold out numbers.

How do you cope with those websites that require a regular password change, and you need to know the old password to change to a new one? As far as my initial post, I have now sorted out the problem.

We switched to Eurosport this morning and found they were showing the swimming, whereas the Beeb was concentrating on Gymnastics, and then ping pong!!!

If there are any experts out there, I need some help to get my Chrome passwords working on my new phone. I managed fairly easily on a new tablet some 6 months ago, but after dozens of attempts on this new phone, I am stumped. Sync is on but the new phone is not recognising the existing passwords, only the odd new one I have input on the new phone, although when I dig deep on Settings they are listed, but not when using chrome. The 'smartswtich' also did not copy over the bookmarks, but maybe like passwords its assumed these will be available in your browser, but again they ain't.

I do agree that it's hardly likely anyone will see a penny in compensation, however I am not sure the rules should apply to charter flights. The EU brought this in to encourage scheduled airlines to make more effort to operate on time. I am not convinced this should apply to charter flights where the cost is pared to the bone because the assumption is that the same aircraft will operate the return leg regardless of whether this will run late if the first flight is delayed.

The weather is appalling and rather spoiling the spectacle.

We did a similar trip, and actually found the Rockies to be far more spectacular than mainland Alaska. Although the Glaciers and the calving was exceptional.

With only 5.5 million population and huge oil reserves, it's easy for them to be generous.

Are you sure you dont live in Iceland?😉😎

As far as PR is concerned P&O has a hide like an elephants.

It could along with sufficient battery storage to provide the necessary back up

That's fine for land based users, but what about cruise ships, what would be the battery size needed to cover a transatlantic or Pacific crossing, which would be the minimum needed to make them viable.

Unless someone decides to build a nuclear powered cruise ship I imagine emission free ships will need to be electric. But can you imagine the size of the batteries needed for a ship as big as Iona?

17 deg here at present with expected high of 19, but no sun until later this evening. However it certainly feels warmer than June was, and quite pleasant when the sun is out, unfortunately not too often.

I doubt the crew listen to his broadcasts, and they are primarily intended for the passengers anyway, and only regular cruisers will have heard them before. He was certainly more entertaining and noticeable than many of the other Captains we have sailed with.

Possibly a scammer trying to hook you in!

Eavesway have now stopped offering coach travel òn some of the P&O ships definitely stopped Iona cruises because numbers are not enough, although they are still offering Aurora cruises.

I would hope that is correct, as we also have a cruise sailing in January.

I think they rolled up the Portunus points into the starting points for the new Peninsular loyalty scheme. So the history only started in 2012.

I do wish that P&O customer service dept would provide comprehensive and thorough training to all their staff when they bring in any new systems. In fact I would really like them to think through new systems before they implement them, and ensure they have identified all potential issues that might result from the new system implementation. Maybe then they would realise how infuriating ill thought out and implemented systems are to their passengers
