  1. Hence why I don't use T/A's anymore. Had horrendous time with one of the biggest trying to get money back from a cruise that was cancelled by Princess. Eventually claimed through Credit Card company.
  2. Try and make a purchase with your old card. If it doesn't work, then it won't work when P%O try and take the balance. Don't wait until final payment day, as it is possible P%O's system will cancel your booking and you will lose your deposit. So on final payment due day, just pay the balance with your new card.
  3. In summer it's easy to hang them out, in winter we have the heated towel rail. Not so easy on a ship.
  4. Indeed. Not to mention their names have the same amount of letters and syllables, and they both end in LOW, which is the same as the chances of completing the itinerary as booked.
  5. Oh no! Please don't link this card in any way with P&O. Just imagine being carted off the ship into an ambulance, you flash the card, "sorry Mr. Fountain, we've had to cancel your trip to Marseille Royal Infirmary, we are going to Toulon Geriatric Unit, due to operational reasons".
  6. Originally a flagship would be the ship in a naval group which carries the Commanding Officer. This is why you often get the Commodore on the flagship, as the Commodore ranks above a Captain. but below a Rear Admiral.
  7. Ha Ha, I was reading your post and up until the last sentence I actually thought you were praising the cruise. I think it would be great to go on your balcony at 3.00 am and find you're not moving. I'd have sat their until breakfast. As peaceful as life gets I reckon.
  8. I bet he cancels this and moves it to another t/a site. For operational reasons.
  9. I couldn't do that. I'd never be able to spell it for the sat nav. That's why I thought of Aix. 😊
  10. Is it a P&O excursion? If so they would adjust times to suit anyway.
  11. Yes me too. Thinking of driving there for a couple of weeks next year.
  12. Somebody might come on with a definative answer, but my guess would be 8.00 - 9.00 am. If you read through the P & O board, you will soon realise that there is a reasonable risk of ports being missed or swapped. I would only plan activities where you don't stand to lose money if the worst should happen.
  13. Toss of a coin for us. Eventually we plumped for Aix. To be honest it's not really long enough there, and 1 hour is a guided tour, which I hope we can skip. I really hate guided tours, I get bored and can hardly ever hear what they are saying. The prices do seem reasonable though.
  14. There just having operational issues at the moment.
  15. Are you sure zap? I have them showing, and booked one.
  16. Was the extra OBC because of the itinerary change, and if so have they replaced a stop with another, or are you now a port short?
  17. You could be right, but I doubt that is the reason. Can't see them saving that much by swapping ports.
  18. They are two different cruises. Not identical at all.
