I imagine TUI flight schedulers did not want a delay of that length because of the subsequent "knock on" effect for the rest of the flights over the weekend.

Actually, P&O have very little choice of airlines. BA is a non-starter for charter work, other than from LGW.

I think you booked too late. Club class mini suites sell out very early.

Or you could just stop posting the same message on numerous threads.

Can't imagine who you are talking about !

You keep posting the same comments. After a while your agenda becomes a little boring. .

However, people outside your cabin can hear you. Be careful !

Thanks for explaining it. I thought it was so obvious that no explanation was necessary.

Well, the clue is that your geographic location says United States.

I bet the Captain will be pleased to get back to Southampton and get some sleep !

Sorry Moley, but the term "exposed learnings " is management speak for a complete catastrophe, P&O knew how many people were on board, knew exactly where and when those passengers would be dining, and the entire system collapsed. It's not as if there was a sudden influx of unexpected diners. Why were people not getting Christmas Dinner until 23:30 ? Basically, it is a PR disaster for P&O. The mainstream press have got hold of the story, and the PR department need to control the narrative ( great phrase!) asap.

Jane - welcome back to your happy place ! We have missed you. Hopefully you will have a glass or two of Adnams when in Southwold.

Madeira I think. All the ships arriving for NYE fireworks.

Pah ! My wife has built an aviary from corks and gin bottle tops !

So why is it always Arcadia that appears to have these problems ?

No, not that one. I would get thrown out of the MDR if I told that one !

Haven't seen these since the introduction of Princess Plus.

Not like you to be so optimistic Harry ! Three weeks is not a lot of time to correct what appear to be significant management and personnel issues.

So the same public toilets that were blocked in April are still blocked due to wet wipes ? Even P&O can't use that as an excuse!

Isn't there a classic management saying that revolves a lot of "P's" !

Of course, when you get to ships the size of Iona, a small proportion, say 10%, equates to 500 passengers ! That makes for a lot of unhappy individuals.

That's the treble with productive ticks.

Same problems as we had in April ! The age of Arcadia is showing !

Stop it ! You are making me blush !
