😆 yes that's exactly what me and hubby said to one another!

Unfortunately the fare was £1000 more expensive, a rather lot imo. 😏

Thank you Megabear2. This is what I generally meant. I knew Saver fare couldn't specify exact cabin, deck etc that's the point of the two fares and I knew it is a risk, and many people aren't willing to gamble on it, but if you can select a general area/cabin grade then we would be happier to book Saver. I would never expect P&O to negotiate booking a certain cabin after choosing Saver fare, I just wondered if anyone had experience of changing to a different cabin before sailing within the same grading, albeit paying a supplement if it were deemed to be a better general positioning.

Yes, like everything in life, it's all subjective and personal choice. I was just putting it out there to see what the consensus of opinion was and if there were any great differences in the fares that I wasn't aware of.

On saver fare, prior to your sailing you are allocated a dreaded cabin (for me, Forward and low decks) is there any negotiation with P&O to change within the grade, has anyone had experience of this?

It's Arvia, not sure how that works on saver fare? Are you assigned a time? Can you not do freedom dining?

Hi, we're considering between Saver and Select fare atm for cruise in March 2023. Difference is £1000 in price. Taking away the offered obc choosing our cabin is costing £420 extra for a 14 night cruise. Not sure if its worth that extra in today's financial climate? We just can't decide. We've always chosen our cabins before but as they are inside cabins we're considering if it is worth it.
