Bin man

I agree whole heartedly with you on that .Would rather have the cruise reduced a bit further .Its hard to spend if you don't drink like us or go on any excursions .We had £810 last year bought a new phone £300 at the time was cheaper onboard and bought xmas presents with the rest pandora etc but still ended up with a bit to spend on the chocolates overpriced as you say.

Have you checked today's latest offers

Now we have the next promotion live today £600 obc for balcony on Iona cruise but the select price has increased about the same amount with same cabins available. So the offer is about the same .Notice if you decided to take the saver option you cannot get your car booked with cps only taking select booking .So still thinking will it change anymore ? Last year we booked this similar offer and was reduced again after booking can't win really just have to grin and bear it .

Thats what I did as well as others on this particular question. It was there IT systems that threw up this offer that nobody could book as the true offer was only £240 in my case and not the £600 that was showing because of the IT system being wrong and taking 3 to 4 days to get it corrected. Its strange as this cruise same date last year on same ship was £660 obc so I thought history was repeating itself not so lucky this time .

Then obviously they have increased the capacity which is good will report how many available on cruise day at 10 am not that affects me only having a small hybrid

Well last year we always stop at Watford gap and if I remember correctly there were 6 and all taken up by cars will see if they have increased the capacity later on this year

Yes pretty good all round never driven an automatic in 52 years of driving got on with it pretty much straight away that was after realising to put foot on brake to be able to shift gear lever into drive . I did take out a service plan also for the first ever time guaranteeing 2 years service 2 mot and 2 years AA cover gives piece of mind on the battery

Yep I got the same impression unfortunately. It was the first time in booking 32 cruises I thought I would check what they would say if I tried to book direct as my travel agent could only get the £240 obc and she looked it online and could see the £600 obc that wasn't correct that I saw .Never mind I will keep tracking and see if they make a new offer next week and book via my TA

It's not an issue at present I Guess ,but as more and more vehicles come on stream it may become one who's to say maybe the battery milage will increase and be able to do a round trip of 480 miles in my case

How will we all go on at cps when all our cars need electric charging for return home .Might not bother me in my life time although gone hybrid with a year old yaris and loving the test of marks out of a 100 and getting av 72 mpg and even saw 99 mpg on one trip

Took them 3 to 4 days to rectify on the site .This does not give you confidence to book any offers that appear

Checked the p and o website this morning now showing correct obc so finally got it right at present. Will see if they make any better offers in the next few days

What was the cruise no .If it was a Mediterranean cruise that was a different offer double obc for arvia and Britannia cruises which ends if booked before 31st July if that helps

Screen shot of offer selecting car parking on a select standard balcony cabin doesn't say upto £600

Just tried to book a iona cruise balcony Oct 23 with £600 obc was only £240 yesterday tried booking through my TA when we got to the end came up as only £240 seems P and O glitch in the system .Tried it on the p and o Web site and now comes up as an error cannot book for 5 ring in and speak to the Holland and American line rep They really know how to unsettle the apple cart .Have been monitoring this cruise for 6 weeks and thought this was a great offer very much the same price paid last year when we got £660 obc .Took screen shots of the offer and rang direct got through and spoke to sales on p and o and confirmed they had made some kind of mistake on the obc .So I declined to make the booking and asked to send me the quote

I always used to do dummy bookings but now use the base price and add on the location price onto it from the deck plans. Try not to do it incase someone is trying to book the cabin and can't see it because of my dummy booking if that makes sense

Thanks for that interesting to read .Gone the hybrid automatic yaris range so will see what happens in 3 years time .We only did 5k in 3 years yaris is running at 70 miles per gallon so won't break the bank on petrol but maybe servicing costs highern

Talking cars my clio bought 3 years ago was 1 year old with 5k on clock for £13700 I px for a toyota yaris hybrid 1 year old and now its up for sale in Manchester renault for £13,800 with 10 k on the clock how do they do it these car dealers?

No to be used onboard only

The queue has now gone guess that was the peak after a few buses had arrived

Just monitoring the queue at the ocean terminal looks rather long at 2.45pm

You will be fine on Iona. I would not think there will be to many children onboard .May be a few younger children .We did arcadia twice one balcony and one inside which was the smallest inside we had ever done .We thought we would not like the bigger ships how wrong we were.Done iona twice Oct 21 and Oct 22 .looking again 23

I have worked it out .Changed to chrome Internet system and it worked

Hi David63 I am still struggling to find where you mean I have got to the summary page under a dummy booking and I can only see edit cabin which goes to select cabin and location so I'm stumped like the English batsman Bairstow

Just had a look and although the site has changed how you navigate through booking procedure cannot see the whole deck at once only by section so give us a clue what we are missing sounds good if you could see each deck at once
