P&O will send a revised invoice to your agent who should forward it to you. Contact your agent. Brian

In Barcelona the port run a shuttle bus which is cheaper than the P&O shuttle if you are on a saver fare. Cost €3 one way, €4.50 return. Look for the blue bus. https://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/faq/cruise-ship-terminals/shuttle-bus-barcelona-cruise-terminal.html Brian

P&O boost the staff numbers for kids clubs by employing teachers for a couple of weeks in the school holidays. They have advantage that they are already security cleared for working with children. Brian

The market is closed at the moment so you are unable to get a live price. The market reopens at 8am Monday Brian

You can call anytime once you have the shares. However they say no earlier than 90 days and no later than 21 days before sail date. Brian

Open the HL Fund & Share account, At the bottom click on “PDF version” This gives it in a format that is easy to edit and paste into an email to P&O Brian

Go to the HL Fund and share account. There are no ongoing charges to hold the shares .There is dealing charge of £11.95 plus stamp duty. There is a very good video in this section which explains the mechanics of share purchases. Brian

I do the same. There is an option to create a .pdf file from my statement, blank out anything that is not relevant and then paste it into an email to P&O. The share price right now is down 1.25% at 696p. This link gives all the information you need https://ask.completecruisesolution.com/help/ext/PO/why-book-with-us/more-info-share-holder Brian

I think you worry too much. You can buy the shares today and apply for the benefit tomorrow. The benefit you get for a 14 day cruise is £150 on P&O and slightly more $250 on Cunard. There is no upper limit on how many cruises you can claim for. Looking to the future it is likely that the share price will increase. Just my opinion-no guarantee. Before the pandemic a dividend of $200 per annum was being paid. The dividend is declared in dollars and for holders of Carnival PLC shares this is converted to sterling at the going rate Brian

Yes it does. Although there is no charge for the coach you have to book it so P&O know how many to cater for. Brian

When you see the bar prices in Norway you might have a heart attack. Brian

Look at it on the iPlayer. Starts around 0935 on the BBC news channel Brian

Oops, sorry. You are perfectly correct. On a sale price of 700p the duty would be £3.50 for 100 shares. Don’t know why shares are quoted in pence but that seems to be the way. Brian

You also have to pay stamp duty tax which is 0.5% of the purchase price - so around £35. Brian

The last dividend paid was 50cents per share paid on 13 March 2020. For UK investors this is converted to pounds for payment. Paid four times a year. Dividends are unlikely to be paid before the large debt has been reduced. Brian

Yes I agree. Currently for a two week cruise it is $250 on dollar based ships (Cunard, Princess etc.) and £150 on sterling based ships which is only P&O. On current exchanged rates it should be around £200. Brian

GSPG I’m not familiar with your pension account but you could possibly do it. However would you be able to sell shares in your pension account should you want to. Personally I think this makes it too complicated. I bought mine on line through a well known finance company. (HL) I can get a print out of my holding at any time or instantly sell at any time. Very simple to operate. Brian

You need to prove ownership of the shares after you have booked a cruise. See link in my post #5 above. Come back if you need more information. Share price was £7.132 at close today Brian

You may get lucky. Some people have been rejected and told to apply within the three month period. P&O are not consistent. Brian

They are not P&O shares but Carnival PLC traded in pounds on the London stock exchanges. Carnival Corporation are American shares traded in dollars on the New York exchange. You want the Carnival PLC shares. You can apply no earlier than three months before sail date and no later than 21 days before sailing. This links gives all the information you need. https://ask.completecruisesolution.com/help/ext/PO/why-book-with-us/more-info-share-holder Brian

You don’t need a special card. A normal UK credit or debit card can be used. Brian

For those where transfer to the airport is not convenient one option to consider, albeit at a small cost, is to do a one way car rental to your home. Enterprise have a depot near the docks and many locations around the UK. Brian

Just make sure you buy Carnival PLC shares traded on the London stock exchange rather than Carnival Corporation shares traded on the New York stock exchange. Brian

This link should answer your questions https://ask.completecruisesolution.com/help/ext/PO/why-book-with-us/more-info-share-holder The benefit is available on all Carnival cruise lines I.e. Cunard, Princess, Holland America, Costa, Carnival, Seaborne, Aida etc. Note the benefit is better on the dollar based ships, (Cunard & Princess) where you get $250 for two weeks compared to £150 on P&O.
