100% agree that being forced to buy 2 drink packages when 1 person in the cabin doesnt drink is unfair. 

 

Far too open for abuse to allow only 1 person to buy it though. 

 

 Celebrity allow you to buy one 1 package or 2 different  ones per cabin

Well somebody has made an error because it clearly states in T&Cs on Blue Light Card website that to get OBC you have to book a Select Price holiday and are not applicable to Early Saver or Saver fares.

The 50% discount is only on the 7 for staycation cruises so perhaps it is the same for the Blue Light Card

I booked Early saver as that was all that was available on line. I  had to phone P&O to add my extra Defence Discount OBC to be told that they were offering a 50% discount on the staycation cruises, which I agreed to take and forfeit the OBC.

Thanks Shmoo here

I just phoned P&O to get my DDS OBC added, the agent told me that they are offering 50% of all the staycation cruises if you have the defence card.  She kindly rebooked me so it was quite a saving  but no onboard credit😂

We have a 3 night cruise booked at the end of July on The Magic, what are the things I shouldn't miss.

Do the staterooms have kettles and what type of electric sockets do they have?

Thanks

We looked at the train for going to Southampton in July but too many changes with luggage, and coming home on a Sunday could be a nightmare with engineering works. We have decided to drive down. 

Here on the East Coast of Scotland we have the dreaded haar, hopefully it will clear and we will see some sun today.

Just booked a 7 nighter on Iona really looking forward to it. We love sea days so plenty of time to explore a new ship.

We often stop around Newbury on the way down to Southampton, just a short drive in the morning. 

There is a number on the DDS website that you phone to have your OBC applied to your account

Friends in Phoenix Arizona went out for a meal at a restaurant last night.

My daughter and family went out about 10 days ago in Reno, most things are open, the restuarants are only allowed limited capacity. Casino's in Nevada open this week again with limited capacity.

I checked with our Travel insurance company last night about future travel that we have booked and insurance renewal due in a couple of weeks. As long as we renew with them we are fine.

The main things were  your holiday/travel had to be booked before 09.00 on 14 March 2020,  you are not travelling against FCO advice and you have not been told by a doctor not to travel.

We would also be covered if we did contract Covid as our travel was booked before the cut off date.

At least I know we are fully coverd by our insurance if our trip to the US goes ahead. 

 

 

Got the renewal notice today and the insurance is only £90.00 more than last year.

thank you 

yes ‭0800 052 3840‬ is the number I have always called. I got through in less than 3mins. 
 

She said my refund was processed on 13th. That it could take up to 5 working days to go into my credit card. She also explained that as We paid deposit then full then it will go back onto the two separate cards we used 

That is what happened to us the deposit went back to Credit Card the rest into bank.

Congratulations to the couple of posters who have received refunds over the past day. Although the percentage of customers to receive refunds remains tiny (I’d guess at no more than 5%), the vast majority of those who have received funds have been chasing P&O for their money, understandably. As far as I can work out, the number of posters who have not chased P&O at all but have received refunds can be counted on less than the fingers of one hand. In other words, they still seem to be firefighting rather than managing a steady flow, as further evidenced by the fact that the refunds being paid aren’t following any other pattern, such as date of cruise or submission of refund request. 

My husband  only messaged P&O 2 weeks ago, and had an apology by return with the promise to look into the delay. We were very surprised on Wednesday when we got a message to say the payment had been proccessed on Tuesday. I hope P&O now have a better system in place for refunding everyone.

Our refund for R006 11 April has been paid, money went into bank overnight.

That's positive, thanks for letting everyone know.  When did you cancel and when were you supposed to travel?

It was around the end of March we put our claim in  We were due out on Aurora on 11 April. R006

I cancelled on 12th March due to being over 70 and hubby with conditions.  Not received anything yet.

We got a notification today to say our refund had been proccessed yesterday, wonder how long it will be before the money actually reaches the relevant accounts. We were due on the 11 April Aurora cruise

We recieved an email this morning saying our full refund for R006 Aprill 11 cruise was proccessed yesterday. Funds not in bank yet.

Our Travel insurance is due for renewal at the end of the month so will see what they are offering when the renwal comes in. We have flights to the US booked for the end of September to visit family, so we need some cover incase we have to cancel the flights.

Yes I do recall that and as you say in extremis it’s an option, but we weren’t in control of the land there at the time and even if we had been there wasn’t the infrastructure in place, so everything had to be ship based. Very different scenario now and when you have land based options a cruise ship wouldn’t feature as a sensible alternative IMO. 

We just had the Red and Green life machine there, which did an amazing job

Disney have cancelled all cruises until end of May, also their European and Alaska seasons are cancelled.  So I expect most cruise line will be following the same pattern.
