Peninsular Club

[jeanlyon]

I have a question. My friend will be doing her first cruise with P&O this October which is 14 nights. so she will not qualify for the Peninsular Club. She is doing another one next April for 14 nights, so can I assume that the first 14 nights still count towards her total and she would then have 280 points at the end of the second cruise?

 

Probably a stupid question but need to know.

That's what my maths tell me :)

Yes I thought so, but I'm tired and couldn't get my head round it. LOL

Her peninsular discount won't start until after her next cruise as you have to have 150 points to qualify. She could always try and squeeze a little 2 or 3 nighter in before her next 14 night cruise!

We did a 14 night cruise then a 3 night short cruise so that we qualified for the next 2 week cruise.

The discount may be small but it's worth having....

No she wouldn't want to do that. She's cruised many times, just not with P&O.

If any of her previous cruises were with Princess, Sitmar or Ocean Village, they will also generate points - but at 5 points per day instead of 10.

Is that still the case following the changes to P&O's Peninsular Club a couple of years ago? My sister & her husband are looking at P&O cruises and have points from previous cruises with Princess so we'd be interested to know if their points are of any use with P&O.

As far as i know Princess points do not count toward your Peninsular club level but they do the other way round. I booked Emerald Princess for next year and am at almost the top level of the Captains circle. This seems crazy to me, why discrimate against P%o cutomers?

 

Another gripe is cruise solo on Princess and you get double the points if occupying a double cabin for single occupancy :confused:

No other cruises are counted in Peninsular Club except those done with P&O. Princess accept cruises done on P&O at the moment but I am led to believe that it is also going to change so P&O cruises dont count towards their Captain's Circle Club but dont know when that change is coming into force.

My mistake - I was remembering the "good ol' days" of the Portunus Club.

 

I've checked the P&O web site - and yes, you are right.

They do say in the Terms & Conditions that they may give bonus points. I wonder,as she has two more cruises booked, whether they would consider that. Have my doubts though.

[majortom10]

The only time that I have known P&O give out bonus points to their loyalty club was back in the POSH Club days they gave you extra points if you sailed on Aurora maiden cruise.
