samur Posted September 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Does anyone know exactly how far in advance you can pre-book seats. P&O website really confusing as in one part of cruise personaliser it states 14 weeks prior to your cruise and then further down it states 9 weeks. If my memory serves me correctly the last few years have been 12 weeks. thanks:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurakdy Posted September 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2015 You are so right Samur. It did used to be 12 weeks. We have the 14 & 9 week bit as well. Makes no sense but we've also been sent a letter advising that we can book 14 weeks in advance and the date we can do this from/on. Hope this helps.

soraya Posted September 16, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 16, 2015 We got an email a week before our flight seat booker opened telling us when it would open. It opened just after midnight 14 weeks before our cruise. Also if you're Baltic and Liguirian (sp?) yu can book before everyone else. Whe we went onto ours, there were some seats already booked at 12.05! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annieuk Posted September 16, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 16, 2015 On my Cruise Personaliser it says that seats will be available to book 14 weeks before our cruise which is in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NauticalMiss Posted September 16, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It can be very confusing - Is it 9 weeks? Is it 12 weeks? Do we count back from the outbound flight or the inbound flight? Did I miss an email changing the timescales? All these things just add to passengers' confusion. Recently we had an actual date stating exactly when we could book seats. Much more helpful.

storeman Posted September 25, 2015 #12 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Just Booked our seats On Dreamliner we depart on 1st Jan 2016 from Glasgow to Barbados vie Britannia cost of each seat £ 20 one way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickpo Posted September 25, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi storeman, we go on the 2nd so I'll be up till midnight tonight and hopefully I'll have mine booked a couple of minutes later. Getting closer now, just over 3 months to go, can't wait. Looking forward to Christmas and new year at home with the family, then on the 1st an overnight stay at an airport hotel (even though its only 20 mins away from us), nice breakfast included and then a free scuttle bus to the terminal for a 11.10am flight. Would have preferred an earlier flight so I could stroll down to the duty free but I can always pick a bottle or two up at Manchester. Hope you have a great cruise, I know that I certainly will.

PJ's Posted September 26, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 26, 2015 We also stayed up last night to book our seats. We fly on 2nd Jan from Manchester. Shame the flight is not earlier but we also will probably get a couple of bottles from Manchester as don't think we will arrive in Barbados in time to go to the duty free in the port.

rickpo Posted September 26, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Looks a good deal storeman, have a great evening, at least the flight isn't to early for you, but there again I'm sure you wouldn't dream of over indulging. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annieuk Posted September 29, 2015 #18 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I posted earlier in this thread that on my Cruise Personaliser it states that flight seats will be available to book at 14 weeks beforehand. This is still correct, it does. However, yesterday I was looking on my Cruise Personaliser again and after clicking on to Itinerary it still says 14 weeks, then just for interests sake I clicked on Flight Details. There it tells me that seats will be available to book 9 weeks in advance!! I will be looking at exactly 14 weeks before our flight date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, As I posted yesterday, on the P&O website under Help/Advice (pre purchase flight seats), there is a Flight Seat Booker Release Schedule that tells you exactly when you can pre book your seats, does it by Cruise number At the moment it is up to December, but just check on there and you will know for sure when you can book seats :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask, because our CP stated the same, i.e. 14 weeks prior, then 9 weeks prior. But we subsequently received an email from P&O with the exact date which was 14 weeks prior. When I logged in on the specified date, the flight seats were available to be booked. So maybe you'll also get a generic email with the exact date which will settle any confusion for you.

annieuk Posted September 30, 2015 #21 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Nautical Miss - we are flying in mid February so if it's 14 weeks it will be in December some time - we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-Sheffield Posted October 5, 2015 #22 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) And remember the seat booker goes live at midnight on the day it becomes available. Edited October 5, 2015 by Mark-Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
