Cruise Critic Awards

[smj777]

CC awards for 2017 are announced. P&O hardly get a mention in any category.

 

Now I know that these things are subjective and there are no anti-awards for the worst, but PandO should surely be trying to up their game in the categories that can be improved - food quality etc.

 

We'll still do P&O because there is so much to like, convenience, kettles, own drinks allowed and so on, but are they falling behind in comparison with other lines?

I take these awards with a pinch of salt. To be able to compare lines you need to cruise on them all, how many people can say they have done that?

TUI will be pleased, not that it matters

why don't the smilies work ?

P&O

 

 

 

have a much smaller fleet and then for fewer passengers than say Celebrity or RCL. They do get a mention in a couple of categories though.

Looking forward to seeing for myself in May as I have recently changed my Fjords cruise from RCL to P&O and saved myself £1400 in the process.

Aren't the majority of users of this site from the US? Many of them have probably barely heard of P&O, which doesn't seem to market itself in America very much, unlike Cunard. So I'm not surprised that P&O doesn't much feature.

Probably referring to the fact that Thomson Spirit won in three categories.

Maybe P&O cruisers who enjoy their cruises should make a point of leaving good reviews?

I thought the same when I saw the awards however for TUI to get an award with their tiny fleet must mean the awards are based on British cruiser opinion doesn't it? I don't know the answer but I would love to know the basis for the awards. Have they only gathered the opinion of Brits? I wish they would be open about it.

Not so tiny, TUI have 6 ships dedicated to the British market this summer.

 

TUI Discovery

TUI Discovery 2

Thomson Dream

Thomson Celebration

Thomson Spirit

Thomson Majesty

 

The last two are leaving the fleet at the end of this summer season with a yet to be named replacement arriving next summer? (currently Mein Schiff 1).

 

The Thomson ships are gradually being rebranded to TUI.

 

Why do TUI win so many awards? For entertainment I think that on balance the TUI show teams are more talented than the P&O ones.

An opinion influenced by cruising 19 times on P&O and 16 times on Thomson !.
