Balernocalling Posted February 27, 2020 #79 Share Posted February 27, 2020 5 hours ago, Selbourne said: Again, sorry to sound like the voice of doom, but I would think the exact opposite would be the case. As they will be trying to impress all the trade press, travel agents etc (especially given a lot of the negative pre PR about Iona from a lot of regular cruisers), I would be absolutely staggered if they didn’t start their cabin allocations for the ‘shake down cruises’ with suites and work down. When I have seen reviews of new ships they are often suites. Also, they will want to make damned sure that those guests paying top dollar get a good first impression, so will want to have ‘snagged’ suites as a priority. To end with a positive, at least if we all get quarantined you will have more walls to climb! 😉 I think if they want to showcase any particular cabins it may be the conservatory suites as this is a new concept.

Fully paid not cancelling, unless P&O decide it for us. After reading this thread I looked at what my cruise is going for now, I wish I hadn't. It has gone down significantly from when I booked a few months ago. This could be The 'C' word or the normal filling up of cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted February 27, 2020 #81 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) And mine is still £400 pp more than we paid. Maybe yours it's because it's the Canaries and there are lots of those cruises? We are the 19 days before you. I am not including the Saver Fare, only the Select. The Saver fare on ours is about £50 more than we paid, but we have £220 OBC between us. Edited February 27, 2020 by jeanlyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha whiskey Posted February 27, 2020 #82 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Another fully paid up member here. Sail at the end of March and again at the end of April. No intention of cancelling. Have been looking forward to it for far too long! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydee6969 Posted February 27, 2020 #83 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Booked and paid for B2B starting 10th April, we will be going. Can't wait to get on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glittergal1 Posted February 27, 2020 #84 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I think anyone cruising on Oceana May 28th should cancel especially as it is going to Venice, the more passengers who cancel means it gives us a better chance of a free cabin upgrade 😁 so cancel away folks as it could get far worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there goes your upgrade. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danamis Posted February 27, 2020 #86 Share Posted February 27, 2020 We have three booked for this year, the first being on Azura on 19th April. Have no plans whatsoever of cancelling and really looking forward to them. If P and O decide to cancel us for any reason we would just book for later in the year.

zoe sproodle Posted February 27, 2020 #88 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Has anyone else had an email from P & O today outlining the steps they are taking to counter corona? I'm interpreting it as trying to reassure but also hinting that some port changes may be expected. In our case it refers to our cruise to the med on Azura at the end of June which has a couple of stops in Italy. I've yet to pay the balance on it yet but I intend doing so and, like others, it will only be P & O who cancel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vampiress88 Posted February 27, 2020 #89 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Husband has just said he wants to cancel ours 😒 we we have paid the full amount. He isn’t worried about the virus but that we specifically wanted the canaries and won’t be happy if we change to somewhere else. The email we have just received hasn’t helped. I know it’s the greater good but we don’t particularly want medical tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 5 cruises booked with P&O, with 2 in April this year, however they chose our Iona cruise in June this year to Norway and our Arcadia trip in October 2021 for Northern lights.

You are absolutely right, I've just checked again and I've got 2 emails, one for June and one for Oct 21 to the Canaries, but nothing for the 3 we have booked between those 2.

No he has said he hopes they will just refund us. I think he’s crazy. He says the virus will get worse before it gets better. His immune system is great. The kids are so so and mine is shocking. Hes more worried about the itinerary changing as we booked it specifically for Tenerife and there are a lot of ports that we have been to that we wouldn’t want to repeat. Hed rather have the £2.5k back. I think that it would drive me crazy to cancel a holiday and we’d not get a deal like that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
