They cost $17,000 dollars each How many have we ordered? Apparently we have one small manufacturer with 40% of the market. Probably just three. Johnson, his latest woman, and Dominic Cummings.

We are booked on E007 which is the next departure that's not yet cancelled, so hoping they're discussing that now and we'll hear from them soon!

As they have technical gone on the cruise but that is one massive significant change. ive seen them say they will automatically get 125% fCC but if I was on that ship I would be livid that they had still gone ahead. It’s not like they haven’t known how many ports and boarders are closed. I would want my money not future credit. I would expect that they will be given a full refund plus the FCC even if they stay on board. In this case a refund is likely legal minimum however, the enhanced FCC is the goodwill gesture which some will prefer. If they do stay on board, it's not the cruise they booked. It's unlikely that there were be any rotation of guest entertainers etc. due to travel restrictions. P&O will be glad just to receive bar money on the trip.

Just been looking at Carnival’s 2017 accounts (latest I could find online) and their total revenue was $17.5 billion about 25% of which came from onboard and other (non fare) sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Morgan Posted March 14, 2020 #1989 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I think its also important to consider which ports/countries are still open as opposed to waiting for P&O to make cancellations official. Off the top of my head, affected ports/countries in the P&O network are: - Spain (closed) - Portugal (closed to non Portuguese nationals) - Italy (closed) - Malta (open but all arrivals subject to mandatory 14 day quarantine) - France (open) - Greece (open) - Croatia (open) - UK (open) - Norway (some ports closed, could be all) - Caribbean islands (currently open) Again this is just off the top of my head given its a fluid situation but based on the list I don't see many options available based on current itineraries and when you consider all of the major players are suspending service for at least 30 days and as such there's going to be a vast parking lot of ships in a variety of ports.

I can definitely confirm Britainnia's cruise schedule. My friend was due out on B007. This morning she's had a call from her TA confirming that Britainnia is returning to Southampton and her cruise B007 is cancelled. Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestGuessed Posted March 14, 2020 #1992 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I have looked at the website and at present I can’t see anything about what is happening to us on board Oceana. We have just had an announcement from the entertainment manager to say there is a sail away party about to happen on top deck and info about tonight’s shows. He made a flippant comment about sailing to Shangri La and the Islands of Atlantis which is neither appropriate or funny. We have no idea what they have planned for us now which is very unnerving in my opinion. Nothing from the Captain himself during the last 24 hours.

I would hazard a guess that you're headed back to Southampton either direct or via another brief stop (Channel Islands maybe?) as I can't think of any ports along the way that will be open or worth visiting given the current climate in the countries in your current area.

Captain_Morgan Posted March 14, 2020 #1994 Share Posted March 14, 2020 on the company site at the bottom of the page: We have decided to cancel Oceana’s current cruise to Spain & Portugal. This is due to port restrictions being imposed on cruise ships. Oceana’s upcoming cruises are under review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestGuessed Posted March 14, 2020 #1995 Share Posted March 14, 2020 At last our captain has just made an announcement.... We will be heading back to Southampton to arrive on Wednesday. So we finally we know what is happening. I am so relieved that we will be getting back home next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeanlyon Posted March 14, 2020 #2000 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) OK, so Trump has changed it slightly. It now says Trump is considering it. He just said, yes we are considering it and it will start on Monday. I don't think they know what they are doing. Now says, Trump says travel restrictions to UK to be announced.
