molecrochip Posted September 17, 2020 #478 Share Posted September 17, 2020 There is also an update on Iona but I’m not at liberty to share. Rumours of a further dry dock are continuing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the meeting on Tuesday with the minister was not as positive as publicised. I'm sorry about that Molecrochip...I'd held off - just mainly out of principle as it was due Sunday, so at least it's only a couple hundred for us in the refund queue as opposed to about four thousand. At least it's certainty but jesting aside, it is disappointing news. I might wait and see what the new brochure says, given that they'll be a long wait anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermotsgirl Posted September 17, 2020 #486 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I don’t know why he bothered with that video, half of it was waffle, and the other half didn’t give specific ship detail. He said to look on the website - I did and there’s nothing blindingly obvious about an announcement. no email for me as yet, so I guess my pesky March Iona cruise is still on at the moment!

No pager thank you Posted September 17, 2020 #490 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Two important points to note amongst the fluff: 30th November 2020 remains the date on the P&O Cruises website for you to request a 100% cash refund if your cruise has been cancelled, either arising from this or a previous pause. The above point not mentioned in the video; this information was correct as of a few minutes ago. In practice, this should mean that you can review the new brochure before choosing, but you will not have too long to decide. All time based guarantees appear to have been withdrawn relating to the timeliness of refunds. In practice, this should probably mean activating a "chargeback" 14 days after the refund request is made, as no clear timeline for a refund is being provided. This has been accepted by my CC company previously, but not all experiences are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton departure cruises cancelled til early February. Arcadia / Aurora cancelled til March. Will be official at 10am. I now believe Iona will start by sailing to Norway late March. Nice to see you back, even though it's not good news. Is it just coincidence that there were talks between the government and P&O just before these announcements were made, and that was the reason for the delay? No Southampton sailings until early February? That's 5 months! It's the longest P&O have announced at one time. It must have had something to do with the meeting. It will have been one year since all this began. Still looking positive for Arcadia's Norway in June 🤞 Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
