At least MSC put that in their statement. I agree, it seems so odd to be cancelled with an opening day booking. 😧😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave K Posted June 17, 2021 #1403 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I wonder if P&O are doing the cancellations in order of loyalty tier, i.e starting with Pacific level 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat747 Posted June 17, 2021 #1404 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Funnily enough I thought we may get cancelled on our 11th July cruise as we didn’t book that long ago but we seem to have been allocated a cabin today so fingers crossed. It wasn’t showing on the booking summary but was there under Life on Board. We haven’t had email confirmation of this yet though Edited June 17, 2021 by Kat747 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can’t be that, did you book direct or with a TA? I wish P&O would be upfront and open about the criteria. I have BLC discount it makes sense to cancel me and sail with passengers paying full fare.

I suppose it would be easier to accept a fully cancelled cruise than just wondering why you’ve been selected. I wonder whether they’ll explain how they’ve gone about this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindylooellalouise Posted June 17, 2021 #1414 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I wonder how many cancelled bookings there actually are how many pax did P&O think they could get on board whilst still promising to abide by all the protocols 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandancer Posted June 17, 2021 #1418 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Booked today for the 29th August cruise on Britannia. Only our 2nd P&O cruise but a week at sea, eating drinking and being entertained is something to look forward to. Hoping that as this is way after the new freedom day on 20th July, it will go ahead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are keeping fingers crossed that they capped passenger numbers appropriately. Though with both lines, other companies in their groups, have not been so prudent (RCI are also cancelling passengers on their Southampton sailings I believe). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydee6969 Posted June 17, 2021 #1422 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I have also been dumped off the 18th July cruise by P&O. I had expected it as we paid a Friends and Family fare, part of those terms are you may get dumped due to various reasons. But no FCC, just an automatic refund. Still I did manage to get through to someone at my 5th attempt and booked onto the 3 night cruise on the 22nd and still in a suite. Only 3 nights instead of 4, but still want to get on board. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey16 Posted June 17, 2021 #1423 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Yes I saw that but can’t make those dates thank you Kev , my husband has now booked a hotel in London , the Mayfair Town house hotel which was on tv last week on special places to stay , we actually booked for October and booked a show the phantom of the opera ( for the 14 th time ) and the shard visit and dinner at the Ritz hotel , so we will go up on Monday 28th to try the hotel out first and chill doing other visits. I will be applying for a refund and not a fcc , cancelling our car parking tomorrow. At least I have another one to look forward to on princess 17 th September,. Not looking forward to unpacking my suit cases now 😢😤 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted June 17, 2021 #1425 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Thank you Eddie, my anger is fading now and I feel sorry for all the others that are in the same boat as me , we had our October 3 days in London all booked and planned, my husband has just booked again at the hotel in Mayfair and we will do some different things than planned in October, I’m just a bit anxious about going to London at this time . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
