When did you book? Some with allocated rooms say they have been cancelled.  I am guessing like P&O they will honour the first 1000 pax bookings.

If I have just had an e mail with my cabin allocated,  do you think I am Ok ?

One of the people on FB reported that they got an email saying their cabin had been allocated, then an hour later got an email cancelling them. ☹️

Yikes, that's a little bit worrying that you booked on opening day and have still been cancelled.

I'm so sorry.

Dave K said he got allocated on Sunday and cancelled today. Then Lindylooellalouise booking on first day, none of us are safe 😢

How disappointing for all concerned. I received an email from P&O today, they’re still pushing the Staycations though.

This email:

Where did you see this 🥴 that can’t be right. The 15th has been the earliest on sale for a while now.

P&O main site.

[Dave K]

Just called CPS and asked for refund. No mention of admin fee😁

It is being reported that there is a number to call to rebook a later cruise,  people happy with what they have been able to book.  So fingers crossed it all works out for them

Excellent, I know I checked before I booked and it said if your cruise was cancelled no fee, but I took that to mean the whole cruise.  Another good reason to use CPS.

Can you link it for me please I can’t find any news updates on there.  Or do you mean that’s the earliest that appears to be available under booking? 
the earlier cruises haven’t been available for booking for a while

[Eddie99]

Oh people 😕

Really sorry for you - your trailblazing ambitions squashed

🤞next time

Earliest that appears if you do a cruise search

 

Book a Cruise | Search Cruise Holidays | P&O Cruises (pocruises.com)

 

Must admit I haven't tried doing a dummy booking.  Off to test the water....

Just tested the water... Showing as all cabins sold out.

The earlier cruises aren’t cancelled 😏

official statement

 

In a statement, the company said: 'Due to the government's extension of the passenger capacity limits placed on UK domestic cruises we will have to ask a number of guests booked on Britannia's early UK sailings to change their holiday dates.

'These guests will be contacted directly and will be given a 125% Future Cruise Credit or 100% refund. We are so sorry for these guests and do hope they will be able to enjoy a holiday with us later in the summer.'

 

so now we keep our fingers crossed for no emails….

It's a shame that P&O haven't said how they are choosing who gets cancelled and who doesn't. At least MSC put that in their statement.

The 3 cruises they’re pushing in my email today are:

Britannia 26 Aug

Britannia 5 Sep

Iona 18 Sep

 

So there must be availability on these.
