Rare Windsurfboy Posted May 19, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 19, 2021 All phone numbers can be spoofed, be careful if the start by saying before i go on i need proof of identity and tha ask for detail like date of birth. Get them to tell you cruise and booking number first. Beware Scammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink-belle Posted May 19, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Do you have a cruise booked? Not a summer Seacation, but a regular cruise booked select where you selected your room? I wonder if they “want” your room, or one in that category. This has happened to me in the past, they don’t leave messages as they just try the next person on the list.

Unfortunately I am now getting a rash of spam texts, "parcel needs excess mail paying, bank payment rejected etc, ", I guess lots of people fall for these otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them, but they are darned annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s your answer, as Pink-belle said they are probably looking for an accessible state room for someone else so rang to check if you really needed it.

Assuming you do, it may be that they need some rooms for linked bookings so trying to do a little rejig of allocations. I wouldn’t worry about it, you won’t lose your booking if this is the case.

I had similar with a newly issued number. As I understand it, scammers work through a list of new numbers one after the other waiting for people to bite. They stopped after a few weeks of being ignored. Edited May 20, 2021 by crompton21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, and you can use computers to generate and call phone numbers without any human involvement. The idea that some human is laboriously going through a list of numbers to tell me that my internet connection is unsafe, is fanciful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have a special room requirement, and you are due to sail on a ship with no publicly confirmed restart date, I would call the main P&O number and ask the agent to look on the booking for any notes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear, that sounds a tad ominous to me. I thought the re start date is basically the date that the next, uncancelled cruise is due to depart. I am sure it is sound advice to the OP though. I have partly decided to write this comment as I am aware Fred has just cancelled his world cruise on Borealis for early next year, though I doubt any of us really thought those longer future cruises would go ahead unchanged.

molecrochip Posted May 21, 2021 #23 Share Posted May 21, 2021 P&O won't suddenly bring back another 4 ships in September. It is very much a phased return. I have my own (pessimistic) views on Aurora and Arcadia's longer spring 2022 itineraries. My gut feel is that if they don't get ahead then those ships won't restart until Easter 2022. But when does P&O make that decision - when will it have the necessary data to do so? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your view on Britannia's likelihood of starting its European itineraries after the seacation cruises finish. Unless there are major changes to the traffic light countries, then most cruises will include an amber country with all the quarantine and testing costs that will be required, both of P&O and its passengers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested in this also as we’re due on Iona in October. Normally I would start planning and looking in more detail at the restaurants etc but I don’t feel comfortable enough to do that yet.
