Beat you - 80 weeks to go in my case! Seriously, what is the point of sending out this sort of guff 18 months in advance? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennizor Posted August 27, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I also received this email this morning about 4 of our 5 cruises booked. Ominously, there was nothing about our 25th September cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) There is something weird going on. I tried to go book excursions for my December 2021 Azura cruise and they have all disappeared! They were certainly there before. Edited August 27, 2021 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our email today said only 58 weeks, so our chances of the bus getting us is around 83% of yours. That should bring out the maths teachers.🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bin man Posted August 27, 2021 Author #11 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hi Terrierjohn I guess you haven't had your precruise booklet with luggage labels like we used to get .Guess they won't do them under these covid times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gettingwarmer Posted August 27, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Look under " A few reassuring changes" in email, The protocols have a new date of 27 August 2021 but I don't know if anything has changed. https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-with-confidence/preparing-to-sail Edited August 27, 2021 by Gettingwarmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will doubtless encourage some people to buy shore excursions, drinks packages etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bin man Posted August 27, 2021 Author #17 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I had the same thoughts noticed date had been updated but can't see any changes also looking at iona bookings 25th Sept can only see one cabin available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I give in you will need to ask P&O why they sent them. But the best of luck in getting a prompt answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracyjj0 Posted August 27, 2021 #19 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) Four emails for me. 43 days, 24 wks, 40 wks & 81 wks. Let’s see which ones actually happen! 😍😍😍 Edited August 27, 2021 by Tracyjj0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiB Posted August 27, 2021 #21 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Well i got 7 emails today but one was missing, it was not for this year 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugsta Posted August 27, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 27, 2021 OH got one for our July cruise but not for our January one. I didn't get one for either, despite the bookings being in my name and P+O having my email address! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennizor Posted August 27, 2021 #23 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Slugsta, I have trouble keeping up with things these days but I am 71. I wonder what P & O’s excuse is! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, what is the point of sending out this sort of guff 18 months in advance? Totally agree. It's ludicrous. I had one for my next cruise which is 52 weeks away. Even if some of the excursions are available now, there's no way I'm booking them a year ahead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call them to tell them so, but I don't want to waste 2 hours of my life on hold. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
