Have you seen the new thread on cancelled cruises Jean? I know you have one in April 2022 on Aurora but I don't know when.

That new thread is just regurgitating very old news.

It is a very old notice as Wowzz has said.  Aurora had the 40 night Caribbean one put on for 20th February after that and it has not been cancelled.  That other thread has been reported as old news, so should hopefully be removed soon.

I didn't realise that. I only remember Jean saying that she was undecided whether to cancel her April cruise on Aurora and thought P&O might had done it for her😉

I have just been reading over on the Celebrity Board that their 12 night Southern Caribbean cruise, due to depart from the US tomorrow 5 September has, of last week had to cancel their calls to Barbados and Greneda.  I suppose a lot can happen in a few months but I don' t feel this bodes well for P & O's Caribbean season this winter.

I read that the islands are now asking for full vaccination of passengers and crew hence the cancellation

Which bodes well for P&O cruises as all passengers and crew will be fully vaccinated by the time P&O are cruising there. Perhaps that is the reason for the delay in letting people know details.

An article on Cruise Critic about this:-

Still very undecided whether to reschedule. I‘ve been studying the shore excursions, these currently being the only way to get ashore….prices are same as previously and the only departure time shows as 9am. Obviously this can’t work; huge numbers of passengers going ashore and a finite number of coaches and mini-buses would make it chaotic to say the least. But any idea how it’ll be managed? Do you think P&O will fall in line with some other lines and allow independent tours etc? Or add additional departure times/excursions??

We are booked on the 6 November and have booked excursions - we did have a choice of times for the ones we have booked. It is all still uncertain re flights - still not showing, and covid protocols at each of the ports of call.

Judging by the latest news from No10 no. But like so many other things it is still all up in the air.

Some of the Caribbean islands are now asking for the passengers and crew to be fully vaccinated, so you will probably see there will be more changes

No one knows yet, although it has been reported that P&O are to make a statement about their protocols this week. But whatever you do don't hold your breath.
