Britboys Posted August 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I see that one of the big cruise agents a number of us use is doing an "Ask Paul Ludlow" event through their you-know-what page. Sorely tempted to ask "Isn't it time you moved on"...😂 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Megabear2 Posted August 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'd like to ask him what price loyalty! Just seen my Christmas cruise £900 less plus £780obc and told nothing can be done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the questions someone has posted is "when are you going to bring in a price promise".... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermotsgirl Posted August 3, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'd ask him when are they going to refund the £570 they have owed me for 2 months 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For operational reasons. 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowzz Posted August 4, 2022 #8 Share Posted August 4, 2022 You would hope that the questions asked are rather more hard hitting than some of those posted on the TA media page. But, given that the interview will be printed in the TA's magazine, I think we can be pretty confident that hard hitting questions such as lack of compensation for massive price drops, will be conspicuous by their absence ! Just a puff piece full of platitudes is my guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted August 4, 2022 #9 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Having listened to "ask" online interviews in the past find them totally frustrating. They don't really answer the questions asked and you end up more confused than you were before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Megabear2 Posted August 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Once did a Meet the Manager live on a station. We all told them we thought quiet carriages were a good idea. The manager nodded and wrote it down. The next week they announced televisions on trains would be introduced in every carriage carrying live tv and advertisements. Certainly another "We're listening experience". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camberley Posted August 4, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Surely he'll just get Gary Barlow to take his place and answer in the medium of song. I mean, they're fairly interchangeable Edited August 4, 2022 by Camberley 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, they're fairly interchangeable Indeed. Not to mention their names have the same amount of letters and syllables, and they both end in LOW, which is the same as the chances of completing the itinerary as booked. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britboys Posted August 4, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted August 4, 2022 A fair range of comments and questions have been posted including about: Single supplements More varied itineraries Cut-backs Drinks Packages The on-board 'App' Daytime events More choice of airports for Scottish pax Iona suitability for the Fjords Speciality Restaurants Vaccination Rules Ballroom Dancing facilities IT and phone problems Some, I - and all of you could answer like "Is P&O moving away from smaller and Adult-Only ships to large family ships" - err, yeah! and "Are there any plans to build a smaller adults only ship" - err, no! I have posted a question about when they will reinstate evening cabin service. It will be interesting to see his responses but I guess they will be all the usual non-answers couched in marketing-speak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the Q&A is being done by the largest booker of P&O cruises in the country, I think we can assume that nothing of substance will be asked, or answered. The TA will certainly not want to ask any questions that imply that it is now better to book later rather than at launch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
