LLOM Posted September 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 3, 2022 I have just been looking at what I need for on line check in, on the credit card details I usually just put the card details in, having done this many times with P&O , but this time I noticed in the top right corner an amount for a £1 which I know is not much but I have never seen this before , l know RCCL ring fence I think it’s £100 which is put back in your account if you don’t use it. I am probably being over cautious but has anyone who has done their online check in noticed this please . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindyloo22 Posted September 3, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Yes we had that back in July just for £1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methuselah55 Posted September 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Same here in June and for the next one in a couple of weeks. Just £1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB9302 Posted September 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Did ours yesterday and noticed £1 pending for Iona on my credit card , also uploaded pics which I had not done before , assumed that was to speed things up at the terminal check in .

Rare Windsurfboy Posted September 4, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 4, 2022 £1 is standard everywhere, if you notice as you pay for petrol at automatic pumps they take a pound at start then get final amount at end. It's how they register card before they know how much you'll spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted September 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Not bothered about the £1, seems to be standard now, but our friend doesn't do online, so she won't be registering a cc until she gets to the port! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangedRose Posted September 4, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Seen it a few times for various stuff. It's to prove that the card is legit. It either gets refunded immediately, or taken off final bill/account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLOM Posted September 4, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thankyou all for your replies, it just seemed a little odd £1. Jeanlyon, I don’t like doing online unfortunately it seems that is the way it is all going and I am sure that I have filled all the details on line only to be asked for them again at embarkation !!! Do P&O still send the paperwork , luggage tags etc through the post, It does say to print them when I went to do the online check in , but for those who have not got a printer what do they do? for instance their luggage tags , just wondering if we have to do it all ourselves is this a way of reducing staffing levels even further !

LLOM Posted September 4, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thankyou David63, l nearly always try to use a TA but unfortunately our local one has now gone , the next nearest is quite some way. I have a printer so its not usually a problem for me, but I am low on ink and are waiting for a delivery of it which has been delayed , supply issues apparently, ! but l can use my daughters printer so it’s not an issue for me, just thinking of others who may not have these options. I am not sure if you can request them to be sent when booking, it’s been some time since I booked so cannot remember if it was offered. Many thanks to all for replying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use a fantastic TA in Wales. He sends everything to our friend in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLOM Posted September 4, 2022 Author #12 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thankyou Jeanlyon, I have just been speaking to a friend who uses a TA about 7 miles away and she said the same as yourself, they post it out to her as she does not drive and is not computer savvy, she has a good relationship with them and has used them for years . I am not sure why our local one closed as it was always busy, I suppose as with a lot of small businesses Covid was the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book bug Posted September 4, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I had the same yesterday registering my credit card. Now they have changed to doing boarding passes instead of etickets I couldn't print a boarding pass without putting in credit card details ( which I could with an eticket) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
