Select Price Bookings Transfer Bookings Policy Post 3rd August

[GSPG]

This may help some make a decision.
Given the current threads and discussions on covid and mask wearing and insurance policies, to make you aware this is possible.

I am quite surprised it is available given the problems being encountered and with people feeling THEY HAVE to travel.

This may be a get out for sone until things change.

You need to investigate mor, but below is a c&p.

 

For any bookings made after 3 August 2022, if you wish to reschedule your holiday, you can take advantage of our fee-free flexible transfer policy if you've booked on a Select Price holiday. This means you can: Transfer your booking once. Transfer your booking to a P&O Cruises holiday of equal or higher value.

Yes this has always been available in the T & Cs but note it must be of same or higher value. I think it must also have to be within a certain time period.

But not if you are sailing in the next 90 days.

Holidays booked prior to 3 August 2022:

For any bookings made prior to 3 August 2022, if you wish to reschedule your holiday, you can make one further booking transfer up to the date that the balance for your holiday is due. This is available on Select Price and Early Saver holidays. However, the new booking must be of equal or higher value and must sail within 12 months of the original departure date (or 6 months for a World Cruise, Classic Southern Hemisphere Journey, Grand Tour or Exotic Fly-cruise).

Ah, so identical except it also allows it for early saver bookings.

I think the plan on reverting to "normal" terms may have been a deliberate move to lock as many people in as possible, particularly those who are paid in full, while the financial and disease situation was looking good.  P&O will now be able to balance their books a little better and see how the income stream looks going forward.  Lots on various boards, not just P&O, are booked on multiple cruises through to mid 2024 and that is effectively money in the bank as any changes have to be to a cruise of equivalent or higher cost.  Clever accounting, but ultimately one which couid backfire if those deposits lead to cancellations rather than final payments.

 

A lot of the American lines made the moved in April/May as their ships arrived in Europe but of course Americans have better cancellation rights than UK passengers.
