Notebook64 Posted July 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Hi All If anything goes wrong and you raise an issue, don't hold your breath. It will take around a month for the first brush off letter and upon replying, you guessed it, another month etc. Will update this thread as this progresses. See you in a few months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britboys Posted July 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Sadly this seems common among the uk-based cruise lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camberley Posted July 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) While P&O are not the only ones to respond, they have honed their skills of slowness and utter vagueness/buck passing in responses. I bet they are quick and clear to respond when there are payment issues….. Edited July 30, 2023 by Camberley 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so did you do as suggested and also send it direct to P&O Executive Office? I don't think you mentioned what your complaint was about as it unfortunately wandered to be a discussion about water.

majortom10 Posted July 31, 2023 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2023 15 hours ago, Notebook64 said: would never use them again - will see if Martin Lewis can help I think you find all travel companies not just cruise companies that are ABTA bonded have 38 days to respond to complaints or issues. I think it is an ABTA recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Megabear2 Posted July 31, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 31, 2023 My last two contacts I've been contacted exactly on 27 days. I always use the Executive Office email if I consider it a serious issue or its financial in nature. As Majortom said ABTA rules allow them to 28 days.

Son of Anarchy Posted July 31, 2023 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Last year I raised an issue with P & O regarding their price guarantee. First reply was within two days. I had to follow this up, but a response was received again within two days. This year I had to raise two issues, one regarding incorrection application of FCC and another regarding incidents on board a cruise. The first one was fully resolved within two weeks, and cancellation fees as a gesture of goodwill (not asked for, so totally unexpected and appreciated). The second one, was resolved on something like day 31, but there were three bank holidays within that time frame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sorry I meant 28 days my error due to thick fingers and not checking what I wrote before posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaJane Posted July 31, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Our complaint about the quality of MDR food on Ventura was also dealt with on day 27. We were satisfied with the response and the award of extra OBC for our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
