Free cruise on Bolette

[yorkshire traveller]

A couple of weeks ago I got an email from FO offering 2nd passenger sails free with a choice of 3 cruises in Septemer/October.  We had no intention of booking another cruise at the moment as we have got 42 nights booked with Ambassador for January 2024 and world cruise 2025 on Bolette to look forward to.  However, the offer was too good to miss.  We have chosen A Scenic  Exploration of The Adriatic & Dalmatian Coast.

The other 2 cruises were going to Canada which doesn't really interest us.

7 of the ports will be new to us and we are looking forward to revisiting the others 

Has anyone else taken advantage of the offer?

If they did half price for solos I might get interested...

I think the offer was no supplement for solos. I agree it seems very unfair for anyone traveling alone

We're on the same cruise. It was an offer too good to miss. We've been to many of the ports, including Neum, Saranda and Kotor which we've done on land based holidays to Dubrovnik/Corfu, but not Venice (we ended up in Trieste because of fog) or Split (always been on our list). It'll be the second longest cruise we've done (we were on the Marco Polo to Canada in 2019 for 30 days).

We also ended up in Trieste instead of Venice because of fog when we sailed on Cunard Queen Victoria.  We had to fly home from Bergamot. Hope we have no fog this time!

We were on a lowly P&O ship, but it shows that whatever you pay doesn't stop the weather interfering with plans!!

We have enjoyed a fair few cruises on P&O but not since before covid.  By what I have been reading they are not as good as they used to be.
