My phone sends me a reminder that I need to be somewhere, but doesn't always tell me where, or why.🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Selbourne Posted December 11, 2023 #30 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Given the demand for wall calendars on this forum, if I receive one this year I’m going to auction it off to the highest bidder 😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ's Posted December 11, 2023 #31 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Our copy of the Moments magazine landed by post last week. We get them at least twice a year and are only Mediterranean level at the moment. Also would be lost without my wall calendar - everything goes on it including birthdays, appointments and holidays. My hubby would be lost without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to be Caribbean or higher to get the calendar, as I think it's the first one I've had, but I thought that all Peninsular Club tiers got the magazine. Anyone who isn'rt getting them might want to check which categories they've ticked regarding info that they want to recive from P&O by post.

Just checked and yes you are correct. I’d forgotten that we became Caribbean tier just before Covid. We only started cruising again this year, so these were the first cruises where the benefits kicked in - hence me thinking that we had moved up more recently. We’ve been getting the magazine for donkeys years though, but haven’t had the latest yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted December 12, 2023 #42 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The tier values have been severely diminished with the advent of all this OBC. On my last cruise I struggled to get rid of my £300 OBC and ended up spending £2.80 of my own money which netted me the grand 10% discount total of 28p. The slippers are not much use but I take the bag home. You don't get a dining preference on Arvia/Iona so if you don't drive or use a coach, not one from Kent. You are left with the half bottle of fizz and a lunch plus cocktail party. You are also left with the perk of reserving a cabin, what a cheek. On Marella it costs from £55 for the cabin, not per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Marella it costs from £55 for the cabin, not per person. That’s why I try to book during periods when there is little or no OBC. We all know that P&O use OBC to encourage bookings during quieter periods, so a £2,000 cruise with no OBC suddenly becomes £2,500 with £500 OBC and people think they are getting a great offer! For those of us with decent loyalty discount, it’s obviously better to get the lower cruise price and then enjoy the discount on onboard spend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
