I have never booked excursions prior to getting on the ship before . P&O are pestering me to book excursions now for a cruise next year in case they sell out. My questions are; if I book any do I pay in full at time of booking or just a deposit , and If I pay in full then either cancel the excursion or even the cruise, Do I get a refund of any shore excursion paid for? many thanks kev

Last time I flew home from Barbados, the ships coach dropped us off and the queue to enter the airport was extremely long . Standing in a queue in the blazing sun for over an hour just to get to the entrance was horrendous. There was nowhere to sit and people were fainting. Can anyone tell me if things have changed in the last two years or what was their experience. thank you, kev

many thanks for your advice,

Hello everyone, can anyone please advise? on Caribbean flights out of Manchester does buying premium seats entitle me to use the TUI lounge at the airport? I have been told that despite buying premium, because it is a charter flight for P&O I am not entitled. Free lounge access only applies to non charter flights. many thanks. kevin

I think introducing a new tier would be a wonderful idea, based not upon the number of nights aboard but the amount one spends with P&O I know lots of people who cruise 2 or 3 times a year but spend very little on the cost of the cruise by having the cheapest inside cabins and spending nothing over the bars or on excursions. I also know many people who spend a great deal on suites. deluxe cabins. excursions, drinks, restaurants etc. I have a friend who buys 4 balcony cabins each cruise for the whole family but is only awarded 15 nights credit towards the peninsular club tiers. This cannot be right. The tier system is supposed to recognise and reward valued customers. But if one passenger spends 5 times more another one the same cruises, which one of them is the most valuable customer ?? I expect a great deal of debate to kick off now !!!!!!!

Planning a suite for first time for special occasion Diamond anniversary. Do we get priority check in and if so, would our our daughter and husband who are are travelling companions and our carers check in with us although they not in a suite. thanks for any advice

many thanks everyone kev

Are P&O currently using TUI Dreamliner on their Caribbean flights ? If not, who are they using and any comments about the flights please. thank you kevboy

Hi all. On our next cruise we have a rather large amount of credit to spend on board. I know we can use it to pay for excursions but I would like to pre book these excursions before they sell out. Is it possible to do this using onboard spends? Previously, once onboard I found that some excursions were already sold out before the cruise began. Going on a wait list didn`t help either. Can anyone advise please ? kev

Further to my post. I have now been informed that it is to with flight days. alternate cabins are reserved for alternate flight days. The only way to get adjacent cabins is for my children to fly on Friday and my wife and myself to fly on Saturday. If this is not absolutely Ludicrous then I dont know what is. Surely someone must be able to sanction adjacent cabins but who? does anyone know who I might contact at P&O to complain to ?

I have just booked 2 balcony cabins on Arvia Caribbean christmas cruise 2023. I wanted 2 adjacent cabins. My TA advised that he could not find two adjacent cabins anywhere on the ship! He spoke to someone at P&O who confirmed that it was not possible to book adjacent cabins but he couldn`t say why. To make matters worse it seems that my cabin has an interactive door with the next cabin. It seems that every other cabin on each deck is unbookable. Can anyone throw any light on this please? thanks kev
