Even if such a company existed, would not any purchase also involve taking over the mountain of debt that CCL have accumulated ?
It is the debt, and the interest repayments, that are dragging the company down.
The point of course is that if the shares drop to £2 each, you will have lost £500, so after taking your £300 obc into account, you are out of pocket by £200.
You need to recoup your £699 to break even. After that you are in profit.
Sorry that you had a bad experience.
We have stayed an eaten in various PIs over the years, and never had any issues.
Did you raise your concern with management?
Not much help, as many passengers may be paying "saver" type fares, where cabins are allocated at the last minute. You could, for example, see 500 available cabins, but if there are 450 "saver" fares, only 50 cabins will in fact be available.
I suppose it depends how you describe deluxe !
But they all have a sofa, and are bigger than standard balcony cabins on other P&O ships. And the majority have baths with shower over, rather than tiny cubicles with shower curtains.
I was just trying to stop you starting a rumour without any evidence.
P&O have never dramatically increased fares prior to selling off ships. Why would they start now ?
Excellent piece of research.
It shows that any claim made on here about airfares needs to be treated with suspicion, unless the individual in question can supply evidence, rather than just "experience", which means nothing.
Yes, but if that entails bumping other passengers, the airline still has to pay hotel costs etc for the bumped passengers, so there is no nett benefit.
Sorry but that is sheer nincompoopery.
There are fewer cabins available on the two adult ships, the cabins sell out early, so P&O increase prices to reflect reduced availability.
You are just starting a rumour with no factual evidence, just a lack of understanding of fluid pricing.
We've stayed there a few times. Rooms are as good as any other Premier Inn, and the in house restaurant is perfectly adequate. We prefer it to the one at West Quay as you can park at the hotel itself, but I guess that is not a consideration in your case !
The only downside is that there are limited other eating options around the hotel itself.
If a passenger misses a legitimate connection, even if it is outside the responsibility of the airline (eg bad weather, atc issues, even an airbridge malfunction etc), the airline still has to look after those passengers who missed contacting flights.
I fully accept your points.
I was just indicating that in many cases bouncing pax to make space for those previously delayed, does not always make economic sense.
How will it be better for the airlines ?
In my example they would then have to compensate another 25 passengers, and another 25 the day after that etc, etc.
