You can see Cabin availabilty on the Web Site, but not obvious!
Search the cruise and cabin type you want and choose the 'Select' type booking.
You will get a Summary page and in the Cabin section it will show the Cabin type you have selected e.g. Balcony Standard. 

There is an Edit button next to this and if you click it you will have the option to choose the cabin from those available. Various edit buttons to change the positions and deck in the ship.

Oh my goodness thank you!  What a star! ⭐

Its many years since we booked through an agent, but when we compared availability in store the agent had more choice than was available as a direct booking, including access to cheaper GTY fares.

Thank you!  What’s a GTY fare?

Hi 👋 

Im disappointed to see that you seem to have to pay a deposit with P & O before you see the cabin availability - is this right?  
 

So I’ve looked on a couple of tour operators. They both have different cabins available. Does P & O direct sell these cabins out, or do they have access to every available cabin?

I hope I’ve made sense!

Excellent advice from Izzywiz. I agree with all of it, but accessible cabins should really only be booked by those who are physically unable to cope in a standard cabin, or are forced to book one due to having a scooter. Even when my wife was a part time wheelchair user we booked regular cabins, as we didn’t wish to deprive those who couldn’t cope without one. Now that she is a full time wheelchair user we are unable to cruise unless we can get an accessible cabin, and they are difficult to secure.

 There’s absolutely no need for us to have an accessible cabin at this point in time so I wouldn’t consider booking one.  I do appreciate your point though. 

Thank you so much Izzywiz, that has really put my mind at rest!

Good morning everyone. 
 

I think this is my first post here so please bear with me - hopefully I’m posting in the right area!

I’m thinking of the short Southampton-Amsterdam cruise with my elderly mother and neither of us have taken a cruise before. She has COPD and cannot walk long distances without getting out of breath (relieved by an inhaler) and also walks with a rollator. Would a cruise even be suitable?  Or are there cabins we could consider that are close to everything?

Thank you for any help!
