We recieved an email fromP&O yesterday sying that booking for dining on our Aurora cruise on 3rd. June was open, but on cruise personaliser it still says 'Coming soon', How long before sailing can you book restaurants?

Well it was free in November last.

They've never charged for milk in the same way as they don't charge for ice. You can ask for a carton or a jug to keep in the 'fridge. I've always rung room service as soon as we've got to our cabin. Milk may be a service provided by your steward, but room service is quicker, especially if you're gasping for a cuppa! We always ask for semi-skimmed but I think they have full and skimmed as well.

No. It comes free.

Yes

Can anyone tell me what are the birthday special dinners on p&o. It says 'special dinner in a restaurant of your choice'. I'd like to know what to expect, what does special mean? Has anyone paid for and experienced the birthday package?

Just ring room service and ask for a carton of milk and then keep it in the'fridge

Unfortunately I recieved the following reply after sending all the neccesay details and photo to Stockperks; Unfortunately, per the validation rules we have from our clients, we had to reject your submission because it was too old. Can you follow the same upload process in the app but with legible recent images of your documentation (from the last 3 months)? These images should show: your name (that matches the Stockperks user name) the brokerage’s name date of the documentation the number of shares you own in companies offering perks via Stockperks I don't know what they mean by the last 3 months, my share certificate is 6 years old. What do they need?

If you can't get in via the app. just turn up at the desk and they'll try to fit you in although you may have to wait.

I want chips, not fries,not chunky chips, not skin on fries - proper chips!

I'd be inclined to query this, did you book direct through P&O or use a travel agent. You aren't getting what you paid for so I'd see what remedies are available.

Carnival UK have made this announcement today (29/9) "CARNIVAL CORPORATION & PLC REPORTS ALL-TIME RECORD REVENUE AND DEMONSTRATES STRONG THIRD QUARTER 2023 EARNINGS MOMENTUM" Why then has the share price dropped by 50p? Does anyone understand this, if so can you please explain?

P&O have apparently issued the following statement. "We have stopped building new ships with libraries. The reason is so we can have other bars, restaurants etc. there and the reason is also that, well, the amount of people who want to borrow a book and sit, in library silence on their Fun cruise was, we saw, getting less and less." They have also said that existing libraries will be removed from each ship as it recieves refurbishment.

I was dreading having to book the Intercruises coach transfer for our October cruise because it usually takes so long, but this time my call was answered on the first ring. They have obviously resolved their previous issues. Just thought people would like to know.

No shaver/toothbrush sockets in Iona or Arvia and the ones on Brittania are the wrong size. I take a 3 pin to 2 pin (shaver size) - n0 problem, but you have to use a socket in the cabin.

I've keep visiting 'My Account' on the P&O website to find out a record of my cruises and the loyalty points that I have. All it ever keeps saying is "Something happened, please try again later." Has anyone found another way o getting this information?

The water in your bathroom is perfectly drinkable and is the same as that served in the dining rooms and buffet. We fill a couple of plastic bottles from the tap and put them in the 'fridge so that they are nice and cold to drink.

203 May 14, 2015 Nottingham #22 Posted 4 minutes ago I don't know why P&O persevere with these dining apps. Everyone seems to have fallen foul of them at one time or another. The old system of turn up, be given a pager if there isn't a table ready was fine. We never had much of a wait and we were never forgotten or ignored as seems to happen now. On our last cruise in October we gave up on the app after we waited an hour and a quarter to be called and sat next to a couple who had just walked up. Thats just what we did afterwards and never had to wait for more than a few minutes to be seated

We are sailing on Arvia later this month and have seen that there are only two black tie nights in two weeks. We can't find out which bars and restarants are black tie only and which are available to those in casual dress. Can anyone tell us which these are or point us to where this information is given?

You will be allocated to one or other of the two, shown on a card when you reach your cabin. They are both about the same really but if you want to change, you will need to ask at reception.

Yes, they admit they have telephone problems. I rang 3 times, the first 2 just rang and stopped as Fanged Rose says, but on the 3rd. time the phone was answed. I had to do this twice and the same thing happened both times.

Thanks, we'll just take our chances as before. We may have had to wait sometimes but usually got into the restaurant we wanted.
