Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. UK could have snow, ice, hail, heatwave or mixture of all of the above. So hard to predict but you'd need clothes for warm weather and much cooler, especially evenings.
  2. This was first PUP email I've received in almost 2 years!
  3. Despite searching internet and forums I am struggling to find answers as most of it is airports to port rather than port to port. I am getting off Wonder of The Seas in Miami and need to get down to Fort Lauderdale to board Celebrity Xcel. Anyone able to give me the best advice? TIA
  4. As a newbie to RC what is a good price for deluxe drinks package per person? Ie price seen in recent times that is as low as it gets. Celebrity is around $90pppd I've found at cheapest price.
  5. You can wander off once off coach before you go into cruise terminal and check in desk.
  6. Been massive increase over the winter. Pre cruise I booked Eden on Beyond in 2022 and 2023 for around £50pp but now it is around £75 which is 50% increase since we sailed in September. It is good but not worth £150 for two.
  7. Great post and informative. Exactly why gratuities should never be removed.
  8. Indeed! You know why, because they can bring out the new itinerary at 3x the price. Cancellations never work in passengers favour, if you want to cancel it will cost you..if they want to cancel it done on a whim with little in way of recompense.
  9. Not sure why people cast doubt over peoples claims of appalling behaviour. I've witnessed it 3 times, got involved once to help the victim and apologise I didn't film it for you. Knowing someone who is Cruise Security Manager and not just one, they let me know exactly what goes on. Obviously P&O try and keep it quiet as doesn't give a great impression. Always dealt with swiftly, confine to cabin and handed over to police at next port and banned from cruise company for life.
  10. Think you've hit the nail on the head there. It's a British culture thing getting your moneys worth on a package. Hence why Spain, Greece and other countries have limited drinks daily to combat yobbish British behaviour.
  11. Found the article which interestingly was Jan last year. https://travelweekly.co.uk/news/travel-agents/po-cruises-president-confirms-intention-to-hike-prices
  12. Yes I'm aware this had been Ludlow's strategy, recover from Covid and introduce massive new audience to P&O and then put prices back to where they were 2020. For new P&O passengers it looks like massive price hike but for regulars it is no more than we paid pre covid. As earlier poster said, we will see the end of last minute deals where prices of under £50pppn have been seen. As indicated future sales have been really strong for 2024 and ahead other than Caribbean where there is hesitancy to book until flight situation sorted. They'd definitely rather fill 90% at higher prices and sail just under capacity. Don't forget friends and family get offered late deals at reduced prices on those cruises which have struggled to sell cabins.
  13. Nothing worse though is there when you show your loyalty to a company on opening day. Then 12 months later see your balcony is £1000 cheaper. Personally I prefer the way Princess now operate where it will not be cheaper than at opening day price.
  14. Not sure about anyone else but it appears the company are finally not lowering their prices last minute to ridiculously cheap prices. I've had a look through last minute deals over next few weeks and hardly anything under £100pppn. It would be nice to return to the old days where you had confidence booking early,knowing prices wouldn't drop way below what you paid. In return it would be lovely just to see standards right slightly towards what they were even 4 or 5 years ago. Anyone else noticed this?
