That’s good to know - thank you

Thank you - I couldn’t believe our luck. It starts on the 23rd which is our overnight stay. I’ve got us an evening pass so we can see all three acts playing at the Harpa. Musicians are playing in various bars and clubs throughout the two days we are there also 🎷

Thank you 😊

Hi, can anyone advise if P&O run a shuttle bus from Skarfabakki Cruise Terminal to the town during the day/evening? I’ve booked tickets to a Jazz Festival at the Harpa for the evening of our overnight visit and just realised the terminal is a good 50 min walk into town!! Thank you

We live 25 mins from Liverpool and the pier head, museums and Liverpool 1 are excellent. We visited over Eurovision and had a wonderful day. The big wheel by the arena gives fantastic views

We too are on Iceland 8th August (Silver Anniversary) and Canada/US 30 day in 2024 😃. We have never sailed on Arcadia and have been anxious about the negative reviews, but thought we would go with an open mind and not look at anything negatively.

The ‘old’ package had a price cap of £6.95. Is there a new price cap? I can’t see it mentioned anywhere.

I think this might help https://www.pocruises.com/content/dam/po/pdfs/Terms-and-Conditions-Drinks-packages-2023.pdf

Hi. We were there in July and when in Split and then Korcula not one cafe or bar would take a credit card. Cash only.

Update: my TA call back to advise that because the cancellations are due to operational reasons they are NOT offering free transfers or 100% money back. However, due to the high number of complaints they have received they might review the situation Wednesday/ Thursday this week…….

Yes, Trieste is being used as a replacement for Venice and was cancelled (assume it is because four other cruise ships in the same day). I spoke to my TA today who said they had P&O ‘specialists’ in to help with the number of P&O queries. our only option apparently is to cancel cruise or move. This is not possible. We paid for our original cruise, in full, March ‘20. We left our money with P&O in good faith during very difficult times for everyone. We booked the two weeks off nearly a year ago with our respective employers and for the three of us who are in full time employment to try and get a different two weeks together during the Summer months is practically impossible (cover and other colleagues holidays). Apparently other ports have been cancelled on upcoming Arcadia cruises too and the TA is trying to sort those out too.

There is definitely a trend here for P&O changing ports! I get it if weather prevents it, but if it’s to do with too many ships in port for example, how is it that P&O bites the bullit and cancels? Fingers crossed our Arcadia cruises booked for ‘23 and ‘24 go ahead, but reading other threads I am not holding my breath 🤣

Hi, many thanks for the info. P&O did not mention in the e-mail received that we had the option to cancel or to rebook. We had our fly cruise originally booked for July 2020 on Oceana and it was subsequently cancelled and re-booked three times due to COVID. I don’t want to cancel our first family cruise since 2019 even though P&O have blindsided us with three port cancellations. Luckily the second week is unchanged. I did check the port schedules for the cancelled Ports and Rovinj was the only port with no additional ships due in the same day. Trieste had another three and Dubrovnik one. I wish P&O would just be upfront.

We are due to sail on Azura 14th July (originally due to sail 2020) and I have received an e-mail from P&O to say that three of the four ports of call Trieste, Rovinj and Dubrovnik have been cancelled due to ‘Operational Reasons’. They have been replaced with Korcula, Zadar and Koper. Does anyone have any idea what ‘Operational Reasons’ means? Trieste and Rovinj were new ports for us so I am disappointed not to see them ☹️. If anyone has any experience of visiting Koper or Korcula I would be grateful for any hints or tips 😊
