Sounds horrendous - feel sorry for the staff as well as other customers. which cruise is this ?

Yes me too - one less thing to worry about !

Yes - me too. Something exotic. Vietnam and Singapore I would like to do.

Just found it - thanks Do you know which ship or ships will be doing this ? I’m hoping it’s explorer 2.

Hope so - love to do a Dubai fly cruise. I can’t see any on the website do far. Where was the advert ? I hope they do as we would love to do a Dubai fly cruise. nothing on the website yet.

Well done for sticking with it.

Same for us - our Arcadia short break was cancelled.

That’s really good service - did it disrupt the cruise schedule at all ? Really impressed. I had assumed that they would just give up on you in this case and offer a refund.

Impressive - have a great cruise. keep us updated would you ? I love it when someone comes over and takes your drinks order as soon as you sit down - always a good sign and panic over !

It’s like we have all been flipped across into a parallel universe where things are the opposite of what they used to be. I watch a lot of YouTube cruise and holiday videos and just going back to 2019 is like looking at a totally different planet.

Wow !!! Never seen anything like this - I’m used to the cramped, wet and full of fumes ones.

There is a market for cruise stuff especially if it’s not available any more - maybe this is a discontinued badge ? I find it sad that someone feels the need to sell this - perhaps they don’t like it - but maybe they are desperate. But some people will buy anything - did you see the program about someone who put a piece of “old rope” for sale on eBay as an experiment - and someone bought it.

We are still booking with p&o as the holidays overall have always been good - but it’s been a long time since the last one so we will see what the next one is like - august 23. Adults only and sailing from Southampton - both very important for us.

Didn’t get one so don’t know ! But this looks good. Nice retro badge.

Yes - I agree. I expect them to get things right if they offer them - it’s the lack of attention to detail and lack of consistency that annoys me - even if it’s a small thing.

Slippers ??? Eh ???? !!!! I didn’t get them !!! Not fair !!! it’s interesting to see who gets what.

We were Atlantic before the last one - got all the other benefits stated - but not the pin !

Just for fun and if it’s offered I like to see it followed through.

How did you get them ? Were they put in your cabin ?

Thanks very much - that rings a bell now - yes I remember now using the voucher in one of the bars memory problems. I will try and remember for next time. Didn’t get the lapel pin though - I’m sure of that - I’ll ask at reception next time.

I’m on P&O Atlantic Tier - just received a loyalty benefits email - it mentions a free glass of champagne on departure and a lapel pin - has anyone ever had these as I didn’t get these on the last cruise where we were Atlantic Tier. Also mentions dedicated loyalty manager on board ? the discounts all worked though. thanks if anyone knows.

Thanks - I’d forgotten that - it’s been so long since we have had to do this , we haven’t flown anywhere in years and have only been on cruises ex uk where all immigration done for us on board.

Worth a try I suppose - the risk is having to go to the back of the UK queue and start again. If the queues are small I’ll try it. Do you know if this is reciprocated by the UK for her - when we come back ? She has right to remain but I can’t remember if she needs to go through the EU queue coming back.

We love breakfast in the dining rooms - white table cloth - proper napkins - comfortable - service etc - Sometimes use the buffet if we are in a hurry for a trip - the buffet on Iona was really good and the seating was better with more room than in buffets on other ships we have been on.

Ok - that looks like it might be tricky. thanks
