I tend to disagree with regards to cancelling and re booking not being viable. Keep a regular eye on prices. Note what the cost is now for an Sea View or balcony and then regularly visit the P&O website for price updates.Not that many moons ago I had an inside cabin booked and whilst I appreciate you want something better I saw that the price had reduced significantly. So I contacted P&O and was told I would have to cancel, lose my deposit and re book and that there was a chance that whilst on the phone the cabin I had originally booked might be sold. However it wasn't so I got the same cabin, lost my deposit and still saved £800.
Interesting, thanks for letting me know. I will monitor prices as you suggest. Losing a deposit would be regrettable, but if the saving to be made by rebooking is a lot more, it could well be worth it.

You're welcome. Sometimes the price drops are huge so the cancellation option saves money. We saved £1,000 on a Caribbean cruise last year by moving our deposit to another cruise and rebooking. Definitely keep you eye on prices just in case.
Yes I will, thank you.

Ah right, thanks very much for explaining that folks, I did not realise that was the case so that's useful info.

Hi there. No, it doesn't need to be cheaper - either the same price or a moderate price increase would be fine.

Hi there. I booked a solo summer 2026 P&O cruise as soon as the dates were released. I chose an inside cabin for price reasons but I've been thinking that I would like an outside cabin if possible. I know about the auction process for upgrades, and I'll try that if necessary nearer the time. However, I did wonder if there might be times over the next couple of years (during sales, for example) when the prices might temporarily drop sufficiently to bring the cost of an outside cabin low enough that it wouldn't be too expensive for me to upgrade at that point. Is this something which might potentially happen, based on people's previous experience of price variations?

Yes sure, though I imagine it'll be a while before prices drop enough to make any change worthwhile. Currently the cabin type I have costs about £300 more than when I booked, which was at early bird prices. I think it will only be if they have a sale that prices may drop enough to generate options.
