Personally I wouldn’t bother, there’s no point if you’re just buying them for the onboard credit perk.

The shares are going to be delisted off the UK stock exchange soon so you’ll most likely lose money when you’re forced to sell them back

Thanks for the replies. Looks like they've recognised everything from the changeover when The P & O loyalty scheme became Peninsular up until end of 2018, Ive got a cruise on Britannia in the Caribbean showing on the Captains Circle account thats from Christmas 2018. 

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been asked before...New to Princess

I've booked us onto a princess cruise for the first time and they've transferred over loyalty point from the P & O cruises weve done previously. Is there a reason why they missed all of the nights we sailed before the current P & O scheme changed names? They missed off 42 nights from when the P & O programme was called Portunis. On top of this theyve missed off the whole of 2019 that we did on P & O. They also havent added the last P & O staycation we did a week ago but I guess that could be put down to just not being updated yet.

Can someone throw some light?

TIA

Greg

I was supposed to be that cruise but tested positive at the terminal 😪   Failed the Lateral flow test and then had to have a PCR test.  Had no symptoms at all but have since had a bit of a cold. Didn't feel great all weekend so glad to have not been on board. Massively disappointed and frustrated at the time though as you can imagine.

Out of around 1500 people I cant believe that I was the only person in that terminal that day with Covid.  🤨

Sorry you didn't make it onboard, hope you're feeling better soon.

We only know that someone tested positive on the ship because it was my sisters next door neighbour! He tested negative at the terminal, developed a persistent  headache a day or so later then on the last day flu like symptoms. He had a second test on the ship which was positive.They quarantined him and his wife then he was let off the ship after all the other passengers had left. I would hope that they were able to trace and test any crew they interacted with. I wonder if they also trace any passengers they were near during their time onboard. 

We got off Britannia this morning from the 15th July 3 day cruise. There was a covid case onboard.

We had Marco Pierre White and Eric Lanyard, both of the said they will be back but not sure when. Also there was a lady talking about Pirates, I didn't go but I heard she was good.  They were taking walk ins for the talks. You give your cabin number and they login you in on their tablet so they can monitor numbers. 

Thanks! Thanks really helpful 🙂 

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone who's been on one of the Britannia cruises already knows who the guest presenters are onboard? Also has anyone managed to book one of the talks through the P & O website? I've tried to book one but just get timed out on that section, its not letting me see who's on or book anything even though Ive booked the Theatre shows and Live Lounge etc. Anyone have any info?

Just spotted this beauty in the restrictions...

 

• Alcoholic drinks are limited to 15 beverages per 24-hour period (6am to 6am)

Really...!

 

Not so much the "Ultimate" drinks package then eh...

We found the 15 drinks limit wasn’t enforced at all. Our last cruise pre pandemic there was 6 of us and very often in the glasshouse the waiter swiped all 6 drinks through on a single card, I had 3 or 4 rounds swiped on my card within a couple hours in the glasshouse on more that 1 night, that’s over the limit straight away. The waiter told us there’s no way for them to see what you’ve had. They basically don’t care and just charged every order to 1 card to save time

Thanks for the menus updates, I cant wait to be onboard soon!

I've just checked ours, and no there is not a check tick against these, although they are filled out.

No tick next to that on ours either

Hi Greg, did you manage to download the etickets and luggage labels or just the boarding passes?  I still can't do it - I'm waiting for a call back from the TA.

Hi,

Yes I managed to print the e-tickets and luggage labels after i’d entered all the passport details etc but couldn’t get the boarding passes until I managed to added them card details. Maybe log back in and double check that you’ve added all the info they want or perhaps delete a postcode or something and save it then log off and log back in and add it back so it forces their system to recheck ?  Perhaps that’s worth a try?

Good luck!

Seems it’s still 6.95 😊

I'm shocked! Thats brilliant Thanks for sharing. Does anyone else have any more drinks menus from the staycation cruise?

Hi All,

Just a quick post to say Ive finally managed to complete my online check in. The card details were accepted this morning. Something on the system their side has been changed, I filled in the form with the details and clicked through but rather than bounce me to the verified by visa screen it almost instantly popped up a details accepted message with no need for the verified by visa part. As soon as the card was added(I'd already added the photos etc) I was able to download the PDF boarding pass ready to print 🙂

Hope this helps someone

Indeed, and it was available on the drinks package, wonder if it is above the price threshold now though.  Lovely drop of fizz, and preferable (to my tastebuds anyway) to the usual names in champagne.  

I don’t think the Peller Ice Cuvee will be under £6.95 It was £6.95 for 125ml last time we were onboard:(

Spent ages today trying to check in. Must be the slowest system in the world to accept login details. Anyway managed to do most of it apart from credit card details. It seems to authentic the card as i get a text to my phone with a code but the get a technical failure error. Anyone yet managed to complete the process and get the boarding card. 

Thats exactly what was happening for me, Ive still not done it

I have been able to complete all check in sections apart from card details, keeps popping up with ‘ technical problem, try later’    I have been trying for a couple of days though 😞. Also no cabin number allocated yet but it says it will be allocated on board 🤔 

The checking in system on P&O website is so slow it’s painful! 

Their IT is pitifull 👎 I still havent added my card details, our cabin number was sent to me in an email last week but its not showing in the personaliser(or whatever they call it now) 🤷‍♂️

Ive had another email this morning for them with a list of what needs to be done before embarkation

Greg

Its still not working for me, its actually worse, I'm getting the "technical problem" pop up message before I even get to the verified by visa page now. Hopeless 😞 

For me the tickets and luggage labels became accessible to print after I’d filled in all the passport, insurance details etc

Hiya! Glad its not just me! Ive still managed to print etickets and luggage labels so I guess worst case is that I have to give them the card details at the terminal

Hi All,

Is anyone else having trouble with the online check in process? Ive uploaded our photos and completed the details all ok but its bouncing me out with a try again in a few minutes message pop up every time I try to add the payment card details. It'll be a miracle if the new "app" works onboard the ship, their IT is a right shambles 😞
