If you pre-book the Beach House do you pay when you finish the meal or does it come off your bank/credit card before you go Editing - also Limelight Club as I have always booked as soon as we board so it can come off our OBC . Did I need to wait until I board?

An up to date statement with all details on and dated. They accepted that it was when you have to go in and put your booking ref and date etc I that it later said invalidated and yes I did the date format correctly, the US way

I put in a claim for later this year two weeks ago. I haven't had an e mail yet telling me whether it has been accepted but if I look on the app it has invalidated next to it. Shouldn't I have had something to tell me why it is invalidated. I've checked my junk mail as well. Any advice please?

Thanks both

Can you still book some of the entertainment 2 weeks before as it doesn't mention it now on the Cruise Personaliser like it used to do?

Father Christmas appeared up by the funnel on Christmas Eve just before we left the port. I guess he couldn't do it at sea it would have been a bit hot up there. He then came down with his elves and joined in the sailaway This was on Arcadia .

As has been said easy to get from Birmingham New Street Station to Birmingham International Station then 2 minutes on free monorail to inside the airport. Alternatively check out hotels in Solihull which is only a short taxi ride away. Also Greswolde Arms in Knowle a village just outside Solihull. ( Always in top places to live in UK)

We have used a few times but we catch the coach from Hopwood Services on the M42 and that coach is one of the last scheduled to arrive at the dock so each time we have traveled we haven't arrived till nearly 4 o'clock so didn't get our luggage till well after dinner. It's unfortunate but if we were travelling from elsewhere in the country we would definitely use the coach all the time.

I agree. You could be traveling with family or friends but that doesn't mean you do everything with them. They might go off on excusions perhaps which are too active for you or even that you can't afford or you just want to give them their own space. Plus if you are single you might meet someone either romantically or just as a friend perhaps to cruise with again. If you are not with your partner or proper family unit ( I.e. parents and young/teen children) you can definitely be classed asca solo traveller. That would just be mean to exclude someone.

Good thinking

I've never known it being extended to December before, does that mean they might publish something saying after December it will finish I wonder. It's just unusual not to renew for a whole year.

No I have never had anything . My shares are held with a company that lots of people hold theirs with. I sent off for my OBC for a Princess cruise on Tuesday afternoon just by email as we always used to and got a notification on Thursday saying it had been added.

Silly question probably. If we are shareholders shouldn't we get the chance to vote on things like we do with any shares we hold in banks etc? I've never had a list of resolutions to vote on sent to me in the 6 years I have had shares

You need to go to a good Cruise Travel Agent, unfortunately we are not allowed to mention names on here, but I do know lots of us use the same one. But what I would say is don't go to a normal travel agent, they often have little knowledge of cruises you must use a cruise agent. I am very surprised the people at P & O themselves aren't being helpful as has been said complain direct to the CEO

Did you book direct with P & O or though a Travel Agent?

I have seen a couple of mentions on that well known platform. Some answers said they don't normally announce it till after the annual reports. So 🤞🤞they are right

Do you pay normally more for excursions once you are onboard ( ignoring the sale price currently being offered) . I'm trying to decide whether to book now or wait till we are onboard in case we change our mind. What happens about the 10% Elite discoubt?

If you book an excursion before you sail previously you could pay with your OBC but I can't work out how to do it now. Can anyone help please. Also what happens ref your 10% Elite discount, you get it back as OBC once onboard do you?

Thanks that must be what I have heard about with someone being outside

Thanks not just me then🧳🚢

Well excuse me for not realising. I thought I had seen previously people saying you are told at the luggage pods so I was just questioning how you were told. I wouldn't want to risk my cases going though with no cabin number , we haven't had our luggage sometines till late at night so goodnesd knows if you would ever get them.

It says when you book can be allocated any time up to embarkation. The few tines ( years ago) when we booked Saver before we had the cabin allocated either 6 or 3 weeks before so were able to print labels etc . My question is really if you haven't got your cabin number and you have labels without number on , what happens? Do you check in and then go back and put cabin numbers on or is someone by the luggage pods that gives you the cabin and deck number. As you have to put through specific pod depending on deck number.

Thanks all, so will wait till 3 weeks before. We have booked a Saver Fare this time for the first time in years and I was thinking they might be waiting for us to fill everything in before allocating a cabin, but obviously that can't be the case then. I am hoping 🤞🤞 that they won't leave it till embarkation to give us cabin number, I will be stressing out by then. What happens to your suitcases if we don't know cabin number? Anyone know?

Am I getting mixed up with Princess as I thought we had to register a credit card ( or debit card) in the information on the Cruise Personaliser before we sailed , but if we do I can't find where. I definitely know we have to on Princess so I might have been thinking we do on P & O as well.

Sorry the last bit was supposed to say:- How can I get both cruises to show on the new app as they are both later in the year?
