Received a full brochure from TA yesterday. Poor

Just checked the thin this is the life brochure again and it states

5% past passenger saving when booked by 31st May 2015

10% past passenger saving when booking a captain's choice cruise before 31st May 2015

and also an additional 5% saving on designated Peninsular cruises.

There does not appear to be any restrictions re limited to first two passengers at least in this brochure although it does state read t & cs in full 2016 brochure.My question is why not state this in the thin brochure

majortom10 the two cruise I am considering booking are not shown as Peninsular cruises in the thin brochure so maybe the restriction only applies to these cruises?

Scriv No would cost more money.

Thanks to everyone for help.Is this a new policy re discounts or has this always been the case?

Also just checked P & O website Terms and Conditions.Not found anything yet. Note it does state in thin this is your life brochure, for full terms and conditions please refer to P & O Cruises 2016 brochure, which you must read before booking. TA says brochure unavailable.

The reason I asked the question is I am considering booking two cruises, one of which is a captain's choice cruise and includes 10% discount and the other a 5% discount, plus TA discount of 5% There will be three adults sharing the cabin, all past passengers but TA has stated only first two passengers will receive P & O discount and third passenger will receive TA discount.Is this correct?

Can anyone confirm if all past passengers sharing a cabin receive peninsular club discount?

TA says brochures out 23rd April.

Thanks everyone

Looking to book cabin E248 or E249 on E Deck but note there is a white space in front of these cabins.I suspect this could be crew stairs/lifts and therefore noisy.Does anyone know what this space is?

Still Waiting

Have received the new thin this is the life brochure but still waiting for the full 2016 brochure.

Anyone know when the new full 2016 brochure will be out?

Update. Just received new thin P & O brochure. Benefits are choice of OBC, car parking in Southampton, return coach travel or airport parking. Also, if a Peninsular Club member and you book before 31st May 2015, receive 5% discount and if booking a Captain's Choice Cruise receive 10% discount. In addition, also receive 5% discount if booking a selected Peninsular Club Cruise.

There appears to be usual benefits of OBC, coach transfer or parking. Also 5% early discount, additional 5% discount on certain cruises for peninsular members.

The Brochure was much better when child price was listed as well as all grades of cabin for each sail date.

Thanks for the info and also the excellent picture of what can be achieved with a prime lens.

This is a great thread. I have a couple of lenses but was considering buying a prime lens for low light/night shots. Have looked at canon EF 24mm f2.8 pancake lens and canon EF f1.4 USM lens.Would appreciate your views on these lens or other recommendations.

Thanks for the advice.

great pictures.We have a overnight in port on our next cruise and I would like to be able to take some shots of the ship.Any recommendations for camera settings?

Considering booking cabin 6437 on deck six but have read some reviews which comment on noise/vibration in some aft cabins on this deck. Anyone stayed in this cabin or any surrounding cabins?

138east

Can you clarify some points?

If I book cabin 6437 or similar in that area, can I exit using this door to reach stairs and elevators or do I need to go all the way to the aft and then walk up outside corridor? In other words is this door for general use by passengers

Any idea what white space is between cabins 6447 and 6451?

Have read some reviews of explorer where passengers complained of vibration particularly in aft cabins, some complaining so bad they could not sleep.Have you noticed similar?

Sorry for so many questions but am particular about cabin location.Thanks

Looking to book an interior cabin on deck six, explorer of the seas. On the deck plan between cabins 6437 and 6337 there is a black line across the corridor .Is this a wall? On the deck above there is no such obstruction. Is the deck plan wrong? Anyone able to clarify?

Thanks Bob

Just back from Oriana three weeks ago and there was no charge.

Can anyone confirm prices of different drinks packages and anyone have a bar price list?
