[scorpio gal]

have booked caneries cruise on ventura october 2011 have emailed pand o regarding 60th birthday cake/balloons at dinner on cruise .Reply was they no longer do complimentary birthday gifts due to lack of demand .Has anyone had experiance of this or is this something new for next year?

P&O have charged for a brthday cake for a number of years. Nearer your cruise you should get the gift brochure and you can order the cake then - the balloons come routinely with the cake. Or you can order the cake once on board.

 

Have a good time.

You can still get the balloons and singing waiters, just see the head waiter to arrange. Cakes are from £6 upwards. See gift collection on P&O website for cakes and prices but you can order on board.

I arranged at reception. We were only on a 3n cruise that year for hubbies birthday, but still got it arranged ok, they ask what you want iced on cake too, whether sponge or fruit. They used to do complimentary cakes, we got one on out Silver Wedding Anniversary evening when eating in Orchid, but now they charge all the time, unless you catch them on a good day lol.
