Florry Posted July 26, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I had the same yesterday upgraded to a suite for £50pp. It sounds good but I bet the suite price drops to what we have paid anyway. Accepted it of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasthagotnowtmoist Posted July 26, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2015 If upgrades were in the offing would P&O contact me direct or my TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florry Posted July 26, 2015 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I'm not sure, I booked direct on this occasion. I think there are two sorts of upgrade, those you don't have to pay for and those you do. Mine was the latter and I got an e-mail. I suspect it happens when the cruise is under subscribed so the price is going to drop, and perhaps if you are booked in a cabin they think would be easy to re-sell. For example I was in an aft balcony, which lots of people like. My upgrade is a huge jump, I have been offered s mid-range suite. I wanted an aft suite which is the lowest range but this is not part of the deal - because of course they are more popular than mid-ship so easier to sell. I'm not sure if that makes sense or if I rambled. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperado Posted July 26, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 26, 2015 By the Barnham hotel? Also remember Timlick's the cobblers. Spent many pound notes in the Barnham Hotel Our shop was further down than timlicks....next to barnham joinery under the veranda. The other side of us was an estate agent where Petula Clark's mum used to work, then barnham post office before it went into the sperrings new build, then keith evans the butcher!! :) (apologies to all not involved, but except for "Change at Barnham for Bognor Regis" Barnham is not well known.)

Hope my cruise on 2nd Jan is under subscribed and my obscured balcony cabin is easy to re-sell. If not well I'm still on a balcony and on a cruise and in the Caribbean, what's not to like? Rick.

Florry Posted July 26, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 26, 2015 What's not to like indeed! We did the Caribbean a few years back but had an inside, still enjoyed it as much as all the others. It's generally the ship, people and ports that I remember not what the cabin was like. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florry Posted July 26, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Not sure if it's helpful Rick but when in St Lucia we did this tour and enjoyed it. At the time the old P&O forum existed and lots of people recommended it so we took a chance. http://cosol-tours.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
