No Brian, unfortunately not. As I understand it, Princess credits cruisers for their loyalty status with P&O (and, I think, you get more perks on Princess than the equivalent loyalty tier on P&O), but P&O doesn't reciprocate. You could always contact P&O and check if your Platinum status makes a difference.

Groovechick is right princess points are not recognised by p&o. They are the other way round.

 

I did Singapore to southampton last year,it was a excellant cruise saw some beautiful places, I did find the entertainment a bit naff though. P&o wanted £4k pp to do the Taj I thought that was steep so did not bother, I would loved to have seen it though.

We are elite on Princess and bemoan the fact that the benefits we get on P&O are not in the same league but we have booked the golden triangle with a 22 night cruise back to Southampton on Arcadia for under £2800

which seemed a good deal, my husband has been trying to get me to India for years but failing health has made me realise it's now or never, also as we have cruised P&O we got an upgrade to a deluxe balcony, so as the thought of being on a ship for three weeks scares me it will be nice to get back with no jet lag, I am thinking of taking up crochet again my daughter tells me it is very fashionable

There seems lots of deals including India also Arauru has many deals on the world cruises leaving from Southampton

 

Will so miss the free laundry !!!

Just back from Singapore to Cape Town leg of this year's world cruise. Aurora won't have the glitz of Princess (and no free ice cream!) but she's an excellent ship for long cruises with lots of sea days - loads of open deck space and public rooms.

Hi all,thanks for answers so far.Do they add 15% on bar bill and do they do a AIBP like Princess,cheers,Brian.

[CCFC]

They don't add the 15%, also they don't have a AIBP unfortunately.

They don't add the 15%, also they don't have a AIBP unfortunately.

Thats good,that makes the booze a little bit cheaper than Princess,cheers,Brian.

New to P&O, Stupid Question on board Britannia will I have to purchase an Oasis spa pass and a Retreat pass? or does one cover both?

(Next cruise Britannia t/a Oct 2016)

Cheers Buccaneers.
