the english lady Posted July 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2016 HIDo sea days on a P & O ship count towards your loyalty programme on Princess too , we have been told in the past they do but trying to clarify , any info appreciated , thank you All days on a cruise count towards your penninsular points, which in turn count on Princess. If you are on a 14 day cruise, that is 140 peninsular points that count on princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooked cruiser Posted July 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2016 But don't forget that although P&O days count towards Princess, Princess days no longer count towards P&O. This has been so for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooked cruiser Posted July 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2016 We have done 3 cruises with Princess (Just booked the Transatlantic in April next year) and many with P&O and are already Elite with Princess. Shame P&O don't offer the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john watson Posted July 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) All days on a cruise count towards your penninsular points, which in turn count on Princess. If you are on a 14 day cruise, that is 140 peninsular points that count on princess. This is very close to the scoring system. If you go on a P&O cruise for 14 days, Princess will award you 1 cruise credit (for the cruise) and accredit you with 14 days cruising as the number of days you have cruised. Under the Princess Captain's Circle Loyalty Scheme there are two ways of scoring: a number of cruise credits and b number of days cruising. Whichever gives the better score against their requirement for a loyalty level dictates your status in the scheme. Peninsular points are not relevant per se.

Paul10000 Posted July 3, 2016 #7 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I totally agree that points should work both ways. As a Carnival shareholder (like many more on here?) I want people to cruise on ANY of the Carnival ships not to defect to RCI etc. If I could use my P&O status on the other lines I'd be mush more likely to stay with Carnival. This situation of a one way with Princess is ludicrous. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why its only applied to those two is prior to being bought by Carnival Corporation P&O used to own Princess and the rumour was that Carnival only wanted Princess and not P&O but couldn't purchase one without the other.

Remember it was not a take over. It was a merger. As it was to have been with RCI but with P&O having the largest share.

davenew Posted July 11, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2016 HIDo sea days on a P & O ship count towards your loyalty programme on Princess too , we have been told in the past they do but trying to clarify , any info appreciated , thank you Just got off Emerald Princess, and had a long talk with the PC rep on board. He told me that Princess use the points accrued on P&O for benefits, but P&O do not accept Princess sea days towards their scheme. I can verify this as we were Gold on Princess (why I had the conversation), although it was our first booking with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are elite on Princess and I saw a Princess ship ... Once.

That is the deal which relates to having the minimum number of shares. I wont go in to detail about Sitmar, lol.

Pennbank Posted July 11, 2016 #13 Share Posted July 11, 2016 From what I gather P&O are again thinking about re designing their Loyalty Programme. I received an on line questionnaire with loads of different scenarios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser1955 Posted July 11, 2016 #14 Share Posted July 11, 2016 From what I gather P&O are again thinking about re designing their Loyalty Programme. I received an on line questionnaire with loads of different scenarios Yesterday I received a follow up questionnaire to the one sent out in June asking for views on various options. Part of the questionnaire asked about including benefits, not just from Princess but also other Carnival brands but the emphasis was on Princess. Replies were wanted by 15 July.
