gadabout60 Posted September 17, 2017 #102 Share Posted September 17, 2017 If the cruise goes ahead, lookout for two blondes on the arm of one male! Ha ha. Husband will be wearing white dinner jacket. Ha ha - will do I usually cruise with my mother and this time we would have a friend on board as well celebrating her 70th so likely to be 3 "ladies" together - sadly none of us blonde!

annieuk Posted September 17, 2017 #103 Share Posted September 17, 2017 As I said previously we had our cruise with Adonia cancelled as she was going to Fathom. However, people can suggest what might happen and people can get hot under the collar as much as they like imagining the outcome but surely P&O will not announce what Adonia is doing until a decision has been made, ports have been arranged etc. All this postulating isn't going to get anyone anywhere. Wait until there's something to moan about - you never know, there might not be - yes I know the track record isn't good and we suffered and lost the holiday we'd planned - but we won't find out until P&O are ready to tell us and even then it's Carnival who decides, not P&O.

insanemagnet Posted September 22, 2017 #114 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ah, the old "we have not been advised" which fits with the politicians "we have no plans at the current time". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Fiederwater Posted September 24, 2017 #115 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Ah, the old "we have not been advised" which fits with the politicians "we have no plans at the current time". Yes, that is a very non- committal political type answer. Time will tell, but I have my doubts Adonia will be with P&O much longer. Hopefully CMV will buy her and we can then sail from Tilbury - just 10 miles from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully CMV will buy her and we can then sail from Tilbury - just 10 miles from us. I hope they wait until 2019 then to sell her, so we can do our D812/D813 cruises next June/July. Never mind CMV and Tilbury, Carnival can move Adonia to Australia as part of P&O Australia fleet, she would fit in nicely for the Pacific Island cruises.:cool: Rumour No.99. Then all you mob can travel 12,000 miles to get the 'Adonia experience.:evilsmile: Standby for incoming from the P&O UK stalwarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit ugly. Yes send Queen Victoria to P&O Australia, just retro fit 6 berth family cabins and big beer fridges, water slide up top lol. No need for black tie nights either, t shirts, board shorts and flip flops 24/7. I re name Queen Victoria - Pacific Victoria, may God bless all who sail on her.

Maybe the New Cunarder is because Carnival can charge top dollar for the fares rather than depleted pounds. this suggests they intend to concentrate the lucrative top end of the market with Cunard and leave P&O continuing with its slide downmarket :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisefan2012 Posted September 26, 2017 #121 Share Posted September 26, 2017 P&O Cruises Facebook page... We can now confirm that small ship Adonia will be leaving the fleet next year. The sale will be completed in March 2018 and Adonia's last cruise as a P&O Cruises ship will be D804 leaving Barbados on February 23 and ending in Barbados on March 9, 2018. Guests booked on any Adonia cruises after March 2018 will be contacted directly either by P&O Cruises or their travel agent in the next few days. We know this has been the subject of much speculation but as we are sure you can appreciate we were unable to confirm anything until an agreement was in place. During her time with us Adonia has captured the hearts of many thousands of P&O Cruises guests. She has ventured into new ports of call around the globe and has negotiated Icelandic Fjords, European rivers and Caribbean coves. We will be making sure that these discovery itineraries are continued on other ships in the fleet. With almost six months until Adonia leaves the fleet, we will ensure that each of the cruises in her final season with us are extra special and celebratory Apologies go out to any CC Members booked on Adonia post 9th March 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombatar Posted September 26, 2017 #125 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Looks like it is true, this is now on the Adonia page on the P&O website. Update on Adonia P&O Cruises can confirm that it has signed contracts for the sale of its 30,277 ton ship Adonia. The sale will be completed in March 2018 and Adonia's last cruise as a P&O Cruises ship will be D804 leaving Barbados on February 23 and ending in Barbados on March 9, 2018. Guests booked on any Adonia cruises after March 2018 will be contacted directly either by P&O Cruises or their travel agent. P&O Cruises SVP Paul Ludlow said: “During her time with us Adonia has captured the hearts of many thousands of P&O Cruises guests. She has ventured into new ports of call around the globe and has negotiated Icelandic Fjords, European rivers and Caribbean coves. We will ensure that these discovery itineraries are continued on other ships in the fleet. “With almost six months until Adonia leaves the fleet, we will ensure that each of the cruises in her final season with us are extra special and celebratory." We shall wait and see what replacement they offer us but I think they will be hard pressed to match our penthouse suite and £1000 OBC. I wonder if all the guys who were so keen to say that P&O would never do this are going to show their heads above the parapet now!!
