terrierjohn Posted April 9, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2018 You can book via a UK travel agent if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because P&O is basically just aimed at the UK cruiser, whereas the others are aimed at worldwide cruisers so their sites are setup to accept bookings from all over the world.

Dorset cruise fan Posted April 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted April 10, 2018 This is useful advice for travellers in USA, Canada and Australia. However the original poster is in Denmark. I think the only way is to call P & O or e-mail via the numbers given in my last post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above answer from P&O's Q&A website is either incomplete, wrong or maybe just out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONT-CA Posted April 10, 2018 #11 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I recently arranged a booking for Canadian relatives via our regular UK TA, although I initiated the booking it was done entirely in their name and address and paid for on their credit card, all over the phone with our TA. The above answer from P&O's Q&A website is either incomplete, wrong or maybe just out of date. As Canadians we booked our original P&O cruise with an on line US based travel system We attempted to book the next cruise while aboard but as Canadians we were unable to. So when we returned home we booked it with the same travel system previously used which by the way assures us of the on board credits offered through direct booking.

So when we returned home we booked it with the same travel system previously used which by the way assures us of the on board credits offered through direct booking. As an addendum to the above, having booked the original cruise at what we thought to be an acceptable price, we saw that price thereafter fluctuate, primarily upwards by as much as 30% as we approached the sailing date. Whether or not that indicates favourable early booking or just original error we cannot say but our original quoted price held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydstosser Posted April 11, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Please guys... we are in 2018 and P & O is a company??

Krydstosser Posted May 9, 2018 Author #15 Share Posted May 9, 2018 We have ordered a cruise.... Our favorite cruises was Celebrity Reflection and P & O Azura, both wonderful cruises and ships. We prefer to order online, that was not an option with P & O so Celebrity won our creditcard this year :D Maybe next year P & O website accept foreign costumers and their creditcards....
