bobstheboy Posted March 19, 2021 #876 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Are we all agreed the Plus price is an option, not compulsory ? As for links, no not that good and why should I ask when I know I am telling the truth ? Last comment on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCFC Posted March 19, 2021 #877 Share Posted March 19, 2021 In my experience you can pay for the Princess Plus once onboard, albeit on the first day only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Anarchy Posted March 19, 2021 #880 Share Posted March 19, 2021 3 hours ago, Selbourne said: That’s very similar to our view. We don’t particularly like sea days, especially in cooler climates as the ships always feel busy, but we are keen to see Iona so could be tempted by a 7 night cruise (max) if it was the proper (and very long) Norwegian Fjords such as Flaam, Olden & Geiranger. The cruise up and down the fjords is the highlight for us, but much of it is often missed due to it being early morning or evening, so if they were timed so that the transit was during the daytime we could enjoy the views from our balcony and venture out to the various select dining venues for lunches. This is where I think PandO are missing the trick with the coastal cruises programme. If they were taking Iona to Norway and going into fjords after say 10:00 and timing the exit transit appropriately, I probably would pay the £779pp for a week. I don't really feel like paying the current asking price for a spin round the Channel Islands and what i fear may be quite a bit of anchoring off the Normandy coast. Might have a re-think if the price drops though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m essentially agreeing with your verdicts and saying that these cruises most likely will have more than 1k onboard. If they are selling balcony cabins only you can count how many balcony cabins there are on Britannia and Iona and if there are 2 in each cabin you will get a pretty good idea how many are going to be on board.

Is the Monday booking phone only? Deposit? Date of balance payment, 30 days, 90 days? I understand it is 15% deposit. When I queried with my TA they had been given very little information from P&O and will find out on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have a re-think if the price drops though! Although I think that the prices are excessive, based on the fact that we have paid considerably less with P&O for a balcony cabin on a proper cruise (also, the £88.50 pppn that we paid in 2019 was Select price, with our first choice of cabin and dining, plus free parking on top, whereas the prices P&O are quoting are ‘from’ prices and Early Savers), I would be surprised if they drop the prices. The cruises are in a short time window and all those who had booked at launch would be up in arms! Whilst these cruises aren’t for us, I can see the attraction for many of being able to go on Britannia or Iona in the summer with no kids on board and in an environment where all fellow passengers are vaccinated. It’s the pure sea day itineraries that really put us off especially as, in reality, they are not going to be scenic unlike, as you say, the fjords would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't decide to do that with Princess or stick with the FO cruise we booked for 5 nights that visits Belfast and Falmouth.The Princess cruise works out much cheaper and is for a balcony instead of an inside.We will make a decision over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
