oAlgo Posted November 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Hello, This is my first post here 🙂 I want to book a Baltic cruise (12th - 26th May 2023 on Britannia), and disembark at the last port of call (Copenhaguen) before the ship gets back to Southampton, and stay in Copenhaguen, but don´t want to book before I know if this is possible or not I´m trying to get this information before booking our cruise, but after speaking to P&O a couple of times they always say they´re going to answer by email, but this never happens. Any idea if this is allowed? TIA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if this is allowed? TIA!! Perhaps they are struggling to find the 36th May. It is unlikely you will be allowed to disembark early, unless they throw you off for being ill,or naughty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I could be ill or naughty... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molecrochip Posted November 25, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Yes, usually you can however they did suspend this for a bit over the pandemic and I don’t know if it’s back again. You still pay full cruise fare. Passengers join and leave at practically every port (mostly guest entertainers). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molecrochip Posted November 25, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Usually easiest to book direct by phone for this. Edited November 25, 2022 by molecrochip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranchi Posted November 25, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 25, 2022 We have had family members join us (New York & Andalsnes) and leave us (Gibraltar) mid cruise. All of these were pre- covid. We confirmed with P&O before hand and it wasn’t a problem ( they were a bit discouraging about Andalsnes as it was a tender port but we said we were happy to take a chance.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both times I´ve phoned, they told me that they´re almost sure it´s possible, but they would confirm by email and I´m still waiting for their email 2 weeks later.... I might call again on Monday and ask again Thanks for all your answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oAlgo Posted November 29, 2022 Author #9 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Spoke to P&O yesterday morning and they said that the person that I spoke to last week would call me back about this, but still waiting for their call or email. It´s been more than 3 weeks since my first call now, and I´ve told them that as soon as they answer I´ll be booking the cruise. Is there any other more efficient way to speak to them?

We have stayed several times in Copenhagen at the Admiral hotel which has an excellent location near Nyhavn etc. I would book the cruise and enjoy it then book a mini break to Copenhagen another time to enjoy wonderful Copenhagen.

Graham. Thanks Graham, but I have important work to do in Spain the same day (at midnight) the cruise ends in Southampton and it´s just to risky to try and disembark and get to Málaga in that same day. Finally I found a great Travel Agent that in 2 days got the confirmation from P&O that I can disembark in Copenhaguen, so I´ve just booked my first back to back cruise (Fjords + Baltic). We´ll stay 2 more days in Copenhaguen before flying back to Malaga I had already seen the Admiral hotel, looks like it has an amazing location!!! Thanks for all the answers!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will love Copenhagen. If you need a hotel near Malaga we have Stayed at the Vincci Aleysa in Benalmadena 15 times and it is fantastic. The Vincci group also have a hotel in central Malaga.
