Waju Posted June 6 #1 Share Posted June 6 (edited) We’ve had an email today telling us to arrive 3 hours later than our previously advised boarding time 🙁 Delays due to extra cleaning, Edited June 6 by Waju Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogybaby Posted June 6 #2 Share Posted June 6 We are also on this cruise and received the email, let’s hope the ship is thoroughly cleaned before we board as no one wants to ill. I don’t mind the delay if it prevents illness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogybaby Posted June 6 #4 Share Posted June 6 Ours too but on a positive I don’t need to get out of bed too early 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdan Posted June 6 #5 Share Posted June 6 Looking like a regular occurance on last few cruises. Let's hope everyone adheres to the 3 hour delay! My new boarding time is 15:30. Can imagine a lot of people still turning up at previous or earlier time causing big queues. Hopefully if so they will be put in the holding pen!!🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Windsurfboy Posted June 6 #9 Share Posted June 6 We are on that cruise, NO email. Travelling day before. Thought perfect timing, Holiday Inn , leave at 11am for 11.15 boarding. Will have to find way of killing 3 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraann Posted June 6 #10 Share Posted June 6 We are also on this cruise. Anyone know if the peninsular lunch will go ahead or be cancelled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogybaby Posted June 6 #11 Share Posted June 6 I think it will be cancelled as boarding will be after 2.30 pm. I assume dinner will keep to the original schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balaena Posted June 7 #12 Share Posted June 7 Currently norovirus onboard, my nephew along with many others have been confined to their cabin. Prior to embarking on the 26th May they were also informed to arrive 3 hours later. So much for cleaning the ship before you join. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Windsurfboy Posted June 7 #13 Share Posted June 7 Still no email, which is annoying if one comes a day after everyone else. We are going night before for the orginal 11.15 arrival , if it was 2.15pm could have gone Sunday morning. Window for cancelling hotel just passed. If no email can but turn up on time. Has anyone else not heard from P&O. The only hypothesis for no email is they are concentrating cleaning on buffet, quays etc. Or maybe hope to clean MDR for peninsula lunch first to enable it to go ahead , wishful thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noro is rife everywhere at the moment, not just on ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in 2002 on the Oceana when the Noro was onboard all passengers were taken off in a port and put up in hotels for 36 hours while the ship was completely cleaned throughout and that was the end of Noro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will take days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Windsurfboy Posted June 7 #22 Share Posted June 7 (edited) Yes I did book direct and have had lots of emails from P&O about this cruise. But nothing about delayed boarding. @Breezy5631 see you at 11.15 on Sunday, fingers crossed we aren't sat around for 3 hours Edited June 7 by Windsurfboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that should be reintroduced, it’s known that Norovirus can survive on hard surfaces, soft furnishings, curtains and carpets for some time.

Fraann Posted June 7 #24 Share Posted June 7 Can we drop our bags and then go off site if we have to wait the full 3 hours? It’s not far to Oxford street with its bars and restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been bought onto the ship with those who boarded the same day as your nephew. Edited June 7 by Waju sp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
