Rare ceeceeDee Posted July 23 #7 Share Posted July 23 You're officially invited to the notes comparison! 😂We'll have to make a diary note for the end of December when everyone should have returned from (I would assume) their last hurrah on P&O. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh...... Aren't we all? I still miss Pacific Dawn. She was a bit creaky around the joints, but she was a grand old lady. I know she is still tootling around as Ambience, but I'm sure she wouldn't have the same appeal/ambience (pun definitely intended!🤣). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazadelaide Posted July 25 #16 Share Posted July 25 We are on our last P&O Explorer cruise 9th-13th Dec. Taking our 2 grand daughters on their first cruise. Have always enjoyed P&O as a cheap and cheerful family line and hope the closure will not impact too much re staff and amenities as they wind down.

Ondine Posted July 25 #17 Share Posted July 25 I think of my PP at P&O who I have dealt with for many years. Before and all through COVID - booking-cancelling-moving bookings, through sales of Pacific Jewel, Pacific Aria and Pacific Dawn. Re-booking when they were sold. He has been an angel especially with my New Year family cruise (6 cabins) which was amended so many times trying to keep cabins together when cruises got cancelled constantly because of lock-down. I do hope they keep the current P&O staff to take care of Australian passengers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the good ones will be looked after, and pick-up roles with one of the other Carnival bands. Even to head back to the broader T/A community, the good agencies always seem to be chasing staff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddvgww Posted August 5 #24 Share Posted August 5 Sailing on Adventure on 25th August for 9 nights to Cairns. It will be interesting to talk to our cabin steward and dining room staff to see if they have been told about what, if any, impact the merger on 1st March next year will have on them. Also booked on Adventure for June and August next year so will be interesting to see if there are any changes after the merger. Hopefully you will be able to bring 2 bottles of wine onboard after 1st March and our Carnival platinum status will be acknowledged on Adventure.

Please let us know what the crew had to say later this month. I'd be interested to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
