onthemoney Posted August 10, 2007 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hey what a joke most people from P and O don't know what is going on of course they tell you that. Talk to those that have emailed them about problems on board. Or email them or phone them direct they don't know anything or don't want to respond, they just tell you that everything is leaving as normal (a programmed response) until you get on board or fly into your departure city.

get me away Posted August 12, 2007 #15 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Spoke to P&O today (Sunday) due to leave on Wednesday and they say pack but they wont know until the boat is in drydock, three different people employed by P&O claimed she was already there, and one lady on the phone yesterday said they were already at the drydock. Sorry guys but the people have admitted to me that they really dont have a clue, that they havent been told anything and we will have to wait. Very unprofessional, surely the engineers on board,who have been working on her for the last 3 days, while travelling from NZ, would have an idea if they can get her fixed or not. One lady from P&O claimed that the problem is caused by "a ten metre wave they hit" in the recent storm, and that they didnt notice the damage until later. I just want an answer..I am going NUTS..

Hi On The Money! I thoroughly agree with you. I had a two major problems with them earlier in the year involving an art auction purchase that never arrived and a wooden souvenier that they lost.:mad: I made lots of phone calls to their so called customer service dept but no one cared, wanted to know or would help:mad: . It went on for three months until the Dept of Fair trading got involved - that was the only way I got my money back:mad: . You are 100% right!!

I am sorry you have had such bad experiences but I have had a cruise canceled and several bad experiences with air con etc each time P&O gave us something .But I still love cruising and I have done 30 I have also been around the world on several trips and some of them trips were worse than any cruise I crash landed and was left in a third world country with three small children for 16hrs and nothing not even a sorry from the air line So it is not just P&O. I really hope your next holiday is every thing you are looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qt_esme Posted August 13, 2007 #24 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Sorry to the people who have had a bad experience with P&O. I have to say i cannot fault them in anyway, my last 2 cruises were fantastic and i cant wait for my next one on the Dawn! The way i see it is nothing is perfect and im sure luxury cruise lines have their fair share of problems too at some stage. I definatly wouldnt say P&O give second class treatment, and as going as far to say the company needs a bullet, i think thats a bit harsh! Geez if we did that to everything that made a mistake or stuffed up in some way we'd have nothing left!:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
get me away Posted August 13, 2007 #25 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I love the ships, even though they are ageing and a bit rough around the edges, but arent we all.. I love the staff on board, they are truely fantastic, but the management...well, I dont think too highly of them.. But why stop going on something you enjoy so much, just because of the few at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
