  1. If you are doing the Fremantle to Fremantle Indonesian cruise they will do it onboard. We were asking for weeks some P&O staff said you had to get it yourself others you could get it onboard! We got an email last week saying they do it onboard but only for AU NZ passport holders. We got ours online from official site, I got my visa Tracey did not? after about a week she started getting emails with her passport photo saying hi! Embassy in Perth said the official site is not secure, took us about 3 weeks and many complaints until we were able to hunt down her visa via the secure payment system chatline. P&O are very slow at giving correct information. If you log into your cruise control there are emails top right you will start getting correct information and instructions 2-3 weeks from sailing.
  2. P&O AU have a total breakdown in Cruiser Information re Indonesian Visas Lol. Everyone on the Indonesian cruises by now would have received notification that the "Visa On Arrival" can be done onboard as in previous Freo To Indo cruises although P&O info said different LMFAO! The stress relief of getting your own B1 VOA or not came way way too late! Even though Corporate told me it could be done onboard as in previous AU- Indo cruises, call centre staff had "No Idea" and told all cruisers they need to get it "themselves" Some even paid $60+ each above the visa cost for T/As to get it for them! For me this is a serious breakdown in communication information issued to P&O call centre staff! Its like this, we are well travelled and like to be "On The Ball" re visas for overseas cruises But the P&O info for this cruise caused us (and I am sure many others) massive stress. Both Tracey and I have spent Hours and Hours with P&O on both the phone and via email! Then to make it worse the Indo Embassy told us after a visit in the Perth CBD that the online site for B1 VOA is not safe for information sharing?? This was proven to us by Indo scammers contacting Tracey by email posting her passport Pic saying "Hi would you like to meet up"? We had to get a direct address from Indo Embassy to search for Tracey, paid for VOA! I also got banned from Facebook and A strike from CC for venting my frustration. P&O really need to lift their game plain and simple ! P&O Au no table cloths no loyalty programme! "non travelled overseas" call centre staff obviously paid peanuts lol I have one more P&O booked for next year and then we are "Out"!
  3. I might just get to Terminal check cases and have a casual lunch Ashore until check in! By the way my Email has been spammed by official Indonesian Visa site! We visited Indonesian Embassy yesterday and they told us the official online visa application is not safe? Who would have Thought! My house has probably been sold with the info We had to provide, ID theft runs very deep. 😞
  4. I dont eat as much as I used to but in the past it was a scramble to get early boarding! this time we actually chose 2pm for a 4pm sailing because we are leaving from home port. I might change it to 1.30pm so I can get a small nibble.
  5. Because our cruise does not have any formal nights when and where do you get the canapes? We have them on 2 nights come with the Ultimate Romance Package. Cheers
  6. Do you reckon we will still have time to eat? Buffet closes at 3pm Cheers
  7. We have a cabin that can be a queen or bunks, the top beds come down on top of the bottom to form a queen with no space under the bed. They have added extra cupboard space for case storage but my wife's case is way too big! P Explorer.
  8. He should contact P&O By phone (this is the only way I could speak to a P&O rep in Australia) And ask what the charges were for so then we all know.
  9. I noticed you can now buy just one premium drinks package it used to be all adults in the cabin had to buy it. How will they stop people sharing the one package? or dont they care given there is now a limit of 15 alcoholic drinks per 24 hour period. I have had the unlimited on RCL before and just didn't like the availability of that much booze, I am mainly a beer drinker but I stated hitting the top shelf just to chase the spend and I didnt enjoy it. Tracey rarely drinks more than 3 drinks a day and I could no way drink 15 beers a day and we both don't drink fizzy drinks other than soda water but its tempting to get one package and share it! I am a fool for marketing because I swore I would never buy another booze package.
  10. So my P&O booking site has been saying "Come back 3rd Feb" to pre book Daily Restaurant choices, Well we work it all out for the 13 nights but when I go to book on 3rd Feb it tells me all Included restaurants must be booked once onboard via the App or at Dragon Lady Deck 6! The only dinning I can pre book is "Specialty Dinning" Just as well we are late diners ! I think we will just turn up anywhere we want with a take it or leave it attitude!
  11. I don't really care if I eat every evening meal at The Waterfront! You can never go hungry on a cruise! But with just us 2 I want shared tables for the crack! We really miss Set evening dinning because it always ended in great table guests reciprocal or not even in US 🙂
  12. We just have a standard balcony so seemed worth it, so what canapes do I get and when/where do I get them? Is it on Formal/Theme nights?
  13. Another question is Angelos DL and WF closed on port day evenings especially if in port overnight. Cheers
  14. I actually bought the Ultimate Romance Package (Not for the romance lol) But it includes a specialty restaurant value and am sure it can be used at Lukes? I bought it because it seemed good value given what it includes.
  15. Another vote for Angelos! So strange that most online and YT reviews say Angelos isnt great and DL is much better? I think I will stick with CC recommendations.
