Just a quick question.

Does anyone know if the frozen fruity slushy drinks from Costa are included in the drinks package?

Hi we always book a select price cruise when the brochure comes out every year

Usually the price difference after the discounts and with perks usually makes the price cheaper or same price as an early saver

But after looking at the latest brochure the difference is over £300 after discounts

We are booking at Baltic 2021 on Ventura and as we have a child we have a good idea where our cabin will be as there are only a few cabins with multiple occupancy so we are booking an early saver this year

Has anybody else noticed the difference this year

Hi we are thinking of booking an eastern europe cruise 2021 on azura when they go on sale

I was wondering can we book a cruise without the flights and make our own arrangements and if so will this be much cheaper

Thanks

All sorted now thanks

My wife rang up and enquired but we had already opted out of upgrade

Also the cruise is sold out so noone wilk be getting upgrades anyway

Thanks

Hi are booked a select price cruise on brittannia transatlantic for this october

As there are 3 of us in the cabin so we booked an obstructed view cabin with sofa bed so we can have a double bed as well as a single bed and wont be having bunks as we always do.

When booked they asked if i would like an upgrade if available for which i replied yes.

If we get an upgrade will it have a sofa bed or could we possibly be upgraded to a cabin with bunk beds

We booked through an agent would i be able to ring them and ask for no upgrade now as we dont sail for 4 months

Thanks

Hi we are doing october 2019 transatlantic with our 14 year old daughter

Also on the same cruise 2 teens from her old school are going so i reckon there will be quite a few teens

I know when i tried a dummy booking last year the website would not allow us as there were the maximum allowed on board in my daughters age group

We hired a car and did loads

We drove the golden circle we got our car about 8am and back on the ship by 6.30 pm

We stopped at pingvellir national park for about 3 hours

Then onto Gullfoss waterfall for about an hour and a half

Then we stopped at Geysir for about an hour

A quick 30 minute stpp at skalholt church

A quick stop of about 30 minutes at Faxi waterfall

Then stopped and walked around Kerid crater the weather was coming in and it started raining quite heavy so we only stayed about 45 minutes then drove back to the ship

It takes about 2 and a half hours to actually drive the Golden Circle but you can make your own plans and stops

We did a few other stops like feeding the wild horses (TIP - take a few apples from the buffet in the morning) and stops for scenic photos etc

While driving you will see other cars in front of you pull in at the side of the road or in a layby to feed horses or take scenic photos and we did this a few times

There is hardly any traffic even in Reykjavik city itself so do not worry about driving it is so easy just make sure you book an automatic it is much easier

Good luck and have a great time whatever you decide

Hi....wow....that is a brilliant price...less than £55 each per night and in school holidays....bet you can't believe it.

You are right i could not believe it.

We booked right away.

We looked at going on Iona but we wanted 2 weeks away and guaranteed sun.

September 11, 2018

We always look at going in the 6 weeks holidays but I will not pay the bumped up pricing which goes on.

But this year P & O are giving free child places on selected cruises and i could not believe the offer we got.

We paid £2300 for me, my wife and our daughter who will of just turned 15 by then

This is on Azura 23 August 14 day Med cruise. This is the last 2 weeks of the school holidays where we live.

So if you have children take a look.

Great bargain.

hi we booked a cruise for next easter but did not realise at the time that the kids go back to school the day after easter monday and we didny want our daughter to miss any school.

so about 3 weeks after booking our early saver my wife rang p and o direct and she got a lovely lady and after explaining our mistake we changed our cruise from a 1 week azura fjords cruise to a week earlier on the ventura

we had originally booked an inside on our azura cruise but changed to a balcony on ventura the total cost was only £200 more

also the lady said the £100 to change our cruise was discretionary and we would not be charged and our future cruise deposit on our original booking had expired she passed it on to this cruise

me and my wife was very happy

we went mid may about 2 years ago and the weather was stunning

i remember being docked in flam and after a great day out on the railway into the mountains with snow at the top station we went back down to the port where it was lovely and i have a selfie being sat in hot tub with the snow in the mountains

the temperature was high teens all week

hi i have just had an upgrade on my upcoming 1 week cruise on brittannia 30 march

we had booked a larger inside for 3 of us when the brochure came out last year and received an email yesterday asking if we would like an upgrade

there was a list of about 11 balcony rooms but as there is 3 of us in the room there was only 1 room we could choose b714

so i happily accepted and we had to pay £100

i have had one upgrade before but never had to pay i wonder if this a new thing for extra revenue but i not moaning as after 8 cruises all inside this will be our first balcony:D
