We travelled from Nottingham on a Southampton FC bus. Tables with TVs etc. very comfortable swivel seats - great luxury.

Any tips for getting through on the phone to Intercruises? I've been trying for a week and as soon as I dial, I get the message "Call ended". I'm using the number given to me by P&O. I also tried emailing, but no reply yet. Blooming nuisance keep having to try to get an answer.

We were in the Glasshouse on Aurora cruise 4th. June to 22nd June and the place was the nicest Glasshouse in the fleet. The food was fine although my wife had to send a steak back. Service was prompt, but we did have to wait for a table on a couple of occasions, once 15min. and once 20 min. They do say that you will always be served even if you have to wait.

Been like this for months.

Yes

Do hope the library reopens - we rely on it to save carrying lots of books on board.

We've taken a 2.25l wine box in our cases on our last 2 cruises with P&O. No problem. (A box this size fits perfectly in the 'fridge on it's side)

Library on Britannia.

We recieved an email fromP&O yesterday sying that booking for dining on our Aurora cruise on 3rd. June was open, but on cruise personaliser it still says 'Coming soon', How long before sailing can you book restaurants?

Well it was free in November last.

They've never charged for milk in the same way as they don't charge for ice. You can ask for a carton or a jug to keep in the 'fridge. I've always rung room service as soon as we've got to our cabin. Milk may be a service provided by your steward, but room service is quicker, especially if you're gasping for a cuppa! We always ask for semi-skimmed but I think they have full and skimmed as well.

No. It comes free.

Yes

Can anyone tell me what are the birthday special dinners on p&o. It says 'special dinner in a restaurant of your choice'. I'd like to know what to expect, what does special mean? Has anyone paid for and experienced the birthday package?

Just ring room service and ask for a carton of milk and then keep it in the'fridge

Unfortunately I recieved the following reply after sending all the neccesay details and photo to Stockperks; Unfortunately, per the validation rules we have from our clients, we had to reject your submission because it was too old. Can you follow the same upload process in the app but with legible recent images of your documentation (from the last 3 months)? These images should show: your name (that matches the Stockperks user name) the brokerage’s name date of the documentation the number of shares you own in companies offering perks via Stockperks I don't know what they mean by the last 3 months, my share certificate is 6 years old. What do they need?

If you can't get in via the app. just turn up at the desk and they'll try to fit you in although you may have to wait.

I want chips, not fries,not chunky chips, not skin on fries - proper chips!

I'd be inclined to query this, did you book direct through P&O or use a travel agent. You aren't getting what you paid for so I'd see what remedies are available.

Carnival UK have made this announcement today (29/9) "CARNIVAL CORPORATION & PLC REPORTS ALL-TIME RECORD REVENUE AND DEMONSTRATES STRONG THIRD QUARTER 2023 EARNINGS MOMENTUM" Why then has the share price dropped by 50p? Does anyone understand this, if so can you please explain?

P&O have apparently issued the following statement. "We have stopped building new ships with libraries. The reason is so we can have other bars, restaurants etc. there and the reason is also that, well, the amount of people who want to borrow a book and sit, in library silence on their Fun cruise was, we saw, getting less and less." They have also said that existing libraries will be removed from each ship as it recieves refurbishment.

I was dreading having to book the Intercruises coach transfer for our October cruise because it usually takes so long, but this time my call was answered on the first ring. They have obviously resolved their previous issues. Just thought people would like to know.
