We were allocated a cabin on sunday

 

Hi I’m also booked on the Iona on 21 stAug wonder if we will be bumped off this one also 🥵

Just had an email from P&O telling me that my booking has been cancelled due to the government's extension of the passenger capacity limits.

We were booked on Britannia for July 4th (B113Q)

Got to try to cancel travel insurance and car parking now🤬

Wonder how many others will get bumped off?

Hi me too booked on same cruise so disappointing wondered why we hadn’t been allocated☹️

Got our cabin allocation yesterday, was very relieved to see an allocation. Also just had our travel agent on the phone checking we had all the correct paperwork etc and what to expect at port, full lateral flow test, thought it might just be temperature check.

Excellent news still waiting for ours to be allocated ☹️Starting to get excited and a bit nervous really hoping the first cruises go ahead without any problems and looking forward to reading the posts🤗Our cruise departs 4th july

Not had my cruises cancelled on Queen Victoria just swapped over to same itineraries to Queen Elizabeth

The video where they explain it all is very comprehensive. 

 

At least you still have your cruise - that’s good news!

 

Sad for the worldies though. 

 

Yes very disappointing for them feeling lucky I still have my cruises

So are they different dates? 

 

Why did they say they were pausing? 

 

Cunard always seem to cancel first …. Which is good of them to make it easier for passengers. 

No same everything apart from ship 

Hi just had an email from Cunard about the next pause in operations our November and December cruises will be now transferred from Queen Victoria  to the Queen Elizabeth still same itineraries though

That's what happened with this year's June cruise. The balance date was moved from March to May, and then cancelled. I had a sneaky feeling that this October cruise was going the same way, so we jumped before we were pushed.

Looks like it’s going the same way as last year it’s the uncertainty that’s hard to deal with, because once you know you can accept it and move on someways it’s a relief not sure what to do☹️

It is probably at least an indication that they are no longer certain it will go ahead as planned...

Yes I thought it was something like that still no change to the payment schedule for my November and December cruises.

Seeing reports from the book of visage that payment dates for October 3rd cruise (not sure which ship) are being moved back to end of August. 

 

I did a dummy run on my October cruise and payment date seems to still be 28th Julyish (already paid so can’t see from my paperwork). 

 

 

Hi I’ve just checked my 1st October cruise with Cunard and payment now moved to 1st September is this an indication that it may be cancelled

I agree, although embarrassed to say my existing formals don’t fit due to weight gain ☺️,so have sorted a suitable outfit of separates, I need to practice wearing proper shoes with a bit of a heel.  
 

it might be exciting with a wonderful unexpected upgrade when you arrive. 
 

I’m trying to cut down on toiletries as it’s only 4 nights, as aiming to carry on and off, and I am generally an over packer. With sensitive skin I always feel like I need to cover every eventuality.  Telling myself for 4 nights I could manage anything with a few good basic multi use items. 

I keep telling my oh he doesn’t need much as it’s only four days hopefully it will give me more space 🤣we decided only 1 large case and 2 hand luggage should be enough, not expecting any upgrades as it looks like our cruise is fully booked🤗

Really that defeats there online check in where you do everything before arrival doesn’t it.  Have you checked the make a payment page just incase it is there even if it’s not on the personaliser. 
 

Glad I’m not the only one with the little packing routine, I have memories of a normal world, and as half term approached a spare 5 minutes would see me jotting down the starting of a packing list in my work planner.  I’m going in to this blind, and don’t want to check a long range weather forecast incase it says rain 🤣

Yep checked the payment page I don’t really mind where my cabin is located but it’s nice to know in advance so I can get my bearings it usually takes me a couple of days to stop getting lost on board 🤣just about to start checking what toiletries I need, in August 2019 we did around Britain cruise and to be honest the weather was a total mixed bag so I suppose it’s take a bit of everything so pleased that there will be a formal night it’s been sooo long since we were properly dressed up👍

I’ll be doing exactly the same as you a week later and so looking forward to it 🤗I’ve just checked in this morning but on mine it says cabin to be allocated when onboard 👍

Well we are off on a 7 night cruise on Viking Venus tomorrow. A brand new ship.

Lots of testing and safety protocols in place.

I'm so excited to be going back to sea even though there are only 2 port stops and we have to take Viking excursions so that we stay in the ships 'bubble'.

Also operating at less than 50% capacity.

 

Have a fantastic time. Please let us know all about it 

On opening day

You need to check in vp, I didn't get an email. 

In vp go to Check in and on the first page at the top the stateroom number is there.

Ooh how long is that cruise?

Hi Sue it’s 12 nights on board QE our favourite ship, we love cruises round Britain and to be honest not bothered about the weather if it’s not raining it’s a bonus 😅

Hi I’m booked on 1st October round Britain with Cunard hopefully it will still  sail but my B2B cruises in December to the Canaries and Spain who knows🤫

17 minutes ago, Pink-belle said:

No and No.  I am expecting a formal night though.

 

I have not received an email yet, and finding the cabin number was not straightforward, tickets etc available 3 weeks beforehand so May get more information then. 
 

 

Please keep us informed when you get more info, wish P&o would email about booking extras and what entertainment is available just to add to the anticipation it’s all part of looking forward to the cruise 😀

We had a run out to the lakes and went over Kirkstone Pass.

Lovely photos we love the Lake District too, we had an afternoon out yesterday first time since lockdown coffee and cake in a cafe very nice but felt anxious at being so close to strangers hopefully things will get better as we come more out of  the restrictions 🙏
