Never had anything from P&O when it’s been my birthday on board. But when it was birthday on a Celebrity cruise the stateroom attendant saw my cards and left a bottle of wine and a little card, was a lovely surprise when I got back and I was very touched. I wouldn’t want balloons or anyone signing to me, but recognition even in a small way is a nice surprise.

Thanks CaptainPedantic and wowzz great news we get the same benefits for another year 😎

So you had to book by 28/2/23 for the current shareholder benefits, can’t see anything on the page about extensions, wonder when they will announce if its continuing, or not? I have a cruise booked for May and next March so would be nice to have some extra OBC https://www.carnivalcorp.com/shareholder-information/shareholder-benefit/

I couldn’t use iPad for the boarding passes, although iPad could do the luggage label. Had to use a windows laptop to do the boarding passes. Couldn’t work out why.

We paid £54 for 2 seat reservations there in row 9 and back in row 12 (2x£27) there were more expensive seats closer to the front or with extra legroom. Our friends didn’t reserve and were allocated seats on checking in, they were split up on way back.

We had a block booking flight as there were non cruisers on it. I think it opened about 21 days before for checking in and printing boarding passes. I’m sure there was a link come up on my po cruises website where you check in for P&O worth keeping an eye on it around a few weeks before your cruise.

Yes https://www.jet2.com/pocruises worked for us on our cruise to the canaries last week. Using the P&O booking ref. We reserved seats, checked in, printed boarding passes and there was an option to pre order food. I was very impressed with them.

There are 6 cruises that now require tests on po website

It’s detailed on the website now https://www.pocruises.com/cruise-with-confidence/vaccination-and-testing-policy and which longer or complex itineraries require pre testing

Yep we had this on our cruise on Azura to the Canaries in January sent just before we had to settle the balance, I think its to try and avoid people using their transfer options if they have them. We have another in May so hopefully in the new year we might get something similar… that’s if they haven’t cancelled it as its to the Baltic and is one of the few left they haven’t yet cancelled… but that’s another story and topic!!

I had bought 100 shared recently as I thought it was worth the risk as the price is lower than it has been and have a couple of cruises booked, I had to wait 1 month to get a statement from Freetrade who I used to buy them. Emailed the statement to shareholderbenefits@carnivalukgroup.com and then a week later had the OBC applied to all cruises I had previously booked up to July 2023. You just need to give them your booking ref, ship and date of sailing. Hope that helps.
