Thanks

Thanks

 

Some of the ports have moved to different dates:

 

Sunday 14th - was St Vincent, now St Lucia

Saturday 20th - was Catalina Island, now Tortola

Monday 22nd - was Tortola, now St Maarten

Tuesday 23rd - was St Maarten, now St Kitts

Wednesday 24th - was St Kitts,now Antigua

Thursday 25th - was St Lucia, now St Vincent

 

The sea days, Grenada, Curacao and Aruba have all stayed the same.

Noticed today that N005 and N005A have had Catalina dropped out of the itinerary for March 3rd on the P&O Website - no replacement mentioned yet.

 

Hope we don't get a total reshuffle as N003 have as I have independant tours booked - hope we find out soon

Yes, after seeing Catalina drop from our itinerary on N005 we phoned P&O who have at last confirmed we will not be visiting.

 

They cannot tell us how this is going to change our itinerary yet:confused:

 

This is the itinerary for N003 which should have been the same as ours, it has changed around and is now visiting Grenada.

This is quite a change though, only Grand Turk on the same day !!

Just hope they tell us soon so I can change my tours I have arranged !!

[bee-ess]

Just noticed on the Cruise Personaliser that the Port dates on the Excursion section have changed quite significantly - to our new itinerary I assume.

 

I'm going to phone P&O to get confirmation tomorrow - probably be told that we are still going to Catalina !!

If they tell you that then they are lying.

As posted a while ago, it is believed (reliably) that the local authorities no longer permit Ventura to visit Catalina. Slipper is correct.

Just had confirmation to from our TA that the above itinerary is now the correct one for N005

Glad to see P&O are being consistent, in still telling their customers they will be visiting Catalina, when they know all too well there is no chance of it!

er, I don't see Catalina on the list!

[Johnthed0g]

Does this mean no P&O ships are going to Catalina??

[Norfolk Brit]

Correct.

 

Mary

[Johnthed0g]

So my Azura itinery is wrong then???

[Norfolk Brit]

Sorry, I misread your post. Afraid I've no idea if Azura is going to be allowed there, though as she's a similar size to Ventura, perhaps not.

My issue is not the fact that we are not going to Catalina but that P&O staff have constantly denied that there was any problem with visiting Catalina.

 

It has been obvious for some time that we were not going to visit Catalina but have been constantly told that we were - why could they have not have said that we were not going there, and a change to the itinerary would come later.

 

I can only assume that the reason they are not allowed there is their own fault in some way and they don't want to give that impression to customers.

 

I was even once told 'sometimes we cannot visit Catalina because ther are too many ships visiting' - as I have said before, master of bulls**t.
