Just for those who may not be aware, the price is for a Go Fare which is not one of the "Selected Fares" eligible for OBC.

You can upgrade to the Value for for an extra $194 to get your $100 Onboard Credit inside or $151 for Oceanview obstructed :confused:

I often wonder if anyone actually takes up the pay an extra $200 pp for the $100 OBC for the cabin.

Wonder, if I pay $388 extra if they’ll I’ve me $200 OBC, or if there’s a limit.

It is $100 per cabin not per person.

The three fare structure for P&O makes no sense at all, except maybe to a marketing person.

 

I suspect that 99% plus of the fares P&O sell are Go Fares. The higher fares cost more than the price of the extras that go with them.

 

The only people that would buy the higher fares would be the terminally confused or those that failed to read the fare descriptions.

I get your point as I believe that the reduced deposits and later final payment dates are not enough of an incentive.

A bit more of an incentive than other cruise lines provide though.

My beef is with those that hike up the prices then give you a 'discount' on the high price bringing the fare down close to what it was all along.

That is what I call getting the Royal treatment.;p

It's that 'WOW, how do they get away with that?" feeling. ;)

Thanks us as Mic said Mrs Gut and work. Already committed 6 or 7 weeks LSL for 2019.

 

I think this year might have to be a cruise free year.

Unfortunately I’m dead serious.

 

It may change but looks very much like nothing this year. But then 35 days Hawaii next year.

Are you on Facebook? I see a lot of these one day bargains because I liked an online TA on facebook. The specials come out every couple of days and there are some amazing bargains. You just have to find the right site to cruise first.

The cruise lines have shot themselves in the foot in some ways with the amazing amount of overcapacity. Its all very well having 5,000 pax on a ship but they have to get them, and fill those ships ...EVERY NIGHT.

In the meantime ...deals abound.
