Ray66 Posted August 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Anyone have any idea why Ocean Terminal (46) have no cruises leaving there after 4th November? All the ships due to leave from there have been moved to other terminals. I was due to depart Ocean on 5th November but have now been moved to Mayflower. http://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/Live_Information/Shipping_Movements_and_Cruise_Ship_Schedule/Cruise_Ship_Schedule/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted August 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I don't understand it, but the last cruises we've taken with P&O, in Jan '16, 17 and March 18 were all out of Mayflower. The first 2 were with Ventura to the Caribbean and back, and the only thing we could think of was there might have been better loading facilities for food? There was no obvious reason, and there were no more ships around at that time of year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray66 Posted August 8, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Someone on the Cunard board reckons it's having a major refurbishment which is a bit surprising as it only opened a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted August 9, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2018 If it's a major refurb, then why was it the same in '16, 17 and 18? The main fleet of Cunard and P&O are away on world, or long cruises, or settled in the Caribbean. There's very little other cruise traffic until spring. Perhaps Mayflower is cheaper to keep warm in winter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted August 10, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Interesting, I don't know why it would be but I would say costs would definitely be a factor for the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
