I would have thought this unlikely but if cruising continues to be suspended? Edited August 15, 2020 by grapau27 Link to post Share on other sites

My TA said that they wired the money to PO in pounds, but PO said that there was no payment showing against my confirmed booking on a ship that was sold. The booking was still seen as confirmed on the PO website, many days after the ship was sold. It was a comedy of errors. I even asked PO how they confirmed my booking without receiving any payment. And is this their normal procedure of confirming bookings without receiving payment? They didn't answer that question, but instead replied that my TA confirmed to them that I got my full refund and they hoped that everything was ok. I don't care, I got my money back in 6 days flat! As long as you got your money back that's great. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm glad you got your money back in 6 days, but the fact remains that P&O had no input into the repayment process. Link to post Share on other sites

Graham - Carnival categorically refuted this rumour two weeks ago. I realise that these are difficult times, but premium cruising is likely to recover much more quickly than mass market lines, so why sell premium brands? And, the only likely purchasers would be some Chinese conglomerate, that would alienate 90% of the clientele! So basically, just clickbait. Link to post Share on other sites

Then how come PO confirmed my cruise and also kept it confirmed for over 70 days without receiving any payment??? Isn't that weird ? Link to post Share on other sites

drsel Posted August 18, 2020 #4113 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Likely an admin error, or qwerk of the system due to being booked under US rules via a US agent. I think that my giant US agent (the only official PO agent for the whole of North America) has such a great reputation, that PO allows them to book Cruises on credit. that would explain how my Cruise got booked without PO receiving the deposit.And getting a refund in 6 days flat from the agent. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ollienbertsmum Posted September 8, 2020 #4117 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Was this the thread where we posted about investing in Premium Bonds when we got our refunds?? I want to share my excitement. I won £25 with the money from the refund. Drinks all round folks! 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they need a gentle reminder about March. With all these new refunds being processed they could easily get forgotten and pushed to the back of the queue for a while longer.
