Gosh, you're going to the EU. Aren't you scared you'll get caught up in World War 3?

Wouldn't know about social climbing DN I have reached my elevated status, promoted by others. I know some are feeling the pinch and if they are Brexiters, I have little sympathy. We will still get by :|

Apparently it was Boris who made the reference to WW3.

No fly Caribbean and US cruises on P&O.
I have just been researching cruises and prices for another round trip Caribbean and discovered that all the small ship aficionados are paying higher prices for their cruises than I will be on Ventura.
Prices per person per day are:-
Aurora from £83 - £104 (Xmas cruise) for insides, £129 - £131 (£158 (Xmas) for balconies.
Arcadia £79 - £81 (£106 Xmas) insides, £112 - £117 (£152 Xmas)
Oceana £77- £80 insides, £118 - £148 balconies.
Oriana £70 - £85 insides, £154 - £168 balconies.
Ventura £75 - £80 insides, £107 - £114 balconies.
I do so appreciate that those who prefer the smaller ships are subsidising my cruise on a newer ship with better amenities, especially for wheelchair users.
By heck its a good job we booked this before the end of July, from August the base balcony price has increased by £400pp, now that does begin to look like a bargain.

Was on the p and o website early this morning looking for a friend who will be a first time cruiser.
Arcadia to the Baltic next week J717

It must be a faulty system because the !dad in price of £999 shows no single supplement and that price is the same for inside,outside or balcony.

Have emailed her to book on line they would have to honour the price. If I wasn't going on the Adonia next week I would give it a try with the booking.

Let's see what happens.

Not necessarily. P&O operate "fluid" pricing so the price can change from what you see to what is available when you try to book.

Not sure if its a bargain compared to others. 14 night Southampton to caribbean. Free coach from Manchester, 100 pound on board credit for inside cabin and flight home from barbados. Just over a grand each. On board azura. October this year. I'm happy enough with that.
