Webcams

[qbman1]

What's up with the webcam page? For the past two days it has not been showing the current location.

[qbman1]

The current ports are still not showing - anything been said on Facecloth ?

The question has been asked but not answered

[qbman1]

Probably because P&O don't know the answer themselves !!

Thanks anyway

There's a reply there now saying they will get their team to have a look at it.

Would be good to see them working properly again.

Michele

[qbman1]

Thanks Michele. That doesn't sound at all good - they were going to get "their team" to have a look at the old forum over a year ago ...... and now look at it (or not, as the case may be) !

[david63]

And before you ask QB - no I cannot put the webcams on this site

[qbman1]

Would be a good plan though.....!

[qbman1]

......and can you take over the Cruise Personaliser whilst you are at it please ?

[david63]

Why no go the whole way and get me to run P&O

[Susan Watt]

You couldn't do much worse than the current bunch

[qbman1]

Will he inherit Carol's sparkly P&O handbag ?

[Susan Watt]

He could even have the sparkly shoes to match. The dress might be a step to far

[qbman1]

It's a right lash-up now - they even have the same images on as yesterday

....and on average almost half of them are "currently unavailable due to satellite strength" - a problem which also afflicts Cunard ships, but rarely those of other lines. It also takes some believing at times, e.g. when two P&O ships are moored almost alongside one another, yet one has a working webcam, and the other doesn't.

[qbman1]

It doesn't get any better - what are they messing at. Surely it can't be that difficult ?!

Would you by any chance be referring to P&O's IT chappies/chapesses by any chance?

[Not so ancient mariner]

Just had a look at the webcams - and they are showing the exact same images as this time yesterday!

[qbman1]

They've been like it for a week or more....

[qbman1]

There's 3 or 4 people been out on deck on Oriana for nearly 2 weeks now. They must be getting hungry by now !!

[qbman1]

Do P&O actually realise, or even care, that their IT people are a complete laughing stock ?!

[david63]

Do you really need an answer

[qbman1]

Well, it bothers me. I can't believe that there is any other sizeable company in the world that is trying to run a business with a website that cannot do what it says on the tin. How difficult is it, for God's sake ?!

[david63]

How difficult is it, for God's sake ?!

Obviously it is very difficult for God's sake - but for a reasonably competent IT technician not that difficult I would have thought.

In fairness to P&O I believe that the webcam connection is outsourced and not in-house.

If it were only the webcams I wouldn't be too bothered. I can't log into my account, all I get are blank looks from the web page. If I click on 'forgotten password' all I get is a box with a perpetual Catherine wheel. I tried telephoning and they said they would reset it. I'll give them a couple of days and try again.
