Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
I have not had anything from P&O yet regarding that, mind you I have no tours booked for any of those islands so maybe thats why. I wonder why they have changed it.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
Very strange that you both havent received email. Others travelling with us have had the email.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
I have just had a call from our travel bloke telling us he recieved a message from P&O, I said I bet they have changed the order of islands, then I told him how I found out. I dont think I would have noticed if no one had told me though, I just seem to get on a ship and get off when it stops.

Listening to all the trouble going on, makes me wonder if we will get to Casablanca, It seems the troubles are quite close. I wonder if any other ships are going there.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
I think a lot of it is down to the government, if they think its a bit dodgy the travel industry will be told to avoid. Worth keeping an eye on though. As this is your first cruise I dont think it will bother you too much if we miss any islands, Oceana was our first P&O ship when she was new to the fleet and to be honest I didnt care if we never got off I just loved being on board. We was back on her for Xmas and I must say she is still an impressive ship. Just be prepared for the future to become expensive because you will be hooked.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
It will most likely be fine but something worth keeping in mind the way they are going on out there

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
If we didnt stop in casablanca would we go to another port or just miss out completely?

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
It depends if another port could take us at short notice, if not they could cancel but I am sure all will be ok.

Re: E303 - Atlantic Islands
ahh well at least money will be refunded on excursion!! As long as the weather is hot enough to use the pool I will be okay with that, except we did originally book this cruise because of Casablanca!!
