Pricing

#1

Post by Stephen »

I don't normally do this but I have just looked at pricing for our cruise at the end of May on Azura.

Two adults, same grade cabin, same deck and mid ships, a cabin two doors away from us. Price now £3.424.00 more :shock:

How the hell do P&O justify that sort of increase. You would think with the cruise getting closer to sail day and with the current Coronavirus situation prices would be dropping not increasing.

Just goes to show booking well in advance as we did (12/2018) can pay off.

That's not the experience of a lot of posters on Faceache, they are seeing prices several hundred pounds lower than they paid, Covid19 seems to be taking the blame.

The trouble with Facecloth posters is a lot of them book nine months before their cruise and think they've booked early! They probably actually booked at the peak price time. We've never yet been let down by booking properly early. But for sure Covid will make a difference this year. They'll be wanting to resell cancelled cabins.
