Topic: Pow! P&O's new early bird deals pack a punch

QUOTE:

fuming we just book azura for next year asked about any free coach transfers told none on offer uggg

Last time they did this the prices went up to compensate for the Parking The coach was a better deal we would have saved a little bit traveling from Abergele .
We have booked one for the back end of 2012 so will be keeping an eye on the prices and we got free parking but will use Eavesway much easier for us.

we went with eavesway i agree taffy so much easier than driving down,anyway we booked now so nothing we can do if better deals come out just makes me so mad.

Why do people leaving posts feel they have to itemize all the cruises they have taken or propose to take? Is it showing off or what!

Yes! I do so agree..........................it is showing off. I try to avoid these bores when I'm on holiday.

Make me think that they are over priced in the first place.

So the cynics are right. Have just checked the price P&O would charge me today and - you've guessed it - it's over £300 more than the price I got, and booked, at the end of April, in spite of the "up to 20% discount" etc etc. What P&O giveth with one hand, it more than taketh away with the other. A bit of transparency and honesty from the cruise companies would be good.

You got it spot on just checked a cruise we booked for the end of 2012 and it has just gone up another £100 plus no doubt to compensate for the September sale.

Totally agree with you Anne. Don't know where they get their money from, must be very well off,or have a fantastic income!

On the Eclipse and all the other Solstice class ships there is very little difference between the Penthouse Suite and the Royal Suite except for the size. The royal suite suites meets our needs without having to pay almost twice as much for the Penthouse suites. On the Millennium class ships there is a massive difference between the Royal and Penthouse Suites and is well worth the difference in cost. All the equivalent Suites on the Millennium class ships are far superior to the same Suites on the Solstice class ships, but we do not fly anymore and there are no Millennium class ships sailing roundtrip from England.
I have changed my "Signature" My intentions were never to show off as I have been accused of.

I take it you like the Royal suite? I only say this because most people only feel the need to state the Ship and the date sailed .
