P&O Cancel Several Cruises for 2013 and 2014

P&O have been reviewing customer demand for next year and have taken the decision to cancel a number of cruises for 2013 and 2014 and replace them with more popular itineraries.

Customers are being offered alternative sailings and £50pp on board credit as an apology.

This is a shame for those customers that are already booked and now have to rethink their holiday plans and you have to question how P&O got it so wrong to be cancelling 6 cruises. Lets hope they get it right next year. However it does put some hopefully more popular itineraries on to the market details of which are below.

The cancelled sailings are:

Azura - 16 April 2013 - Atlantic Coast which is being replaced with a number of city break cruises

Ventura - 27 May 2013 -Canary Islands which is being replaced with a number of city break cruises

Adonia - 17 Jun 2013 - Northern Cruise which  is being replaced by a 16 night Baltic Cruise

Adonia - 25 Aug 2013 - Northern Cruise which is being replaced by a 14 night Norwegian Cruise

Oceana - 14 Jul 2013 - Canary Cruise which  is being replaced with a number of city break cruises

Oriana - 01 Mar 2014 - Atlantic Coast which  is being replaced with a 12 night Norwegian Cruise.

The new sailings are not on sale as yet but if you are interested in any of them just get in touch and I will contact you when more details are available.

Take your own wine on board Royal Caribbean

 Royal Caribbean have announced that passengers may now take their own wine on board their ships.
Passengers may take no more than two 750ml bottles per cabin on board and may consume it in their cabin or on the balcony free of charge. They may also consume it in a public area but will be charged a $25 corkage fee.

To prevent customers from smuggling anything else on board the wine must have the original manufacturers seals intact and if any additional bottles are found by the ship's personnel they will be confiscated until the end of the cruise.

Royal Caribbean have always been very strict regarding alcohol on board so it's good to see that they are moving with the times. A spokesman said it recognized that "vacationers may have a particular bottle of wine or champagne that they would like bring on board to commemorate a special day or event while on their cruise."
