14 Night Cruise to Mediterranean - Inside Cabin for 2 Adults 16th - 30th April £1198 via P&O Cruises

Inside cabin no thankyou

I know that this post is for an inside cabin but if anyone decides to upgrade to a balcony cabin be aware that Arvia (this ship) and the Iona have a number of "balcony" cabins on the promenade deck. If you get one of these then you don't really have a balcony, you have a patio with a low wall at the end. People wandering around the promenade deck can easily see into your patio (and your cabin if your curtains aren't drawn) and you have absolutely no privacy whatsoever.
There are some good videos on YouTube that show this odd situation

How does an inside cabin fit 3people, was looking for 2 adults and a child but where is the extra bed - cant see it on pics.

Great price OP, especially as it’s on the new ship.

Great price - booze would obv cost on top ! - but 14 nights cruise you’d put on a stone !

It’s P&O their not a company as last year for those that remember they got rid of 800 British workers for cheap overseas workers disgusting would use em if they were free ! O and their company directors just got £15 million bonus!

Mediterranean? Mainly Spain and two of those aren't on the Med.

Is that total or per person?

Can you open the window on an outside cabin?

Looks great
Does anyone know what time you have to be in Southampton to board the ship?

Amazing price - shame it´s not a couple of months later when it would be warm enough to laze around on deck, which we would want to do with so few stops.

Am I reading this right, that they authorise your card for previous day spends, but only at the end of the cruise will they debit the full amount spent for the entire cruise......meaning you will need essentially double the spend value available in your card as the pre authorised amounts are not likely to be released back as available funds until after the cruise?

Is this the same system for all cruise operators?

I would have preferred my card to be debited the previous day spend, not just pre authorised.



Your daily spend whilst on board will be authorised with your card provider at the end of each day to cover your spend for the previous day. Your card provider, as part of their standard procedures, may retain these authorisations for up to 28 days and this is outside the control of P&O Cruises. Until these authorisations are released, the available funds in the account could be affected. Payment is not taken from your account until it is finally settled on the day of disembarkation. You may wish to therefore contact your card provider on your return to release these authorisations. (edited)

P&O are part of the carnival group and offer good value compared to Royal Crribean, Celebrity and Fred Olsen. Like the big tour operators , if you can hold out until about 4 weeks befor or even 2 weks before you can get some good deals. The prices Tui are charging this years are ridiculous. For example we booked a last minut 10 day break last year first week of october to Zante half board for £380 and this year at the moment £840each. So what would i choose? cruise or Package hol with all the threatened strikes mmmmm now let me think.

I have only been on one (very short) cruise. It was like being locked inside a shopping centre that only sold toblerone for three days. I still get flashbacks if I taste chewy chocolate. (edited)

Funny old itinerary - 14 nights and only 5 stops, 1 of which isn't even all day.

P&O don't deserve any heat

No singles but it's 958 for a single which foe a 14 nighter isn't too bad.

I'm after one for September onwards.

Since the pandemic, have cruise prices generally changed any, ie. cheaper, more expensive (like everything else in travel ) or largely the same?

From Glasgow, what are my travel options. Looks like a 7 hour drive... Any other Park and ride type options available?

We are thinking of a cruise for the wife’s 40th with two kids 9 and 14 for something different. Would people recommend or not with kids? Thinking of Caribbean from New York?

Does the price include meals?

Does the price include all meals? (edited)

I never really cruise the med tend to stick to the carribean alot less haven holiday at sea

HMS Braverman

Isn't this that company that deliberately broke the law, and glibly admitted it and said they'd do it again, by firing all their staff in favour of cheap foreign labour? Or is that a different firm :/

Any option for all inclusive drinks package at all? Couldn't see one. TIA.
