When booking a cruise with P and O we've always booked direct online going through cashback websites such as Topcashback or Quidco and get 5% discount .

We got a good deal as well Cubie by booking onboard Azura plus we had some compensation credit from missed ports. Our next cruise will also be a Christmas cruise but on Oceana 21st December.
We'll be on the high seas at the same time then, Raimondo. Where is your jolly going ?

We always make the booking with our local TA where we have made friends with the staff over 12 years. They can almost always match the best prices, and often throw in a taxi to and from the docks. We did book on board once and had the booking allocated to the TA with no problem at all. They also telephone quite often often with ideas and offers.

We're round the Canaries too, Raimondo. Not sure whether the itineraries overlap ?
