What happens if you print a few extra? ;)
Sadly we don't print the vouchers QB, just the folders. I could do you a deal on beer vouchers for the Leeds Beer Festival though!!
Pity :(

Much prefer Советское Шампанское. A mere fraction of the price. :thumbup: :thumbup:

On our last few cruises we have given our half bottles of Lanson away.
IMHO opinion champagne is just for posers who like to quote the makers name and vintage. it tastes awful.

Can I ask you then DQ,why have you not cruised with p & o since 2010?

You certainly can Kaziebelle, we always used to book the day cruises went on sale, we were booked on Aurora for Xmas 2010 and once final balances were paid this cruise was reduced by 50% ( this was prior to Getaway fares )

I appreciate you pay your money and take your chance but to pay £14k for a cruise and it is then reduced to £7k is not funny, in fact it is the cost of another cruise, I spoke to P&O and basically they said tough :roll: I asked if an upgrade were possible or perhaps some additional OBC it all fell on deaf ears so I made the decision that I would 'speak with my feet' and that is exactly what I have done, we have spent tens of thousands of pounds with P&O over the years ( 30+ cruises ) and that loyalty obviously means nothing :thumbdown:

Prior to P&O we cruised mainly with Cunard ( in the 90's ) so we have now returned to Cunard after a 10 year break from them and tbh I wonder why we ever left them, it would take an awful lot to tempt me back to P&O now but never say never :D

I asked my OH if she wanted to go out for the evening,she replied that she did but instead of going out for a drink,could we go and look for her car that had been stolen the night before.in fact,we did find the car with the help of the local constabulary so you could say that we found each other as well as finding the car.what a chat up line...I'll go out if you help find my car,I'll bet its a first!
Why is it that...

To my mind DQ you've done the right thing. If you don't like what one company does, don't bleat take your money elsewhere. My only query would be, given the reason you walked, why Cunard?

I know you've been with them before but they have operated Vantage and Getaway in exactly the same way as P&O. Their reservations people are, if not exactly the same people, probably seated in the same room armed with the same script as P&O. The likelihood is you'll get the same treatment.

Very true Mervyn and why Cunard when they all come under the same umbrella the simple answer is I prefer to sail out of Southampton, there is choice in the summer months but not so much in winter.

My experience was prior to Getaway fares being introduced but once they were I certainly wasn't go to get caught out again ( for such a huge amount ) so I have booked Getaway since, I choose my grade very carefully in the knowledge that should I get the grade I've booked I will be happy with the cabin position and the same applies should I be upgraded, it has worked out pretty well and I've had some excellent upgrades.

Of course it doesn't always work in your favour, I was tracking a cruise for May this year and missed out by waiting too long :roll: but there will always be a ship going somewhere with empty cabins even if it means getting on a plane to join it.

Ah well that's good.

But after what has gone on in recent weeks, I was just a little bit wary and odd things jump out at me.

There must surely be something in the forum T&Cs to stop multiple people using one login and thus causing great confuzzlement to innocent bystanders..... :crazy: :wave:
