Re: AZURA 313N
This really isn't good enough, is it we are hearing daily that people can't access their personalisers, can't print e-tickets and luggage labels, can't book tours, can't book flight seats ... time P&O sorted their IT out .. it's a joke

Re: AZURA 313N
I have managed to get into cruise Personaliser without any problem today.
It does appear to be sorted now.
They still have wrong information on one if our cruises and even though we have told them about it some weeks ago it is still showing us disembarking in Muscat which is a tender port when we have booked to Dubai with 3 nights stay there.

Re: AZURA 313N
They can't blame the Community Forum this time can they? It's certainly not a good advert for the company is it, and makes you wonder exactly what is happening down there. The last update on the P&O site was 5th March and nothing heard since then.Not good enough for those who are trying to sort out their cruises, their excursions and their travel documents.

Re: AZURA 313N
Hi Chris,
Yes getting closer now. 3 weeks today we will be Bobbing up and down in the BOB.
Need to try on some clothes today and decide what I am packing (again) keep changing my mind.
We still have not been allocated a cabin but hopefully this time next week it will all be sorted.
I just can't wait to get away from this awful weather. Just been to Boots for sun cream and other bits and pieces.

Re: AZURA 313N
2 weeks today we will be setting off for Southampton. Cases will come out of the loft this weekend to air before packing commences next weekend.
Still no cabin allocation even though the balcony grade we booked is showing as sold out.
Any one else excited yet?

Re: AZURA 313N
Wheeeeeee yes so excited only 2 weeks to go, can't believe the time is going so quickly. Half packed - all the flat things etc. Sure that I don't need half of the clothes that are hanging, looking at me.
My problem is that I have to pack for my husband and decide what he needs to take. I do so wish that there was just two dress codes, formal for those who like to dress up (not me) and smart casual. It is the 'jacket required' that I hate. I am OK but for a man, I am not sure. The only jacket my husband possesses is a cord jacket apart from a suit. Is this suitable? He has no use for a linen jacket, sports jacket or blazer. I am not buying one just for a cruise, already had to buy the dinner suit and dress shirts that will only ever be worn on a cruise.
OK I know that we could go to the buffet but I want to have the choice as we might really fancy the menu in the MDR.
I do hope we get better weather than here and that the Bay of Biscay behaves.
Hope, perhaps to meet some of you if my moaning hasn't put you off

Thanks for the tip but they only have one size and of course not the correct one

Re: AZURA 313N
Getting really excited now, collected my large suitcase from my son this week, and I have started putting things out. Hair cut and colour next weekend and nails etc all booked. Lists everywhere, packing list, to-do list, to buy list! Why do I also feel the house needs extra cleaning, no-one will be there!
Manically trying to sort everything out at work, seem to have about 3 weeks work to try and finish before I go and after a full week next week only two and half days the following week.
Just about to print off my luggage labels on to card so they are a bit stronger, this is the first time I havent received them in the post.
Oh well lunch time over so back to the enormous pile of work, I will need those three sea days by the time I get there.
Good packing everyone, hope to see you on-board.

Re: AZURA 313N
Anyone know what colour B deck cabin luggage labels are?
We have navy blue ones in the cruise book but would prefer to print out with cabin details on.
I seem to recall Pink for b deck. Am I correct?

Re: AZURA 313N
Glad you are happy with your cabin Sue, no upgrade for me, still I am happy with the cabin I booked.
My TA emailed to say P&O dont issue baggage labels any more and I have to print them off from the web site, which I have done (but only black and white). Always had them sent before with the cruise information tour details etc. I didnt tick to 'Go Green' but I did log in and book a tour very early.
I dont know what the TA have done for their commission, I asked for a confirmation that they have received my full payment .... nothing, and I had to email to check if they had booked my free parking, they did ring to tell me Corfu was going to be a tender port. But apart from that a waste of time, I have printed everything myself. The price was the same as going direct with P&O, think I will book direct next time, maybe while onboard to get some extra OBC.

Re: AZURA 313N
Hi Somergirl,
We booked this as a getaway and we were surprised to get cruise booklet with luggage labels. As the cabin had not been allocated the labels are Navy blue. We will print out new ones from the CP but like to colour them in the deck colour.
A few of the posters from Cruise critic are meeting up on 1 June in the planet bar at 10:30 am, we will be wearing garlands or flowers to identify ourselves. All are welcome.

Re: AZURA 313N
Hi everyone. We too will be getting the cases out this weekend and the hanging rail. I shall start packing after next weekend, as we have family coming on Bank Holiday Monday.
We did not go green either but P & O said we had, so had to print off our labels. I printed them on plain paper, coloured the edges with a green highlighter pen, as we are on C deck, and then laminated them, punched a hole in the top and will attach them with cable ties.
Sue, we are C deck mid ships on starboard side so will look up and give you a wave.
Only 13 more sleeps.

Somergirl, Well done an upgrade. We have done 25 cruises with P & O and only once been offred an upgrade from a balcony cabin to a suite on Oceana, down side was it cost us and extra £500, but well worth it.

Hope we can as well would be really nice to meet you and discuss the merits of Burnham on Sea lolSomergirl wrote:Hello Haveabeer
Well what a coincidence I live in Burnham as well. I dont finish work until Thursday afternoon, so I am planning to drive down early on Friday. Unfortunately I will be in with the riffraff as well! Although I dont like Champagne so it would be wasted on me as well, give me a nice glass of wine anyday.
Hope we get a chance to meet up and share highlights of life in Burnham!
