P & O Cruise discounts

Stavros_3

If any of you cruise with P & O, I have saved hundreds for myself and friends. Firstly book direct with P & O and get the best discounts you can over the phone including on board credit and free car parking at Southampton. Once you have your price and booked contact Bolsover Cruise Club, tell them what P & O are charging you and what additional discounts they will give if booked through them. I just got an additional £650 off the cost of the cruise and another £150 onboard credit for my hugh drinks bill lol. Saved a couple of friends of ours 700 quid. Its worth doing if you cruise with P & O

Hi Stavros,Well done for getting the additional money off your P&O cruise.However, I would be a little wary of booking direct with P&O and then trying to get another cruise agent to "take over" your booking. P&O are not obliged to release the booking, and you may find you get stuck with the original booking at the higher cost. Cancelling wouldn't be an option, and you would lose your deposit.Cruises are invariably cheaper through cruise agents (or which Bolsover are one of many) and are usually already highly discounted. Currently the vast majority of P&O business is channelled through their agents.

My thoughts exactly. I am a seasoned cruiser and if you book and pay a deposit to P&O direct, then you would lose that deposit, if you re-booked with an agent, so it's false economy. I am a regular cruiser and if you research it properly, you can get much better deals through an agent, ie OBC, no CC charges etc, and you can do better than Bolsover in most cases.
