To reserve your cabin and lock in the final price, you will be required to either pay for your cruise in full or pay a deposit. Customers are advised to pay in full to avoid potential price increases due to exchange rate fluctuations since the prices for P&O Cruises advertised by Vacations To Go are converted from British Pounds. If you pay a deposit to secure your reservation, you will be asked to pay the remaining balance of your fare at the final payment due date. The final payment amount will be calculated by multiplying the British Pounds balance due by the current exchange rate at the final payment date.

Deposit and Final Payment

Note: Select promotions require full payment at the time of booking.

Cancellation and Refunds

Penalties may apply if you cancel or change your reservation. Penalties can be up to 100% of the amount paid, and deposits are often non-refundable. We recommend purchasing insurance to protect against covered unexpected events. Please check with your Vacations To Go cruise counselor for cancellation and refund policies for P&O Cruises.

P&O Cruises provides a variety of different dining options. Choose from formal dining rooms, restaurants created by renowned chefs, grill restaurants, food courts, tapas bars, pizzerias, and more. Club Dining and Select Dining are available on all seven ships. Club Dining refers to the traditional 5-course dinner with assigned seating at the same table and same time every night, determined at the time of booking. Select Dining allows passengers to dine at an alternative restaurant with flexible hours. Please note that a cover charge applies for Select Dining. Finally, Freedom Dining is available on the Arcadia, Aurora, Azura, Britannia, Ventura, and Oceana, allowing guests to dine any time and with anyone at select restaurants.

Main Dining Room Policies: P&O Cruises guests are assigned to one of two seatings in the main dining room for their evening meal, early or late. The early and late seating times can vary by ship or itinerary, but are usually at around 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively.

Dress Code: There are two dress codes onboard – evening casual and black tie. Stylish resort or leisurewear is ideal for Evening Casual nights, for example casual separates or dresses for ladies and open-neck polo shirts and casual trousers (not shorts) for men. Smart dark denim is also fine. On black Tie nights, ladies wear glamorous evening wear including cocktail dresses, ball gowns or even smart trouser suits. For men, dinner jackets or tuxedos are the norm, but a dark lounge or business suit and tie can be worn as an alternative. You can also wear formal national dress and military uniform. Shorts, t-shirts and swimwear are never permitted in the main dining room.

Beverage Policy: All beverages except tea, coffee and water are at an additional cost. Juice is included with breakfast.

Special Requests: P&O Cruises will make every effort to accommodate special dietary requirements and special meals can be requested at the time of booking. P&O Cruises can provide diabetic, fat-free, vegetarian, gluten-free and kosher meals.
