Question 1

Important travel information

Accepted Answer

When going on a cruise holiday, it is important to be familiar with the following:

On board P&O Cruises, you pay by board pass. The board pass is also the key to your cabin. You link the board pass to your credit card or make a cash deposit at reception. Do this within 24 hours of boarding.
It is important that your passport is still valid for at least six months after the cruise ends. Also check via Visa Central whether you need a visa for the destination(s) you are visiting during your cruise holiday.
At P&O Cruises, the main language on the ship is English. Staff at reception and some crew members may also speak other languages.
If you need a cabin suitable for disabled people, you can search specifically for this when booking the cabin (if available).
Are you pregnant and would you like to go on a cruise? P&O Cruises welcomes all pregnant women up to 23 weeks pregnant. It is necessary that you can provide a medical certificate to show that you are still able to travel. The cruise line obviously does this in the interests of you and your child's health.
