What type of traveller would Select Price be good for?

Select Price is a perfect option for families, first-time guests and anyone who likes to have more choice and flexibility. It gives you peace of mind prior to your holiday, as you know exactly what you’ve booked and what to expect when on board

With Select Price, guests can choose their cabin location. Why is that a benefit?

Choosing your cabin allows you to select the cabin position on the ship that’s most convenient for you, whether you’d like to be mid-ship to avoid motion, close to the lifts or restaurants for convenience, or simply next to your friends and family.

What are some of the other benefits of Select Price?

Besides being able to choose your cabin location and dining style and time, Select Price also lets you choose between on-board spending money, coach transfers to and from Southampton or car parking at the cruise terminal (for Southampton roundtrip cruises only). We also offer free shuttle buses in ports where they are provided by P&O Cruises.

Why might a guest want to book an Early Saver?

Early Saver is ideal if you want to book in advance but are also looking for great value. You wouldn’t mind where your cabin is located or what time you’ll be dining – you know that whatever you get allocated, you’ll make the most of it.

Saver is a last chance for deal-seekers to get a last-minute holiday with P&O Cruises – it’s a good option if you find you suddenly have some spare time and would like to spend it on a holiday.

What price type for you?

To help you create your perfect holiday, there are further options. Simona Remeikaite, personal cruise leader at P&O Cruises, helps us break down the details to help you discover which will work best for you.

Being able to choose how and when you dine allows you to plan your holiday the way you want it. You can choose between Club Dining and Freedom Dining: Club Dining (available on all ships except Iona) allows you to choose from two set dining times and then dine at the same table at that time during your cruise. With Freedom Dining, you have the flexibility to visit the restaurant when it suits you.

There are a few things to consider here:

- Do you want to select where your cabin is located?
- Do you want to know and plan what time/who you will dine with?
- Do you want shuttle buses to be included in the initial cost?
- Do you want your travel to Southampton covered?

If you answer ‘yes’ to the above questions, Select Price is the one to go for. If you’re looking for value, Early Saver or Saver will be a good alternative.
