Avoid ROL

Don’t use ROL as a third party to book your cruise with P and O Ferries. I am trying to cancel the cruise I booked and get a refund. ROL say they won’t handle my query and refer me to P & O! So I go to P & O who refer me back to ROL. And im the customer stuck in the middle! Will someone please take responsibility. Ref 530547

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear of your frustration regarding this matter.

We would like to reassure you that we are actively assisting with your request and have already contacted P&O Cruises on your behalf to seek clarification and review the options available.
As discussed, any changes or transfers are subject to the cruise line's terms and conditions, and we are currently awaiting a response from P&O Cruises. Unfortunately, this process can take a few days as requests must be submitted directly to them for consideration.

We understand that waiting for an outcome can be frustrating, but please be assured that we are doing everything we can to support you and will be in touch as soon as we receive an update.

Kind regards,

I spoke to Oli who was extremely helpful in helping me book 2 cruises with you.
He checked out the different flight options regarding airports and flight class.
He gave me some very good advice regarding the cabins on the ships which was invaluable, he ensured that I got the best price available.
Oli was a very nice person to deal with very polite and helpful, he listened to what I had to say and dealt with it.
