P & O

This is why my mantra has never been loyalty to any employer, you are but a number.

The owner of P&O Cruises, Carnival, is a dual listed company in the U.K. and US. A good chunk of the shares are owned by U.K. institutions which look after our money. So P&O Cruises is a lot more British than P&O Ferries which is wholly owned by a UAE company.
Not really sure what your point is.

Asda no longer American owned I believe the Issa brothers bought it a while ago

to warn others

Still doesn’t make any sense that a cruise line with nearly 10 huge ships should be expected to spend millions repainting its ships and changing every single item on each ship that contains P&O branding because another company has does something to tarnish the 200 year old brand. It would be cheaper and more sensible to publicly dissociate themselves from P&O Ferries which is what they have started to do.

Quite easy for them to reverse their name and still target their biggest market.

OAP Cruises coming to a port near you soon.

Just watched another faux anger performance at the Despatch Box by a Govt Minister - angry at a firm that is simply implementing employment tricks that the Govt support and refused to block.

And if you wonder why they get away with it then read this and see how intertwined DP World are with the Tory election promises

DP Worlds concerns

Maritime Union RMT to raise concerns with Government that DP World have been awarded Freeport contract despite not paying agreed pension deficit contributions.

What a moronic post.
P&O cruises are a completely different company with different owners!

Well they had better rebrand quickly because I thought they were the same.

Would be quicker and easier for you to educate yourself rather than expect a cruise line that has had barely any income for two years because of the pandemic to spend millions on rebranding.

mass production is nothing like "the old days", components are sourced from around the globe and then assembled by robots. The car industry being a high-profile example. Ship building and steel not so much. Electronics, phones etc have components from all over; where they are combined has very little to do with performance/value but a lot to do with foreigncurrency/roi/workers' t's and c's'. " Dyson

I'm no fan of Barry Gardiner, in fact I've often said he is as thick as mince. But credit for this.

Your in a nasty mood today, I thought it was a one off yesterday.
Clearly not.

When you have P&O ferries and you also have P&O Cruises you would tend to think they are the same company.
