P&O Cruises Restrict URLs

P&O Cruises have told agents selling their cruises not to use words such as P&O Cruises in their URL’s and the reason is obvious, P&O Cruises want to sell you their cruises themselves there by saving on paying out commission.

Technically this post would break their new rules on having the P&O Cruises brand names within the URL (what you see in the address bar) but as I no longer sell cheap cruises I guess it does not matter that much?

The likely outcome of all this is P&O Cruises ranking higher than any other website for terms associated with P&O Cruises.

Cheaper P&O Cruises Logo

Cheaper P&O Cruises

Cheaper P&O Cruises are on the way as P&O Cruises have announced that they are to cut the commission they give to travel agents to 5% in a drive that will hopefully mean that prices will be consistent wherever people look in order to buy their cruise holidays. The savings in the commission will mean more money spent on promoting P&O Cruises as well as cheaper P&O Cruises.

The good thing from the P&O Cruisers point of view is that customer service will now play a part in booking passengers and not just price. If the price is the same everywhere then you will only book with a cruise agent if they have looked after you well; well that is the assumption.

This will take effect for the 2012 Cruises and be promoted when the new P&O brochure arrives; we are not sure how much of a discount will be passed on but it does look like there will be cheaper P&O Cruises for everyone.
