P&O Cruises seeks volunteers to ‘test’ cruises
First time cruisers are being given the chance to test out the six ships run by P&O Cruises.
Free holidays are being made available next year to 12 families, couples, or friends who have never been on a cruise with the company before in the ‘Inspector Cruiso’ consumer initiative.
Participants chosen by the line will receive a credit of £300 per family or £150 per couple to spend on board to ensure they get the chance to try out everything each ship has to offer.
In exchange, they will be asked for their thoughts and opinions about the cruise, from check-in to disembarkation.
The line’s managing director Nigel Esdale said: “Despite the explosion in the popularity of cruise holidays and people becoming more aware of what is on offer in the market, there are still people that think cruising is not for them.”
He added: “We are prepared to put our money where our mouth is and offer free holidays to people who haven’t cruised with us before.
“Winners will have the chance to tell it how it is and their views will be posted on the P&O Cruises website. We want to ensure that we get the real views of new comers and transparency in the information received.”
Entrants must fill in an online questionnaire, choose the ship they want to travel on and why.
The closing date for entries is February 1, 2008 with winners notified by February 28.
Volunteers who think they fit the bill can go to http://www.inspectorcruiso.co.uk/ to find out more about the requirements of being an Inspector Cruiso.
