P&O - Extra Costs?
Having never cruised with P&O before, can anyone tell me if there are extra charges? Do they add tips to the bill and can you take them off. We did our own tipping on Athena.
Anything we should know before we go?

From what I can gather they used to add a gratuity percentage to drinks, but after some uproar from passengers, it was removed either late last year or early this year.
Unlike the other CCL brands I am also pretty sure that there isn't an autograt, but will wait and see if someone else can confirm this.

Ally, I think you are right, just found it somewhere else. No auto-tip
