This was our third cruise with our family and having only been on P&O before there was some trepidation amongst us as to whether it would reach our expectations and hopes... Suffice to say it did, and then some!

The food was fantastic and our waiters Kittipong and Peter in the 2nd sitting at Botticelli restaurant were brilliant. Marius the maitre d of our section was also exemplary. The food was faultless and the selection broad and every wish is made by these extremely kind and generous people.

Photographer, Nadia, was superb and produced some great family portraits for us - she couldn't do enough and even organised a special photoshoot for the kids. The pricing of the images is ridiculous and they haven't yet caught on to the digital age but I am assured they will. Basically if you want an image of the thousands that are printed (thrown away if not bought at the end) it will cost you $25 but if you just want it digitally to print as you wish later etc it will be $30 - a no brainer to me with repro costs being so much cheaper at home.
