P&O's MS Pacific Pearl - Deck 10 - Cabin 10141 - Outside standard with showerTerrific cabin layout with 16 large drawers, 4 shelves and plenty of hanging & suitcase storage space, plus under-bed storage. Location was excellent, very quiet yet close to lifts/stairs. No balcony, but a good-sized window with a good view.My measurements: cabin=5.7m/18'8" long x 2.75m/9' wide (15.6sqmtrs/162sqft); bathroom (within that space)= 1.9m/6'2" x 1.25m/4'1" (2.3sqmtrs/24sqft).

This meant missing out on getting a seat at your desired times;
* There were also long queues at Waterfront Restaurant, mainly due to insufficient numbers of staff to handle the number of passengers, and to assist in crowd control;
* We encountered a lot of pushing and shoving to get into the restaurant;
* After meals, the impatient hordes wouldn't let people out of the restaurant (they really need a roped-off lane to allow for outbound traffic);
* On one occasion, despite booking a time/sitting, it had 'dropped-off' the list by the time we went to the restaurant for dinner (luckily, they still found us a table);
* Asking for a coffee after dinner - even at late sitting - was like asking for a million dollars - although we did eventually get it, but they clearly didn't like it;
* An incorrect disembarkation label provided to us, nearly made us miss our bus to the railway station on disembarkation;
* Our credit card 'max'ed-out' after Day 1, and we were (incorrectly) told it was due to a breakdown in satellite comms, or that our credit card had been hacked-into.This was because all the restaurants on board close at 2:30pm every day, and remain closed (except for tea & coffee) until dinner;
* You can only reserve a table in the Waterfront (main) Restaurant, one day at a time, and not for entire cruise.
