I was a bit dubious about P&O as I thought it would be older people and all Brits but have just had a great cruise. The ship was modern, spacious with a good selection of bars and restaurants. I couldnt believe there were over 3000 on boar as nowhere seemed crowded. There was some hogging of sunbeds but always somewhere quiet to sit, which suited me more than being round the pool.

Entertainment was mostly excellent, especially the Freddie Mercury tribute. Absolutely fantastic. Theatre shows were good - get there 30 mins before to get a good seat. Sometimes the orchestra seemed to be in a battle with the singers but The Headliners are great singers and dancers. There was something for everyone so not all shows to our taste but we found somewhere else to go.

Could have done with some craft sessions on sea days - scrap boarding or card making. Also no speaker on upcoming ports or history of the region.

Cabin Review

Good sized outside cabin. Nice position as quiet off the atrium. Good low floor if its rough!
