We picked this cruise because it was the only one from Sydney, which would coincide with our 50th wedding anniversary. This would be our first cruise, so had no idea what to expect. Mini suite was a big surprise, roomy, pleasant decor, very clean. First and only experience of the buffet was very disappointing. Queues a mile long, uninteresting food, desserts comprised cake or jelly. Children had easy access to the food and touched quite a lot (although this is the fault of parents, not necessarily P&O).

We found the waterfront restaurant, very, very good and enjoyed sitting with different people every meal.

Seminars were never ending!!! Every single day. And more than once. Art seminars, finance seminars, seminars on how to be fitter, younger, slimmer, more focused. You name it, P&O had them all! Read more
