Went on a 3 night taster cruise in May and loved it. Took my family this weekend to show them that P&O was worth a try and leaving their regular cruise line.

BIG Mistake - First the food; we like informal dining and after the first night there were two themed nights in the buffet restaurant - fish, and oriental. there was no alternative if you didn't like fish (or in my case are allergic to seafood), and when I asked if there was an alternative I was told to go to formal night, by a very rude head steward! The late night buffet was a few (not very fresh) finger sandwiches, chips and dried up pizza - definitely not up to other cruise line standards.the service was slowed down by having our cutlery and trays handed to us, and not being allowed to pour our own tea and coffee. Perhaps if the four staff they had allocated to this totally unnecessary task had been used to clear the tables they might have been cleared in a more timely manner

The 'Brought in entertainment' Lynne Fredericks what a charmless insipid performer she was! So much so that we took my elderly father to watch her, and left to get ready for the evening, and he didn't even know she was singing. Highlight of the entertainment was Flyright a soul/motown/swing trio who entertained in every way and were excellent.

Deluxe Stateroom with Balcony and Bath/Shower

room was large enough and kept wonderfully clean by our steward. It was a little worn and dated, but clean and tidy at all times. The best part of the cruise for us
