It was a first time with P&O. Previously we had cruises with Norwegian Jade and AIDAstella. We wanted to see the new brand ship with really british traditions.
We are a couple at age 60 and 59.
Mostly the cruise was very good, starting from well organized check in, nice cabine, excellent food for dinner. Excellent dinner and afternoon tea in Epicurean restaurant.
The cabin was rather comfortable, especially the bathroom. Enough place for the bags and dresses.
Excellent cabin cleaning.
Shortcoming - we received twin cabin without option to transfor the beds to double. The water pressure in the shower sometimes was low.
We came to Southamton by taxi from London and enjoyed well organized check in in the terminal.
We travelled in Sothampton after the end of this cruise and before the next one B508. The city is nice, beautiful gardens and old buildings.
The problem was with shuttle bus tickets from the ship. The bus took us to the center of the town. We went to the hill top with Fløibanen funicular. Then we explored by ourselves the town center and the market.
We took local excursion by Rodne Fjord cruise to Lycefjord. Excellent trip, nice places. Then we went to explore the town. A lot of small houses with beautiful flowers.
