Sail Date: Aug 2015
Cabin: Suite with Balcony and Bath/Shower

P & O apparently have rules that state that there won't be any noise from the upper deck between 12 and 7am .... but they don't stick to it and the duty managers don't seem to have the requisite authority to enforce them.

You know that there are smokers up on deck, but can forgive the intermittent chair scraping. The rest of the noise is intolerable - and I have ear plugs!!

We were woken almost every day by rumbling trolleys between 6 and 7am.

NOISE NOISE and MORE NOISE ....all day and all night. Read the main review

Some stupid mistakes in the cabin.

Smaller than most other suites with an unexpectedly small door (same as a smaller cabin).

Kettle, tea/coffee.

240v and 110v mains sockets adjacent to the bed.

Only a single 240v socket opposite the sink - fine for the kettle, but the coffee machine had to be plugged into the USA socket by the headboard of the bed - how crazy is that?

Balcony is very short. Only 1 sunbed, 2 chairs, 1 table. There was very little room to move around. Almost impossible to turn the sunbed. Overhang of the buffet deck means very limited sun - but of course you would expect that!

If you like ice - the cabins only have chillers - and so you should ask for ice to be replaced twice a day.

Butler service was excellent.
