This was a 4-day cruise from Sydney to Moreton Island and return. Whilst the cruise itself was very good, the standard of food and service was definitely below par. P&O Australia is generally cheaper than other cruise lines servicing Australia, and you get what you pay for!

The compulsory safety demonstration was awful, with both levels of the theatre overcrowded and apparently no air-conditioning. In future, if I cruise again with P&O, I will arrive late and, even though I might have to stand, I will not have to wait 20-30 minutes, crammed in like sardines in a overly hot auditorium, for the lecture to begin.

P&O have introduced what they call The Pantry for their buffet service. On this cruise it was self-serve, but many times guests have to go to several stations to get a full meal.

Cabin Review

Spacious interior cabin, with possibly the best wardrobe/storage space of any ship I have travelled on.
