Sail Date: Dec 2015

We had several grievances. The staff & crew were not at all welcoming they seemed tired and unhappy "just doing the job" attitude. The entertainment was extremely average the same two duos in the bars twice a day for the whole ten days, same pianist/vocalist in the same bar twice a day for ten days- yawn, same mediocre four piece band ( vocalist didn't know the lyrics a lot and read them on iPad), several acts in main Marquees room by the same group if young adults. Saving the boredom was a new act that came on at Adelaide was Donna Campbell doing a Dolly Parton act she was really good but only twice. They saved heaps on entertainment.

Food was fantastic! Even though there was a bun fight every night at the 7.30 session at the Waterfront, we changed to 5.30 to avoid this every night. The gym is tiny, claustrophobic and hot with same music played continuously. No message service on the house phones to contact friends. No happy hour.

Rooms were really good, spacious and clean with good beds. Need more signage on board people getting lost constantly. All in all paid good money for a budget time. No way we are going P&O again.

Cabin Review

Cabin Room with window

Very spacious, lots of store room, bathroom big enough for one person at a time, beds are comfortable
