Oceana. 8-2-16 – 14-3-16. We were offered a deal for this cruise and just couldn’t say no as the price was outstanding
Our 1st cruise with P & O and we were looking forward to it expecting the usual with maybe a British feel. We’ve always thoroughly enjoyed every previous cruise
Embarkation at the Mayflower terminal was slow, when we arrived after our recommended time the terminal was completely full of passengers and the only place to sit was the floor (this was after travelling for almost seven hours). Two and a half hours later and we boarded
Cabin Review
Inside Twin with Shower
Cabin OB
Some problems, basin didn't have cold water for the duration, the shower temperature had a mind of its own, the loo went out of action four times. The dressing table is behind the shower room door so you cant get in or out of the shower room if the dressing table is being used. A roaring sound behind the wall ( the wall with the dressing table). The mattress wasn't the most comfortable.
We found to be in a great position, very near the front stairs/lifts. Loads of storage space
Port Reviews
Madeira (Funchal)
Good value. In a small people carrier
St. Lucia
Good value and a good guide
St. Kitts (Port Zante)
Great tour company, tour in a car just four people, fab
Tortola
Good tour. Time changed to pm, but it worked in our favour as the weather improved. The tour was in a really old bus that was good fun despite the fact that we thought it would never make the hills! It did
Montego Bay
A really good tour operator. A long way from the ship on a private tour a little worrying at times, had to rush to get back. Arrived back at the ship 20mins to spare
Grand Cayman (Georgetown)
A good tour the only downside is your on a coach with 50 other people and so every stop 50 people off and then back on so it cuts down the time spent
Cozumel
As before the downside of booking through the cruise line is your on a coach with 50 other people and so every stop 50 off then 50 back on, also every stop is zooed out
New Orleans
Not far at all from where the ship docks, an easy walk. Great way to spend a couple of hours with buffet lunch. Highly recommended
Key West
Great tour on the coach, then to Trumans house easily done on foot as it isn't far at all. The ticket allows you to use the buses all day as hop on and off. Excellent value
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
As before the downside of booking with the cruise line is 50 people on a coach, although this time we were only on and off once. The Everglades airboat tour is a must do
Port Canaveral (Orlando)
As before your sharing with 50 people on your coach + several other coaches so everything is zooed out. The tour river cruise was fab though well worth it
Charleston
I thought it was a long way to go to see a tea plantation. A mistake as Charleston has a lot to offer. Having said that we booked this tour when we had two days in Charleston on the booking, this became one day for some reason best known to P & O!!
Ponta Delgada
The weather although not bad was very overcast and not ideal for this sort of tour, everything looked quite drab. Not a huge amount of info given by the guide
Southampton
No excursion. However arriving in the Mayflower terminal just after our allotted time the terminal was completely full of other passengers waiting to board. The only place for us was on the floor, we waited for two and a half hours to board. Tea and coffee to purchase!
