We chose this cruise to surprise a group of friends. We had arranged for a late check in so we would not be detected! Embarkation and disembarkation went smoothly. Our disembarkation time was 0645 and we were off and home by 0740 after going to collect our car at Portside Parking.
After all the negative reviews we were more than happy with the Aria (we have cruised many times with both P and O and other lines) and thought that the decor and the lounges very well presented and welcoming.
Our cabin was clean. comfortable and although we thought that the shower over the bath may have caused a problem, it was good. Bed and pillows very comfortable
Bed and pillows very comfortable. Clean and well maintained.
