P&O Western Meditteranean Cruise. Azura. 6th -- 19th May 2012

This was our first cruise (my wife's been on at me for years and I ran out of excuses this time!) so I didn't really know what to expect. I'd read a number of reviews but some were good and some bad.

Couldn't quite see the reason for airport style security before boarding but can't blame P&O for that. Read more
