An amazing holiday! I have cruised a few times as a child, but not since 2000 on the Sunbird. It has taken me nearly 10 years to convince my wife that its worth it! We chose the Fjords on recommendation from family, and P&O on reputation - the ship was simply the most convenient date (sailing on my birthday!) - further, the same cruise a week earlier or later would have been on Ventura, and I felt that she might be a bit too big, so Oceana it was!

Driving to and parking at Southampton was even more straightforward than I had expected, and check-in was so smooth I barely noticed it - soo much easier than an airport!

The ship was clean and tidy throughout the week, and the service in all bars and restaurants was excellent. As a lone couple, we chose Club dining on 1st sitting, and opted for a table for eight - a great choice as our table-mates were also couples, and we had a great time! Read more
