Just returned from a p & o cruise on Azura disappointed as we cruised on Oceana seven years ago and were expecting the same, how things have changed with p & o, franchises on board for coffees and ice creams so cost of cruise will go up to indulge in these.

On Princess which we've done six times, we used to looked forward to a speciality coffee in the atrium café after an excursion and any kind of pastry or dessert was on offer. We are happy to pay for coffee, the difference being P & O you have to pay for the coffee to have food but on Princess the pastries etc are available all day and you don't have to buy the coffee, also the P & O café closes at 5 pm!

Breakfast buffet bit of a scrum, be better if all sides were open. Film choice on the Seascreen was awful and nothing shown during the day, agree with other reviews, often went to the theatre after dinner to find standing room only, didn't miss much though. Food was great though and we ate at Sindhu which is well worth the extra cost. We found the ship very clean but staff not that friendly also agree with others about the sunbed saving saga, too close together as well. We will book with Princess in future.
