Having previously had 15 cruises we were very much looking forward to sailing on a new ship but what a let down the balcony on the ship was dirty (salt water spray all over rail,windows and chairs) not touched the entire week away and room creaking around patio door area when ship was doing 16 knots or more kept us awake at night. Apart from the theatre a couple of nights the entertainment was very limited unless you wanted to stand in a packed area (never saw the cruise director or who he or she was) also the casino was tiny for the size of the ship, the food available was first class both in the meridian restaurant and on top deck, The lifts were an absolute joke, when they were working, and not having stairs in the middle of the ship did not help, I have been on P & O cruises before and enjoyed them, it seems to me that they are trying to get you to pay for more restaurants, relaxing and entertainment areas on top of your original payment all I can say I wish I could have read the many poor reviews before I booked. New Ship no WOW !!!! Factor
