Sail Date: May 2015

Without a doubt this has been the most hyped and marketed ship in recent years.

It was a huge let down, and although I had only been on one other P&O ship before, never again would I sail with P&O.

Nothing on this ship appears to be right, the theatre holds 900 people, the ship has 3600+ passengers, you do the maths. Unless you arrive up to 45 mins ahead of the show forget it. Any other ship I have ever been on the theatre takes about 40-45% of passengers per show, this is only 25%.Very difficult to judge the entertainment , as only managed to see 2 shows, which were good.

Cabin Review

Cabin nice (they call it cosy) as you would expect on a new ship, but the balcony is so small.

Port Reviews

Lanzarote

Have been in Lanzarote many times and covered most of the island, so did not do any trips. In my opinion Lanzarote is the most interesting of the Canary Islands.

Tenerife

Santa Cruz was rather uninteresting and it appeared to be more of an area for locals rather than tourists. Not a place I would ever return to. Not like the south of Tenerife.

La Coruna

Very nice port first time in La Coruna, made all the interesting because of the first visit by Britannia, berthed right in the town and we were given a very nice farewell, the only port to do this.
