Pretty Good Week on Emerald Princess

Additional details
Short itinerary and date was ideal - especially as we went as far South as Lisbon.
Travelled down a couple of days in advance just to elongate the holiday, stayed near Romsey at the Potter Heron Hotel - very good, visited Romsey Abbey, Salisbury Cathederal, and Poole Quay.
On departure day, dropped cases off at the Mayflower Terminal at 11:20, parked car at Southampton Airport - (£42.00), train and taxi back to the boat, thus saving over £30:00 on the CPS quayside parking charge. Boarding was swift and efficient (Elite Line), and so on board by 12:35 - result. Nice surprise to find our Cabin available -) pity P&O cannot emulate this efficiency).
Cabin Review
Interior
Typical Grand Class inside - good size plenty of space for clothes. Bathroom again standard size. Well maintained.
Port Reviews
Southampton
Great Shopping Centre, and great base for touring the immediate area - stayed about 5 miles away near Romsey Potters Heron Hotel - good break rates.
Vigo
Good Spanish Town, quite hilly for looking around, but well worth it.
Local Coffee shops excellent value at Euro 1.20 a cup - Starbucks eat your heart out!
St. Peter Port (Guernsey)
Not a great place
