Mainly a return to cruising and didn't want a long cruise also was going to a place we always wanted to visit namely Kangaroo Island so achieved both requirements in one cruise and found cruise to be likeable and value for money also quite comfortable food was good, cabin was an oceanview class and was also good but next cruise will get a balcony to be able to get fresh air entertainment was also good embarkation and disembarkation was good overall a good experienceThe on shore trips offered were of a good cross section of available sites to see but I thought P&O's pricing a bit high and we only took a trip around Kangaroo Island with them the other ports just went ashore and found that there was shuttles provided either free or a modest fee by the towns so were able to see most of what was available anyway so don't assume you have to take the trips offered by the ship.
