chose this cruise as it was a British ship 11 nights on the Ventura first time with p&o. We had a fabulous time really enjoyed it nice inside cabin cabin steward was fantastic. Food was very good nice venues plenty to do. The captain was very nice and entertainment was good. Excellent sail away parties and very good entertainment. Drinks prices were OK and lots of nice shopping. Time ashore was very good. Only one we did not like was Vigo but that was our choice did not go onnany of the excursion so can not comment on them but all ports were eassy accessible. Embarkation and de embarkation was very well organization. Very bimpressed traveled by coach from Washington. Lots of elderly people on board but children's facilities were very good. We did not use the spar at all. Went to see some of the films shown on the afternoon
