I'm going to try to offer a fair and realistic account of our cruise, always mindful of the fact that cost cutting has resulted in a cruise costing around £60 PPPN.
We have cruised 7 times previously, of which one was aboard P&O Arcadia, and this ship, the Oceana exactly two years ago.
We were lucky with our parking, as we'd paid in advance for parking and shuttle transfer in Southampton, blissfully unaware that the company had folded, and that the service and booking was to be honored by a new company, so crisis averted there!
Tidy, clean, tired drawers and wardrobe, flickering bedside lights, broken air-con (said they'd sent an engineer, but it still didn't work)
Small poorly-placed flatscreen TV showing some movies (Paddington) on endless loop for 11 days
VERY hard beds, soft pillows, good shower and wash area.
Love Lisbon, clean and vibrant small city, we've visited many times before.
P&O charge £8 per person for a shuttle from the ship to the city.
Attractive seaside town, let down by relentless hustlers trying to make you buy fake watches or fake sunglasses, will not take no for an answer. It is impossible to look around anywhere without at least 3 people trying to extract money from you. Many, many people complained about this, and ruined our day out.
