I choose this cruise for my sister's 50th birthday and New Year's Eve.
As soon as we got on the ship we felt it was not as welcoming as cruises we have been on with Princess Cruises.
I sailed with P&O in 2006 & 2010 and we enjoyed ourselves immensely and I find it incredible that the standard has dropped so much.
The cabin was good and spacious. We had an issue with air conditioning on day 3 but that was sorted quickly
I boarded in Sydney
Nice day at the beach
Toured the city on our own
Nice day swimming and checking out the markets
Did our own thing as excursions are too expensive
