We stupidly believed the Thompson reps who assured us "if you enjoyed Royal Caribbean Independence of the Seas you'll enjoy P&O Ventura" - please learn from our mistake; Royal Caribbean beats P&O at every level:
The whole ship seemed in need of a full refit.
Entertainment wasn't worth seeing - Karaoke had better singers!
An outside balcony double room on P&O is drab and poorly maintained - an interior room on Royal Caribbean is superior!
