Sail Date: Jun 2017
Cabin: Balcony Stateroom with Shower

Having used P&O before we chose this cruise because of the original advertised itinerary.

A very important change was made deleting a port stop near Ephesus Turkey (supposedly because of the political situation in Turkey) and instead visiting Sarande Albania. This has to be the worst place we have ever stopped at !!. After a tender trip ashore to find a grotty port full of beggars of all ages !!. We and most others didn't stop long !!! It can only be because of cheap anchorage fees for P&O.

Rant over. Apart from that everything else was more or less "what it says on the tin"

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom with Shower

Cabin JA

As previously mentioned the cabin could do with a facelift. It was probably the smallest balcony cabin we have had on a cruise ship, but it was adequate and kept clean and tidy by Daryl the Steward.
