The omens were bad before the start of this cruise. P & O decited our credit card a 2nd time 3 weeks before sailing, when infact we had paid in FULL 10 weeks before.
On entering our cabin A005, we found the door handle on the floor and the water NOT working. Had to use a public toilet. Air con worked occassionaly (100*f outside), so very hot in the cabin. Cabin safe contstantly locking which caused delays in the moring. Had the safe unlocked 5-times by reception.
All of this might be forgiven, But the food is really terrible, and this was not just our opinion. Constant complaints at all tables with food being returned constantly. Food is cheap and devoid of taste. Poorly cooked. Overcooked eggs with hard yokes, bacon congealed together with sausages out of a tin all swimming in a disgusting watery oily liquid. SOUPS WERE MADE FROM POWDER and somrtimes not mixed properly. I complained 5 times about the food, The so- called 'executive chef' was never seen. I did get to see the senior restaurant manager but he did nothing to help.
Nothing special. Seen a lot of use. Very bland.
