Pacific Explorer Review
Maiden voyage: expected teething problems, not the disaster that unfolded!

Additional details
This was our first time on a P&O ship - we will never be sailing P&O again.
We booked "The Penthouse", it was a tired "Owners Suite" at best. This was not a great start - however it certainly set the tone for our cruise.
Safety: 1st port with tenders: an announcement had to be made that they were struggling to launch the tenders and apologies for the delay. Delay is one thing - safety is another!! What if we had have needed to deploy the tenders due to an emergency? The tenders were eventually launched but this didn't settle my concerns about the future reliability of the tender launch process!!
Cabin Review
This is definitely nowhere near the size and standard of the Penthouses aboard Eden and Aria. Expect little more than an outdated Owners Suite.
