One of two ships departing Southampton for short New Year Cruise. First (and probably last) time P&O. Just did not meet expectations in several areas. Food choice and quality were average, Cafe Jardin (Marco Pierre White) was well below average. I am surprised he would allow his name to be attached to such a poor venue. Stateroom A206 and Deck 11 required thorough springclean. Smelt of mildew for the duration of the cruise. Bars, maybe adequate for some guests but for anybody looking for a good cocktail bar, sadly lacking. After 1st day I drank in Tiffanys (Costa Coffee Venue) which served better drinks than other bars. The one positive were the friendliness of the crew barstaff and waitstaff. I did not visit shows so cannot comment on theatre entertainment. However a positive was the Jazz Trio playing nightly in Tiffanys. To the extent I thanked the pianist for what I described as the best Jazz pianist I have heard for years.
