First went on P&O canberra in the 80s' but this new one is not as good as the top class ones we have been on. RCI, Princess, and Holland America are the premier league ones.This new ship is very drab.The passengers who all deserve a holiday age in 80+ if you do not have a wheelchair,scooter,walking wheel frame or walking stick you are in the minority.This is meant to be a family friendly ship? No so the children like us like ice cream, £1.95 a scoop or £2.15 for a Magnum on a stick.All other good cruise lines have these free.The shuttle bus in ports are £4.00 each way other cruise lines are free.Gratuities are £7.00 a day pp.14 night cruise is £98 With 3500 passengers = £343.000,and tips not going to the crew who have told us they get paid in US dollars.The cabin and bar staff and restaurant crew are excellent..The Headline theatre holds 930 seats for 2 shows a night.= 1860, then with 3500 passengers this leaves 1640 people who cannot see the main show.Dining is moderate to poor..Health & Safety, washing hands with anti bacterial is most important, the Horizion buffet has sinks to wash on entry,but the main dining rooms dis not have until we reported it,the the sprays were put in place at the entry to the dining areas..If you go ashore you have the sprays on you return to the ship,but if have all aboard by 4-30pm the sprays are taken away at 4-15pm so the last people on board cannot clean their hands.

Cabin Review

Cabin balcony

very good, but a lot of noise from the entertainment rehearsals and main shows the viabration of bass guitars and drums through the cabin all night. Dont book deck 8.
