Where do i start...First tip. If you've cruised with either Carnival or any decent cruise company do not expect much from P&O. Don't expect a decent size room (especially the bathroom). Ship was refurbished 2017 (not impressed). On day 4 i decided to wash some clothes...big mistake....not only was there only 1 out of 3 washing machines working but whilst my clothes were washing, machine broke down...had to take wet clothes next level up where 2 out of 3 washers working. Be careful eating in the Pantry....you get Luke warm food and very little variety (maybe try Angelo's for dinner and the waterfront for breakfast). Don't expect any decent entertainment at night (unless you pay for it). Cruise really only caters for kids under 12 or big drinkers over 18. I wanted to play poker on the table in the Casino only to be told the table had been broken for a month (but noticed no poker machines were broken down...funny that) We wanted to maybe enjoy some music on the top deck every second night or maybe a decent stage show that we didn't have to pay for (isn't that why we payed almost $1700 each for?) but forget it they only have games for kids or movies for kids. The best days we had were when we visited the Islands. If your looking for a good cup of coffee in the morning then don't go to the Pantry unless you like a weak tasteless coffee, you need to go to the Cafe ( where you pay $5 for a coffee). I hope i gave you an informative review. P&O you lost my trust.
