This was our second cruise, but first P&O. We can't really fault P&O, the main problems we had were with our fellow passengers. We are a married couple in their late 20's from Sydney.

Pros: Our cabin steward (Ronaldo) was fantastic. La Luna was outstanding. Food at Plantation buffet was surprisingly good. Food at Waterfront was consistently good. Lifou and Pentecost Island were amazing. Large range of organised activities meant you could do as much or as little as you wanted. We did trivia each day and went to a Martini Master class.

Cons: Drinks service at Waterfront was very poor. Production shows were awful. Bars were too small and not enough of them (very hard to get a seat at Connexions in the evenings). Comedians weren't very good. Our cabin smelled like cigarette smoke for the first 2 days.
