First time with P & O so we were not sure what to expect, arrived around 11 am to check in, once this was completed we board around 12 noon. Cabins would not be ready till 14.30 but not a problem as we had lunch then went to explore.
Plenty of bars to choose from, we liked the planet bar and Glass house best . We ended our evenings at the Java bar, listening to a very good group, when they finished a piano player carried on, which we could still hear as he was on the floor above in the Blue bar. Manhattan very good for entertainment if you could get a seat!, theatre was more easy but only went once as so much choice of entertainment and you just cannot do it all.
We had a table in the Oriental restaurant, good choice of food, waiter service could have been better, felt as if we were thrown our menus then immediately asked if we were ready to order. Wine waiter was very good though.
Good size, plenty of storage space. still had a view as cabin between two lifeboats. No noise. Convenient position on ship.
