We are seasoned cruisers, mostly with P&O but chose this one for the itinerary because it included Istanbul and Pompeii.
We flew from Manchester to Rome. Oh dear, our experiences at Rome both arriving and departing from put this airport at second worst one on our list.
Never mind, check in at the port to board ship was very efficient and we discovered we had an upgrade to a balcony cabin. Things were improving.
We were upgraded to E724 after having problems with the shower on A511,Balcony was a good size compared to A deck.Good accommodation and fabulous service from our cabin steward.Only problem was the rattling ceiling section which was like torture through the night. Pieces of card stuffed in did help sort it out.
