Great ship - been transformed into a floating care home. Needs cabin refurbishments asap.
Embarkation

Appeared to be chaotic with staff members giving out contradictory directions and getting angry with customers.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
This cruise was an ‘adults only’ - but by adults it was in practice over 70s!
The food choices were aimed at this demographic - menus were similar to those you’d expect in a care home.
Very frustrating to be charged ridiculous amounts for water - it’s about time P&O stopped this and increased the number of free cooled drinking water machines.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Usual selection of entertainment in bars and theatres.
No in cabin pay per view facilities- the wifi was so poor it was scandalous.
We paid over £400 for ‘essential wi-fi’ which would barely download your daily newspaper and social media.
In summary - the ship’s entertainment and facilities are like an early 1990’s time capsule. ☹️

See on board activities.
Ok, but entertainment aimed at very elderly audiences.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Can’t fault the staff - hard working and couldn’t do enough for us.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The ship is beautiful with classically decorated public areas - the cabins are in need of modernisation though.
As it’s an ‘adult only’ ship (code for very very elderly people) I guess they don’t get many complaints about lack of wifi etc.
The ship was spotlessly clean.

Ship tip
Lovely traditional ship - all facilities aimed at the elderly guests- cabins, wifi etc badly in need of refurb/modernisation.
Only accessible by shuttle bus or taxi.
Recommend taxi (approx 20 euros) - the shuttle bus was crowded, stuffy and very hot.
Old town is stunning and unmissable.
