Review summary

We have cruised with various cruise lines and have completed 35 cruises including this one and can honestly say it’s the worst cruise we have ever been on, we said whilst on-board that if this had been our first cruise it would definitely be our last. We have both been very loyal to P&O and other Carnival brands over the years and I am a Carnival shareholder too. We cannot believe how very badly the whole situation has been handled on-board the ship and also the difficulty and stress it’s been to try and resolve the many issues, after all we were supposed to be on holiday having a good time. 4 noisy cabins in 7 days, 8 key cards each and 13 days of no sleep out of 19 nights is just not acceptable.

So sorry your cruise was bad, but we were on this cruise and had a wonderful time, except the last 5 days at sea in storm Babet .

According to your profile you've completed 24 cruises. Let's get our facts straight if you're going to exaggerate.
