As this was a repositioning cruise it was reasonable value. Food average, entertainment was OK. Destinations in Caribbean were good, would have liked to have visited Azores. As the cruise was sold as a fly cruise, the ship was 100% British nationals, we prefer mixed nationalities when cruising. Probably will not be doing P & O again.

Only dined in the main dining for for dinner (not speciality), food was variable, not always hot. Drinks were good value relative to other cruise lines.
Brodie's

The seating in this bar is very uncomfortable. Spent a lot of time here as lots of activities were staged here. Lots of high bar stools, other seating needs refurbishing.

Ship Quality
3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Good size, good location, well maintained. Like tea and coffee making facilities. TV system needs updating.
P & O cancelled due insufficient supplies to cross the Atlantic so we had to go back to Barbados to get more supplies. Meaning eight continuous sea days instead of 5 and 3. Very disappointing as we would not have taken this cruise if had known beforehand. Apparently we heard onboard this port is often skipped for various reasons. In the end we had to call in here after midnight to drop off some sick passengers,
Never been on a cruise with P & O where there have not been mixed nationalities. Look at our cruise history and h you'll understand, why we like p and o.
