Review summary

This is our 3rd Caribbean cruise. You cannot beat P&O for the ease of travel and itineraries. Just a shame the entertainment let it down.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth. We had special assistance arranged due to my wife’s mobility issues

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR good choice of food. Plenty of help for my wife and her gluten free diet. Although we believe she got some cross contamination in the buffet restaurant. Labelling and special diet separation in the buffet restaurant needs to be improved. Vegan, gluten free and dairy free is stored side by side which can be confusing to which food is for which diet and possible cross contamination issues.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Disappointing compared to Royal Caribbean activities available.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
We’ve been on many cruises with different companies and we were very disappointed with the quality of the main shows. In our opinion very amateurish.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Always clean but as said by others starting to look tired and dated.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
This was our first non-balcony cabin. It was okay and it was nice to get natural light into the cabin. Room steward Calvin was very helpful and worked hard.

Ports of call

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

4 out of 5
20 minute walk to the local beach. Water taxi available. We got 2 sun beds with parasol and 6 bottles of local beer and WiFi for $25. Don’t expect much from the WiFi

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

4 out of 5
Did a 2hr taxi tour of the island. This was good although they tried to cram more people in without success.

Castries, St. Lucia

4 out of 5
Done some good excursions when we’ve been here before so this time stayed on the ship

Bridgetown, Barbados

4 out of 5
We did the excursion Cat caribe and turtles. Not cheap but well worth it.

St. George's, Grenada

4 out of 5
Stayed on the ship. But have previously been here and got a water taxi to a local beach for a few dollars

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Beautiful beach a short walk from the ship.

Feedback was given to the P&O entertainment manager/director onboard and to P&O post cruise.

Glad you had a nice cruise. Only thing I'd say though did you complain about entertainment? Because unless p&o get feed back nothing will change.
