Review summary

Food was great but entertainment / shows very average. Really need to have an intranet for passengers to be able to communicate round the ship. Internet very expensive to buy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining room had great food quality. Buffet had a lot more choice but not as appealing.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Some activities should be repeated as they clash with others.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Very disappointing. Expected much better. Singers out of tune and shows boring. Best show was Love & Marriage. P & O have theme parties ( White party, Gasby party etc). Tropical dress code was not really useful.

VERY small for a family of 4. We booked SPACIOUS ocean view with balcony - dress to thin what we would have had if we didn’t choose spacious!
