Review summary

P&O need to cater for a younger generation, so to keep their future clientele, most if not all of the entertainment and activities was set in the 50's & 60's, newer modern entertainment and activities for the 20 to 50 year old set for 80's & 00's required, not the 70. Staff excellent however not much can be said for the majority of passengers with their comments and attitudes with lack of manners to staff and fellow passengers. This cruise was more Saga than P&O.

Ship Quality

No real problem, but due to the ongoing refit, it would be better to inform which stairs you could not use during that day.

I believe their clientele is geared more towards an older generation is that who can afford to take a 38 day cruise unless you are retired.
