Review summary

Top tips for getting the most out of Ventura and P&O. (1) Food, the buffet and the select dining are both very good, very different but good in their own right. The buffet is open from 06:30 to 01:30 so you eat all day night if you like. Top tip, the room service breakfast is included at no extra charge, wake up to coffee and a danish and then stroll down for a full English. (2) Costa, you can also get a Costa in the Red Bar and Metropolis Bar as well as the dedicated Costa bar when they’re open. (3) with a couple of exceptions you step out of the lift facing toward the front of the boat (helps get your bearings). (4) The drinks packages are over complicated with lots of exceptions and rules that in my opinion just make P&O sound mean, all they needed to add was a fair use clause. The Ultimate package costs £40 a day, this equates to... 3 pints beer, 3 cocktails and 3 costa coffees (Regular coffee is free in the buffet all day) OR 9 pints beer, OR 6 cocktails, OR 6 glasses of wine, give or take. Every adult in your cabin has to have the same package and there are exceptions for a couple of items but these are just the bottles of wine or the champagnes. (5) You’ll find hairdryer, shower gel/shampoo and towels for the pools/beach in your cabin as standard.

I think you are a little confused about the drinks package . On their website it states ::Alcoholic drinks are limited to 15 beverages per 24-hour period (6 am to 6 am). Alcoholic drinks requested above the daily limits are at the discretion of the shipboard management
