Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff all so friendly. My cabin stewart just was someone the ship should be proud to have as a staff member. He done everything he could to make me feel relaxed and enjoy the time onboard.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Cant really be faulted

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Spotless cabin, my only thing would it does look a little dated. Abit more modern would be nice. I do think the ship needs to consider younger generations aswell (no digs at anyone)

Ship tip

Enjoy it and make the most of every second. Be prepared for sore feet at the end of the day if your first time cruiser with using the stairs. I never used the lifts once, preferred the stairs.

Glad you enjoyed your first, but not last, cruise. You also chose the best P&O ship in my opinion.
