16 nights for my 1st cruise was a little bit of a concern, however at what seemed like (& indeed was) great value was too good to miss. I had absolutely nothing to worry about. During the boarding process we were greeted with helpful & friendly staff, which was the case with every member of staff we met through our our cruise.
The food onboard was great quality, available practically all day & had the choice of buffet or more formal.
The entertainment onboard was also of a very high standard with different music options each evening, great shows & more talks of differing topics throughout the day.
The pool & jacuzzi areas were very nice & some onboard games provided good fun.
The bars all had a good selection & again very helpful & friendly staff.
All in all I'd say we had an excellent experience & can't wait to go back on another P & O cruise (which we already have booked, yaye😁)
A big thank you to P & O & all their fantastic staff👍👍
