Firstly, they...Overall we had a wonderful cruise and would certainly go with P&I again. However there were a number of issues. Firstly, they have now removed the evening cabin service so that the little touches such as turning down you bed covers and leaving a chocolate on your pillow were missing and also meaning that we rarely saw our steward Brian. Secondly, dress code on the P&O website was not adhered in any of the dining venues i. e. ladies in swimwear in buffet restaurant, men in shorts in main dining rooms in the evening. Only enforced on formal dress occasions. Thirdly we purchased the classic drinks package on the basis that Zinfandel wine was available only to find that it has not been for some time. Last, we had an inside cabin and found that it was very warm and stuffy overnight, possibly due to the very hot weather. On a more positive note we were pleased that both the level and standard of service on board was excellent and obtaining drinks etc was rarely a problem. The staff made you feel special all the time and would always go the extra mile. The entertainment was sufficiently varied to allow us something different most days/evenings, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything we did. Overall we had a truly wonderful experience (including all flights and transfers) although we would not cruise the Greek isles in July again as it was far too hot and seriously limited our shore experience.Read More
