Enjoyable break, underwhelmed with cruise and Norway.
Enjoyable break. A bit underwhelmed. Ship good but enormous, crew good and hardworking, cabin good. Food disappointing. Everything is reheated and nothing is fresh. Lots of queues and felt crammed. P&O are trying to maximise the money they take from you at every opportunity. Shore trips are exorbitantly priced. Typically a x3 mark up. When you get off the ferry there are masses waiting to rip you off too. There was meant to be 4 port visits. One was cancelled due to high winds. No alternative plan just steam very slowly in the middle of the North Sea with nothing to look at. No additional activities on board. Additional charges for doing a spin class in the gym and ice creams and cakes. 1 week at sea and 24 hours on shore. Booking meals was a nightmare. Join a virtual queue with no idea when or if you are going to eat. On board entertainment all booked up, nowhere to sit at other than very late shows. Entertainment was not a good standard. Norway was good, but not spectacular, at least the bits I saw weren’t. I enjoyed the Bird’s Nest bar and the excellent service up there.
