The whole ship creaks badly when I’m windy and high wave conditions. There is no atmosphere on board as it’s so large. The dome’s acoustics are so bad it’s impossible to hear the entertainers muffled speakers for echoes. The dance floor is so small it’s a joke for a large ship. Loud music plays in the shopping mall even when it’s closed. Christmas dinner was cold. Gangways to shore were shared for both directions and disabled customers who decided after getting off that the destination was too far from town and return to the ship straight away made life hell for those who were leaving. One steep shore gangway for all ?? Ridiculous. After having taken a so so cruise previously with P&O, we reluctantly booked this one as it was the only Christmas cruise we fancied, but would never use them again. Smaller is bigger as far as cruising is concerned.
