I have previously sailed twice on Princess ships and thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the holidays. We chose this P&O cruise as the dates were ideal and it was a short break away from work to visit some new places.
As cruise holiday expectations are a completely personal thing, I will instead run down some of the good bits we loved about the cruise and some bits we thought could be improved on.
Good stuff:
Large room with ample wardrobe space, a generous bathroom and sofa seating area in addition to the balcony. Nice to have the champagne and chocolates upon embarkation in the room for us to enjoy as we sailed away from Southampton. Room steward was quick and attentive.
Tapas Trail - fantastic tour of local tapas spots. Not too touristy and definitely authentic with plenty of locals in each of the bars we stopped at.
