First time cruisers

Cruise Line: P&O Cruises Times cruised before: 0
Cruise Ship: Oceana Sailed: November, 2009
Destination: Caribbean Age: 56-65
Cabin: Balcony Occasion: Wedding anniversary
This was our first cruises and a 40th wedding anniversary so we thought we opt for a balcony cabin this was the right choice as we were in the Caribbean with great view in the morning and sunsets in the evening, we were both pleased with the quality and choice of food on board and the high standard of entertainment, the price of drinks were no dearer than the average pub excursions were varied some over priced and others worth the money. We both enjoyed the cruise and will go on others as flying is becoming a long drawn out affair these days at most airports.
Quality of Food4
dinner times we ate fresh fruit
Entertainment4
A good variety of shows
Shore Excursions2
The details of some shore excursions were written far better than the actual excursion, this is something you have to put up with, and talking with fellow passengers who have experienced the trips helps you choose,
Staff4
Our cabin steward was very polite and helpfil and so were all other members of the crew
Children's Facilitiesn/a
Onboard Activities2
There were enough activities to keep you amused for 2 weeks after that I think you would struggle
Cabins4
Cabins are adequate for the time spent in them
Overall Rating4
