There were good points, but the food disappointed

Disappointing.

Ship jaded and the facilities needed updating in general, Not comparable with newer ships.

i.e.

small tv with poor channel selection, small shower cubicle.

Food in restaurant had fancy names but short of flavour and scarce on vegetables but service and waiters excellent.

Food in buffet was very poor selection, repetitive and being mainly Asian concentrated and heavily spiced.

Porridge was often cold or at best lukewarm and puddings were generally based on stodge with custard.

Lot of fancy cakes though.

Food is very important to us and this was poorly presented, badly cooked, over spicy and sometimes cold.

We found the sound level in the theatre far too high and singers came across as screechy and lacked clarity.

We found the majority of the featured artists were very third rate and puerile and P & O should make every effort to engage a better grade of artist.

Most of the presentations, although informative, culminated in attempts to sell and items to purchase, even in sales, are vastly overpriced despite the (supposed ) duty free prices.
