we have been fortunate to travel last year/this year with P&O, Fred Olsen, Celebrity and Princess. Fred Olsen’s Borealis was the only one I really didn’t like!
The main lounge resembled a nursing home, and a continuous loop tape of 50’and 60’s music played almost non stop for 15 days, so the same tracks were endlessly repeated. The singer in the lounge was the same man every day too, and the shows were very low budget. The cabin originally allocated was the worst cabin we’ve had in 30 years of cruising. The rattling and vibration was totally intolerable, and we requested, and got, a move. The quality of food was actually very good, but the choices uninspiring, rather like a never ending Sunday lunch. It was the Liverpool departure that tempted us, and that was great, but I still suggest another line.
P&O Ventura, that we chose on price alone, was a real surprise, and food was good, if again rather British. The entertainment and speciality dining were great
