On the same cruise and it was our first P&O experience.
We thought the food was really good, better than Princess and Carnival. We ate in Angelo’s, Dragon Lady, Waterfront and the Pantry. I really liked the Pantry set up, much better than the Princess and Carnival buffets. Although it was often busy, we didn’t have to find a table outside like we have had to do on other cruises.
They did have a galley tour and it looked very much the same as other cruise lines. Also impressed by their chef show - the only one I have seen where they give out the food they have cooked during the show.
Hung Le was funny, he was the only comedian we saw and the shows were the same standard as other cruises.
The tendering did seem to take much longer, they were only using 4 tenders, whereas the other lines use many more. I got into line at 640am to get tender tickets for Bali and we got off the boat on tender 14 at 1030 - long time to wait, when they started at 7.
In Broome we got shuttle bus 31 and arrived in town at 430 on a Saturday afternoon when nearly everything was closed. However we went to the pub for dinner and then to the Sun Pictures for a movie, which was an awesome experience. Cable Beach the next day which was also great.
Ship was clean, lots of activities, over 18s area always had plenty of loungers, great weather. Very positive experience and I would definitely go on P&O again.
My absolute favourite thing was that there was none of the fake crew/passenger interaction that comes along with trying to get tips. This really annoys me on Princess and Carnival.
