Hi Marjan1

I'm sure you will enjoy your cruise, we all tend to think the standard we have experienced on previous cruise is the basic to expect, however, if your use too  4 star motels and you end up at a 2 star one you may blink, but then you stop and think I'm paying a lot less for this room what did I expect?

 

P&O Aust. may not be exactly like Princess or other line you have been on, it is still a nice cruise line to cruise on. Just expect that some things will be little bit different. 

 

Have a great cruise

regards

John

Thank you John.  
 

We are looking forward to our cruise and very aware that we will be paying for some things the more expensive lines include.  But for us, we save the airfares to Sydney plus a night or two in a hotel before the cruise, plus we got a good price.  
 

We sailed on the Encounter in its previous life as the Star Princess in Alaska.  

Regards,

 

Margaret

Thank you fir your review.  
 

We have just booked on Encounter, our first P&O cruise after cruising with Princess, Celebrity and Royal Caribbean.   
 

We understand this is a more basic level of cruising, but cruise options in the Australian winter are very limited.   Travelling from our home port is also very attractive.  
 

We go with an open mind and plan to enjoy ourselves.   

 

We always say 'Take a good time with you and that's what you'll have!'
