What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

five out of five nothing was too much trouble attentive and the lady even made my tea correctly

I never ever get tired of this view.

Having a big balcony is the big bonus for this area.

It was fabulous. Um yeah, I had the uh the vegan starter mane and dessert and they were all wow.

We got so lucky with ours, we were assigned Mighty Mouse. but an absolutely top guy.

The Watch-outs

To say I'm not happy is an understatement.

Unfortunately, we've just found out that the sky lift isn't working. Not happy.

we were awoken again about4 to 6 to more noises I just can't believe that two cabins could be so bad

We don't think we what we didn't get what we paid for.

it's pretty obvious that's not what's underneath and that's why the cabin was probably empty from the start

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Sail with Gail and Mike.

  1. Take layers, thin layers, a warm coat, and some good footwear boots or comfortable trainers.

  2. If you're going on boat trips up the fjords or up into ski resorts, then you need to really think about your footwear.

  3. Keep your tags on the case for disembarkation

  4. Book the 710 Club in advance or try the late walk-in set

  5. Contact P&O for compensation if an excursion doesn't deliver as promised.

  6. Ask your room attendant for a blanket if you want to sit outside in the fresh air.

  7. Get to shows early to get better seats.

  8. Ask your cabin attendant for blankets for the balcony.
