Creator's Key Takeaways

we booked a 14 night cruise after doing some research we were dreading it oh no have we made a huge costly mistake

the sunbed issue is an issue but the other things we just haven't seen on board the ship we feel very very lucky to be on board

we've had a great time regardless of how we feel of the ship and this is the big problem for us guys

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book dining and entertainment two weeks before your cruise using the P&O website to avoid virtual queues.

✓Check your onboard bill at the end of the cruise to ensure charges are correct.

✓Bring seasickness medication and a first aid kit for the journey.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Badly behaved passengers getting drunk and causing fights — Most passengers are lovely; the problematic minority is less common on transatlantic cruises.

Sunbeds being reserved early — There are many sunbeds, but they still get taken; consider going early or using indoor areas.
