Creator's Key Takeaways

The museum is really well done. The volunteers are excellent in the rooms. And they obviously enjoy their work and and they're all very knowledgeable.

It was a really enjoyable production, but there's nothing you can do about it. That's what we had.

I think it was a a strawberry bloody mary it was absolutely disgusting I've got to say I won certain never again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use your satnav when driving to the terminal.
If staying at a Holiday Inn Express, expect to be out of town with limited walking options.

YouTube Video Description

We had not cruised with P&O before and I'd had second thoughts almost as soon as we booked it because the line seems to be 'Marmite': loved and loathed in equal measure. I hope this series will show whether those stereotypes were justified. In Part 1, I describe reaching Southampton on 12th June and our stay at the Holiday Inn Express Southampton West. The next day we spent several hours in Southampton, especially in the Tudor House Museum, which we loved and will definitely revisit. Boarding was a little slow, due to the numbers arriving at the same time but it wasn't long before we were on board and exploring this new ship. The first sea day, of three, passed quite well. There were a lot of activities to choose from and we certainly weren't bored. We've done two sea days before but not three. Would this prove to be too many? See Part 2 for the answer that!
