Having just come back from our first time as cruisers on the Oceana's - "Taste of the Med" I felt I had to comment on what a wonderful time we had. The plus points were the variety and quality of the food, the facilities on board and the excellent organisation involved on calling at each port, shore excursions and the overall information relayed to passengers.
The Captain and his crew were wonderful (the Captain had a wonderful sense of humour) and could'nt do enough for you. We would certainly cruise again with P&O.
The only minus comments I would like to make were that the public toilets were not cleaned often enough - they should of been checked and cleaned regularly throughout the day - I did not see this happening.
Also the most annoying of all was the persistent onboard photographers. I think a memento of your trip is very nice but not at every opportunity i.e. on two occasions whilst dining/gangway shots and even whilst I was reading I looked up and as photographer was taking my photo - very obtrusive!
We also felt that the cruise was overbooked. Overall, I would recommend it.
