    My wife and I spent the evening last night watching each of these. It cracked her up that TH-cam's captions interpreted "P&O" as "piano". You and your husband are a lovely couple and we enjoyed our evening of virtual travel with you two.

    The thing I am most impressed with it the size of the bathroom compared to other cruise lines. That is what has always put me off. I know this is a suite, but the bathroom is so much nicer to comparable rooms.

But hopefully we will go one day and seeing this has made me want to go even more! I'm hoping one day to finally meet you. :)

    Your conservatory suite was the one we stayed in in December 2021 , only complaint was the noise from the Clubhouse till 2am/later , the boom boom noise , however loved the cabin , rebooked and our second time had one on deck 8 ! Brilliant and not as bad as people stated .

  • @davidhinks8384
    @davidhinks8384 ปีที่แล้ว

    We were in 9607 to the left of your over the balcony view. Lovely welcome on board as we had a mini-suite. Our bed jammed on the wardrobes unfortunately. our only criticism of this conservatory suite. Amazingly quick boarding, less than 10 minutes. The Quays was amazing, Hook, Line and vinegar outstanding, Thermal Spa, like on Britannia sublime . I booked the Bon Voyage package as it was our wedding anniversary which was amazing value, so we ended up with two bottles of champagne and two boxes of chocolates! Amazing cruise, amazing ship, amazing crew. I have a bottle of Maribelle distilled on board awaiting the right time. If you want to and can, do it.
