PJL1973 Posted July 31, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) I think the Cruise with Ben & David Youtube channel are going on her maiden voyage, so check them out for that. Edited July 31, 2021 by PJL1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be eagerly awaiting this! They are very thorough and fair in their reviews! But they don’t hold back if they don’t like something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I suspect there will be a work element to it, I hope you enjoy your time on board 🙂 You deserve it, especially with keeping us informed in what have been, and continues to be, very difficult times. Whilst we have not travelled on ships of that size ourselves, I wish P&O success in her sailings. Will you get out of the dock for that one, or just spend time on the ship whilst she is still docked, as with Britannia? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the ship is due to sail tonight into the English Channel returning by Wednesday morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn2002 Posted August 2, 2021 #20 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Thanks for the pictures. There is so little information out there on the ship so excited to see them. Everything looks so clean! The wardrobe looks very close to the bed. Is the television opposite the bed or sofa? I'm in a seaview room as I didn't think there would be much sitting on the balcony as we're going to Scotland on 21 August. Haven't seen a picture yet of the seaview rooms. If you happen to be passing by any of the cabins on the fourth deck can you see if they have a sofa? I love those little tables that tuck under the sofa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyh25 Posted August 2, 2021 #21 Share Posted August 2, 2021 @molecrochip Brilliant photographs thank you. Now if you can just get yourself and your camera into a Conservatory Mini Suite that would be a mega 👍 from me. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted August 2, 2021 #22 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I like the colour schemes but that pale cabin carpet won’t last long! Balcony looks a reasonable size as well if it is a standard one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
