The service provided by all Carnival Spirit staff was excellent. The shows and entertainment were excellent from the hypnotist through to the comedy acts and the band on the pool deck.
The Oceania Marina Eastern Mediterranean cruise was our first experience. Marina cabins are that much larger to take away the squeeze feel. We tried all of the restaurants and all excelled in their theme cusine.
Service aboard Radiance of the Seas was perfect from cabin staff to restaurant staff to bar staff. Formal dining was exquisite as well as the specialty dining we tried.
The harbour festivities I would definitely recommend but the overall P & O ship experience was just very average to poor. Pacific Eden needs a lot of work to bring her up to an acceptable standard.
The service on the ship was great, including catering to my special dietary requirements. There were lots of different activities to suit a broad range of interests, including music trivia, dance lessons, bingo, theme nights and theatre shows.
I love the Princess Cruises package especially on the larger ships, which provide the most venues across the ship for almost all activities be it dining, entertainment, swimming and deck activities.
I would highly recommend this ship. You could be assured of a very relaxing and wonderful cruise experience. The ship was well designed although an older one but this seems to be in its favour as there was more living space.
Overall I felt that the cruise on the Golden Princess offers excellent value for money. The staff are exemplary and the standard of service in all departments is highly professional. Cabin was spacious and well appointed.
She's the most specious ship yet from luxury line Oceania Cruises. James Sitters tells Rose Kelly and Peter Lynch what's on board the new class of ship, including restaurants, spas and suites.
