Saturday
We woke up at 0615 having made sure we knew ship time after our issue last time (where we got up an hour early by mistake).We got ready and packed our hand luggage bag with our last few bits. We had to be out of the cabin by 0730 so I joined the virtual queue for breakfast.
We were quickly taken to our table and given menus.
I had pancakes and Rob had the ‘full english’.
We also had tea, coffee and juice but I seem to have forgotten the photos.
We were then supposed to wait until 0915 before we disembarked but it was only 0815 and we thought we would check to see if there was a long queue.
There was literally no one waiting so we walked straight off
We collected our bag and walked back to the short stay car park where our car was waiting for us and in the same condition as we left it
Very impressed with Parking4cruises.We were back at home by 1000 which was better than expected!
• Physical check-in very chaotic on P&O, we have never waited in a line (ever) for so long even after Covid.
• Online check-in didn’t seem to work at all (maybe because we were a late booking?)
• Luggage arrived very quickly on P&O.
• No soft drink package on ‘short cruises’. This feels like a cash grab and it was very hard to even get a water without queuing which is frustrating. Even without a drink package on RC there is always a free option of lemonade or iced tea as well as tea and coffee.
• Lack of snack availability on P&O, there is easy access to little sandwiches and cakes on RC during the day.
• Buffet seems very disorganised and not sufficient for size of ship. Constant queues and hard to find a table
• No handwashing at P&O buffets, might explain why they had a recent norovirus outbreak?
• Much more rigid dress code. Why can men not wear ‘smart shorts’ when a woman could easily wear a short dress or similar?
• No ‘free’ ice cream.
