    My wife and I spent the evening last night watching each of these. It cracked her up that CZcams'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.

    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.
