I’m on ARVIA now in the Caribbean having done the same trip on the same ship as I did last year. The ship is lovely as are the crew onboard and we are really enjoying it to the point that we have booked three more cruises with P & O for the next two years. I do feel that the accountants have been sharpening there pencils and cutting back where they can. Is this spoiling my cruise ? No. Do I still consider P & O good value for money considering what you get and the number of islands you get to visit on one trip in glorious sunshine and warmth when it’s raining at home? Yes absolutely. Each time we cruise we meet a lot of cruising first timers the vast majority of which want to do it again. So whilst accepting the genuine complaints above I think we’d all miss cruising and what it has to offer if it suddenly didn’t exist. Let’s be grateful for what we’ve got.
