We very much liked this cabin. It was very quiet, with lots and lots of storage. The bathroom was fabulous, exceptionally large with a bath, large walk-in shower and twin basins in a large vanity unit. The toilet and another basin were accessed via the bathroom and the sitting area. The bedroom had a very comfortable bed, but there were no bedside lamps which we thought odd. A large TV in each room offered movies on demand.
The sitting area was pretty much the normal for a P&O suite with the addition of an extra wardrobe - great for outer wear.


Our only real criticisms were
There was no socket ANYWHERE near a mirror. A big issue for ladies attending to their hair.
The balcony, while wrap around, wasn’t very deep, so sun loungers had to be placed along side the rail, rather than at right angles to it.

Would we choose it again - for sure!

This is a Portside Corner Aft cabin with a wraparound balcony. This has a separate lounge area, bedroom and a large bathroom.

Your lounge area is an excellent size with ample room to walk around. Your bedroom has a dressing table, bedside table, interactive TV, telephone. In between the bedroom and the living area is a corridor with enough closed wardrobe space and shelved cupboards for all your clothes. Your large bathroom has a full size whirlpool bath and separate shower. There is also a separate WC with Jack and Jill access from both your living area and the bathroom. The wrap around balcony can be accessed from both the lounge and bedroom areas and has a table, two chairs, two recliners, two foot stools and a small table. Whilst you cannot place the sun loungers face on there is plenty of room to use everything. You are overlooked by the suite above you and can see the three suites below.

Plugs; two UK in the bedroom, two UK in the living room and two European in the living room. Regarding plug locations whoever designed this room did not do it with ladies in mind. Where there are plugs there are no mirrors and where there are mirrors there are no plugs. You read that right, ie, in the bedroom is a nice dressing table, with 4 drawers and two UK plugs and there is no mirror in the bedroom. The nearest mirror is in the living room about 10 feet away, yes, it really it is that far. The nice vanity unit in the living room has a large mirror and the nearest plugs are the ones used by the kettle and coffee machine also about 10 feet away. Our Butler supplied us with an extension to use.

We would definitely book this cabin, or similar again.
Regards

Peter
