Advantages: Lots

Disadvantages: Very few

I travelled abroad the 'Ventura' in August 2008, just a couple of months after it was first launched.

The Positives:
Staff: The staff onboard this cruise were absolutely incredible. Really couldn't do enough for you. You were always greeted with a smile and a 'good morning', and were polite, friendly and helpful without exception.

The Food: Top notch food, offering a wide variety to choose from in all restaraunts and buffets. (I enjoyed it so much I put on 11lbs over the 2 weeks - less said about that the better, ahem). Excellent standard of hygeine and cleanliness throughtout.

The Cabins: Really comfortable cabins, surprising amount of space. The cabin stewards without fail ensured that fresh towels were provided on a daily basis, and would clean to a really high standard. Unbelievably comfortable beds and pillows and adjustable air conditioning. Can't fault it.

Disadvantages:
The Children: Although, I don't feel this very fair to put as a disadvantage on the part of P & O, I would warn that if you do want a bit of peace and quiet to perhaps opt for the adult only ships they have on offer, as children's activities were of top priority on this ship.

Summary: Had my reservations about my first cruise, but proven wrong and off again in 2 weeks on the arcadia
