Raging Quiet said:I went on a P&O cruise last year in November, it was great!
It was a 9 day cruise, I sunbathed most of the time and went swimming. They had wonderful entertainment in the evenings, plus lots of activities during the day like yoga, tennis, jogging and lots of other sports. They do tours of the ship, competitions, food tasting sessions and art auctions as well.
They also do lessons so that you can learn new things while you are on holiday, you can learn to massage, how to look after your hands, etc!
The food is excellent, we had 6 courses every night, so I was very full all the time and put on weight, thats why they provide so many sport activities on board!
The only disadvantage about the cruise was that I got a bit seasick, people told me that because the ship is so big, you won't feel the rocking motion of the sea, but it got very rough at times, walking around was a nightmare, but it was really fun especially in high heels! (It was good practice!) Please don't let that put you off, it wasn't rough all the time!!
Go! You and your husband will definately enjoy it. The holiday will give you a big break from housework, as you get a cabin steward and they do EVERYTHING for you.
OMG, high heels on swaying decks. LOL I think I will wear flat heeled shoes. The cruise we're looking at has a ballroom style type like the Titanic, and it has plenty of lifeboats btw. :P
What housework? More likely, it would give us a big break from doing heavy duty renovation and gutting of our new house and some prison time served at the school here. We might consider the trip a celebration of all the accomplished goals we've culiminated in the last few years of our lives.. our wedding, school, life, my birthday, etc etc. Who knows?
Thanks for sharing your experiences-- I am more afraid that my husband will be green around the gills than I am for myself. Hehehe... I was born with water in my veins.
