P&O Adonia Visit

Following the recent cancellation of my overnight stay on Adonia, the most recent addition to the P&O fleet. I was once again invited down to Southampton to have a look around and sample the menu with fellow agents from around the UK.

It was also very nice to meet Carol Marlow, the managing director of P&O Cruises. She was very welcoming and pleasant, it was nice to meet the lady I see everyday in the brochure!

On arrival I was amazed with the size of this tiny ship, something i'm not quite used too. As I stepped aboard it felt a little cloaustraphobic and became very evident that this ship only caters for around 700 guests, but this small ship will be great going into the ports that the bigger ones cant reach and P&O have set up some great itinaries for her to visit.

We were given a map with a route to follow and we set off to discover all she had to offer. Adonia has a traditional feel and the decor is very simular to others in the fleet, she also has all the facilities you would expect on a bigger ship but on a smaller scale.

She has one pool on deck with a running track and a sparking new gymnasium and spa. We looked at all the grade of cabins and I was surprised to find that the inside cabins were so large, I wouldnt hesitate to use one of these. At the other end of the scale the suite was amazing with its living area a bedroom with endless wardrobe space and a stunning bathroom with a whirlpool bath!

We had lunch in the main restaurant and was offered the full menu which was very nice and included a blue cheese mouse for starter, Goose for main and cheesecake for dessert followed by a coffee to finish of! The meal was cooked to a fantastic standard and I left feeling very full for the long journey home!
