Cruising on the P&O E-mail
Now, let’s just say you took the opportunity to cruise on one of these beautiful, luxurious ships. You are most probably in two categories of holiday goers. So, below I have the right information to suit your needs.

CATERGORY 1 - The "Do Everything" Party Animal.
LIVE MUSIC, DANCING AND ENTERTAINMENT
P&O hosts a great range of dazzling entertainment, whether it be spectacular shows, hilarious comedians or world class entertainers. The ships also have arranged themed party nights scheduled for particular days, but regularly invite guests to chat at a bar or lounge, enjoy a cocktail or groove it up on the dance floor. If chancing your arm on the roulette table sounds more like your idea of fun, then pull on your tuxedo or an elegant dress and head for the Casino onboard.

SPORTS
The true “do everything” party animal also loves to stay in shape. Use the jogging track, partake in some deck sports, pump up in the gymnasium or even try some line dancing. New and exciting things are right up the alley of any true “party animal”.

ACTIVITIES
Then there are activities such as table tennis, volleyball, golf putting as well as trivia and other mind bending games. Surely a “party animal” doesn’t mind using brains as much as braun.

DINING
There is a range of cuisine available on a P&O cruise. However, a true “party animal” is going to want something quick and on the go which won’t be a problem. If you end up partying till dawn there are late night snacks and mouthwatering pizza’s available, ice-cream to die for and genuine espresso coffee. In fact, coffee is going to be very important for your stay if you are going to get through all of the activities here.

CATEGORY 2- THE “OVER STRESSED”- RELAXATION FREAK.
CHILL OUT SESSIONS
If you are over stressed and need to wind down, then why not hit the pools for a relaxing swim and a few (heavily protected) hours of sun baking. The spa and sauna are an incredible way to wind down, but playing a spot of chess out on deck might also be your idea of relaxation. If you are an “over stressed relaxation freak” then chances are you are going to be tempted to check up on your work, there are internet facilities available on board the ship. However, it might be an idea to leave the work alone for a while and meet up with friends at an intimate bar instead. Either way, you’re set.

LAZY DAYS
Unwind to the sounds of a cocktail pianist or watch the latest movies, if relaxation is your desire, then P&O is the answer. Let your friends sweat it out in the gym, while you bask in the glow of the sun on a deckchair.

PAMPERING
There are also opportunities to pamper yourself with a facial, manicure, pedicure, spray tanning or a massage as well as get your hair done by the expert work of the hair dressers on board.

DINING
Dining out for guests in need of some deep relaxation usually need a larger menu and plenty of time to converse and relax. Onboard a P&O floating resort, there will plenty to indulge in with continental breakfast available in the morning, buffet breakfast and lunch for the hungry, afternoon teas and pastries, as well as elaborate five course dinners. You will never go hungry on a P&O ship.

Now, don’t forget these are just the activities on board. Let’s not forget about the endless range of things to do once you reach an exotic location like Vanuatu, New Caledonia or tropical Queensland.
