Description - A Year in the Life of the P&O Cruises Fleet by Sharon Poole

For most cruisers, a week or fortnight aboard a cruise ship gives them a flavour of many different ports, often in different countries, while staying aboard a floating resort. But, behind the scenes, all of the services expected of a small city are provided to ensure there are light and power, food and drink, propulsion, washing, sewage, waste disposal and laundry as well as a myriad of other services and functions that ensure the ship gets to its destinations on time. So, how does it work? What really happens behind the scenes? Sharon Poole and Andrew Sassoli-Walker have been given unprecedented access to the seven ships of the fleet and they go into the planning and execution of a year's travel aboard a P&O Cruises ship, starting with the planning a good two years ahead to ensure itineraries are in place, berths are booked at destinations and that brochures are ready, before they look at the ship itself, covering everything you would expect to see on a normal cruise, as well as all of the behinds the scenes activities that make a P&O Cruise as trouble-free and fun as possible.
