Hello From P&O Cruises Ventura

Hello from P&O Cruises, Ventura! At present we are en-route to our first port of call, Valencia. We are due to arrive in port on Wednesday after having spent three days at sea. I figured because of all the “pre-port” time I have on my hands it would be a great opportunity to bring you…
