What the fare covers, what it doesn't, and how this itinerary actually runs.
Save the balcony money
11 port days and no sea day — you are ashore in daylight and asleep the rest. An interior cabin costs about $1,150 less per person, which is most of a shore excursion budget.
11 port days back to back
Early tenders and late returns, several days running, with no sea day to recover in. Pick the two ports you actually care about and let one of the others be a lie-in — the itinerary is not a checklist.
Day one and the last day are half-days
A 11-night cruise is really 10 full days. Boarding runs into the afternoon and you are off the ship early on the last morning.

Costs that surprise people
◆Speciality Dining. Restaurants beyond the main dining rooms and buffet usually incur a per-person cover charge or à la carte pricing.
◆Shore Excursions. Organised tours and activities booked through the cruise line at ports of call are an additional cost.
◆Spa and Thermal Suite Access. Treatments in the spa and access to the thermal suite, including saunas and steam rooms, are typically charged separately.
◆Laundry Services. While self-service laundrettes are often available, professional laundry and dry-cleaning services come with a fee.
◆Certain Non-Alcoholic Drinks. Freshly squeezed juices, premium bottled water, and some specialty coffees and teas are not usually included in the base fare.
◆Onboard Shopping and Casino. Any purchases from retail shops, art auctions, or time spent in the casino or arcade will be added to your onboard account.
Ways to spend less

AI-written guidance, not a quote. Prices and policies change and vary by sailing — confirm anything that matters with the cruise line before you book.
◆Utilise Free Drinks. Make use of the complimentary water, tea, coffee, and breakfast juices available in designated areas throughout the day.
◆Bring Allowed Beverages. P&O generally allows guests to bring a limited amount of alcoholic drinks (e.g., a bottle of wine or champagne) for consumption in their cabin, subject to their current policy.
◆Go Ashore Independently. Research and explore ports of call on your own rather than booking cruise line excursions to save money, checking local transport options.
◆Pre-Purchase Wifi Bundles. Buying a larger Wi-Fi package for the duration of your cruise before you sail can often be more cost-effective than paying for daily access or smaller bundles on board.
