First cruise is always a steep learning curve.........especially with such things as dining and excursions.
If you go again you will be more selective over the ships shore excursions and with some homework before you go can often do your own thing and go and see things you are specifically interested in. However macafee makes a very valid point in that the ship will only wait if one of their own tours is late.
We tend to use them if their is a special site / museum you wish to see which would normally have to queue for a long time as the ships shore excursion can skip the queue most of the time eg: Hermitage museum in St Petersburg etc.
We used to go with P&O but have found their standard of food has dropped and now mainly go with Royal Caribbean where the standard has been brilliant.........so far!
We have always found the cabin staff etc to be excellent and normally cannot do enough for you.
We have gone to the Bristol car park you used when we lived in Exeter, and in their introduction when we have booked it does ask for drivers to disconnect all electrical items such as dash cams etc.
