After experiencing bad weather last night in Bay of Biscay, P&O Ventura suffered damage. Passengers onboard the ship are reporting that large crack, about 3 inches wide, has appeared on one of the upper exterior decks above the Laguna pool.  The crack runs the entire horizontal length of the deck and vertical to the deck below.
Here are some comments from the passengers onboard P&O Ventura posted on P&O Forum.

"The crack is about 3 inches wide, the full width of the deck above the Laguna pool. It is also displaced about one inch vertically and horizontally, with the railing glazed panel missing on the open deck, and the glazed pane on the Laguna deck below displaced from its frame also by a couple of inches. Not confirmed, but I am told that people on deck 14 balconies directly below can't use their balcony either."

"They have now removed the cladding from the underneath and we can see the I beams which support the deck plates all have clean breaks in them. The glazing panel just beneath has suction pads on it just in case. The area around is creaking.
Looks like being a substantial repair to me. "

"I passed the Captain in the corridor to our cabin and asked about it but he was not in good mood and did not stop to chat"

News Update
P&O Cruises announced on their facebook fan page that: “Repairs will be made to an aluminium deck on Ventura upon arrival in Southampton today. This has no structural strength or safety implications.”

This damage will not affect the following itineraries. The ship will leave Southampton today on two days cruise and is expected to arrive tomorrow in Zeebrugge (Brussels), Belgium.
