This was our second cruise on the Azura and are a couple in our 40s with a 8 and 10 year old.
We had a really good time and enjoyed our time on board, but noticed slight differences from last time 2 years previously.
The bar service around the pool. Yes it was busy on sea days, not as busy on non sea days as we did not get off at every port. But the bar service has slipped. Previously ...
have cruised with P&O several times previously and fancied some winter sun with a company we were familiar with but we had some issues on this cruise.
There was an horrendous smell of sewerage wafting around the ship over several days of the cruise and it was most unpleasant!.
Our itinerary was changed and we did not visit Grand Turk which was very disappointing as we were told this was the ...
This was our second cruise ,we traveled with a completely different cruise line on our first and the difference was more than evident. As there are are lot of hardworking staff on the ship our observations are not aimed at them , more the robotic head office culture that is present on the ship.
Flying from Manchester on a 9 hour trip in economy,I was taken aback when I asked for a blanket for ...
It was the first cruise for my partner and with p&o. I usually go with USA cruises. We had anytime dining.. Had to queue.. No couple tables.. On new years eve our invitation for the dining room said arrive 5.45..the restaurant wasn't even open.. Should of said 6.45. We were given a bottle of wine but we rushed to get ready.. So totally ruined our dining experience.. We ate in the buffet!
We ...
Good points
The food and cabin where reasonable, the lady cleaning the cabin was excellent. The Headliners entertainment was excellent.
Bad Points.
The ship is in need of a make over,
The main swimming pool area reminded us of the comedy programme Benidorm,with the towels on sun beds and nobody using the beds,the drone of dated music, kids running and jumping in the pool when signage ...
We chose this cruise because it ticked a number of boxes with regards to islands visited, we boarded the ship on the 27th December 2019, the boarding process was very efficient.
The first issue we had was the aircon did not work in the cabin, we informed our cabin boy and also reception, it took two further days and a number of calls and requested before I had to insist someone visited to the ...
All temperatures in Celcius. Times in the 24 hour format. Currency onboard GB£
Embarkation/Disembarkation.
I flew from Manchester (UK) on a Dreamliner. My bag was checked in and I went through the usual security. We landed at around 1630 local time and we were bussed to the ship which took around 45 minutes. Unusually, we didn't go through passport/customs when we arrived. I expected to go ...
We had an absolute ball! It was our friends 50th Birthday. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Special thanks to Elias our cabin lad. He was so pleasant and lovely and very attentive to our needs. Thank you Elias. R 616.
The food and restaurants were spot on. Entertainment was ok, but not brilliant. Plenty to do on board to suit all. Loved the dancing ballroom, Latin and the Salsa class. ...
Ship was looking very tired.
Really poor layout!
Unnecessary amount of black tie nights for no real reason. New Year’s Eve wasn’t even 1 of these for which they did nothing special.
The buffet was of very poor standard. Selection was small and in general not very fresh.
All restaurants require long trousers. They are okay.
Getting a drink could be hard work and in particular at ...
Both My wife & I having cruised before were looking for an enjoyable Christmas with warm weather, good accomadation, tasty food and entertainment/ activities and good service
We found The Azura to be lacking on so many points.
On Freedon dining found the food no better than an average pub,the Christmas dinner was nothing special at all! Food service was slow . certainly not polished & ...
