Wanted a relaxing,warm weather cruise, so chose the Caribbean as we had been before about 10 years ago. Azura was our 2nd P&O ship, Britannia was our first, and there was no comparison. Azura was infinitely better, and we were not disappointed. Were upgraded to Superior deluxe Balcony Suite, which was the biggest cabin we have ever had in our 14 years of cruising. Food in the Meridian Freedom ...
Travel date 2nd November 2018-16 November 2018
We have travelled on P@O AZURA ship previously and had a great experienc. This time has been the worst time ever on any cruise ship we have been on with the standard of hygiene and the worn out dowdy furniture .This time our cruise was for a 60th birthday let down by the cabin absolutely. Need a health inspection or . We seen lots of cleaning ...
We chose this cruise because we have cruised with P and O A Couple of times before and found them to be great value for money and very well organised. The food on board Azura was in our opinion very good, plenty of choice and of decent quality. Some people moan about the quality but we found it to be what you would get in a good quality restaraunt or pub. The entertainment was first class with the ...
Arrived at Southampton by taxi and unloaded are cases and for the first time in eleven cruises we were ignored by the porters and we eventually gave up and took the cases to the conveyor ourselves. Check in was busy but we were onboard within about thirty minutes. Our cabin on C deck was ready and Rubi our efficient and friendly cabin steward introduced herself. After the safety muster we unpacked ...
We liked the ports of call Lisbon, Cadiz. Barcelona, Ibitha and Gibralter as some we had never been to before.
Embarkation was fast and well organised, the ship was beautiful, very clean and staff very helpful. been on lots of other cruises waiting staff good but never smiled, they were from india and pakistan area. Food good with plenty of choice, never had to queue at any meals.

We were looking forward to visiting the 4 locations, first one (Vigo) had to be missed because of bad weather which was unfortunate. We had travelled with Cunard before and as P&O are the same firm we expected similar high standards but were disappointed with the facilities and entertainment. The public spaces and bars were crowded.
The buffet was more like a scrum than a dining area, ...
We lost a stop in Vigo due to rough weather which was unavoidable but the general condition of the ship was not 100% with leaks in several locations etc. We requested a table for two for Dining but were not given this. We had selected a select dining so could not choose another location meaning that we ended up in the buffet every evening. Food was good however. We are not antisocial but when on ...
We chose this cruise for a week of relaxation and good food and to see places we hadn’t seen before. We badly needed this holiday.
We could not see Viga due to bad weather!
It was horrible.... noisy crowded and our cabin dirty.
Butlins would have been better.
The food was bland and often cold .
The cabin was awful. We paid £2600 plus for a super delux cabin. Money we worked hard ...
I chose this cruise for a relaxing break as it was my Birthday . 7 nights departure from Southampton on the 12th October 2018. This cruise was a nightmare from beginning to end and would not recommend it to anyone. Its all about the money and not customer guest satisfaction or respect. This ship should never have left Southampton as there would have been weather warnings. We were in a hurricane ...
Enjoyable cruise from start to finish. Swift embarkation and luggage soon followed.
Balcony cabin on B deck kept spotless by our cabin steward.
I can't comment on the entertainment as it's never my thing so I don't go.
The food was all good from the grab and go to the main resturants. We had two meals in Epicurian and one in Sindu, both of these select venues are well worth the extra ...
