We booked this cruise last minute as we have never been to Norway. We have two girls age 13 and 9 who were very excited as we have been cruising with Royal Caribbean in the past and they thoughly enjoyed the experience. This was not however the case P&O sell this ship as family friendly it is if you were brought up pre war when children were to be kept in nursery it or play rooms, They was ...
Travelled as a family to Norway for the first time. Also first time on Azura. We arrived earlier than our embarkation time and did not have to wait long in departures to get on the ship. We chose a balcony cabin on deck C because of the larger balcony and it was brilliant. We found the cabin big enough for a week with a teenager in tow, lots of storage. Our cabin steward was lovely and very ...
Overall, I thought it a floating Butlins for geriatrics.
That may sound a little harsh but I expected a lot more for the money. The entertainment was often suboptimal and the food somewhat bland. Portions were small but not a-la-carte; good job there was food to be had elsewhere on the ship afterwards. Of more concern, the ship ran out of the cheaper wines after week one, which was a concern ...
Went for a week on the Azura.
Having now done 13 cruises this has been the worst by a mile.
We booked 3 cabins and paid £5685 including a premium to have them near each other as one of our family is disabled and needs our assistance.
The ship often stank of sewage, the corridor outside our cabins was often very bad and certain deck areas also stank.
The toilets outside shows and bars ...
My husband and I went on this cruise together. This was only our second cruise we have done and the first with P and O so we can't really compare to other ships. We chose to have a balcony cabin so we could relax and watch the views go by. We thought the views reminded us of the trip we did on the Caledonion way in Scotland, my husband said it was like the Caledonion way on steroids! We were on ...
its been a few years since I last cruised never again there were fights over sun beds men in the bars on formal nights in t shirts the suite I was in was very worn ,carpet dirty and stained the sofa I just wouldn't sit on neither would I touch the cushions arms of chairs greasy the public areas are showing signs of wear .the staff remain the same always helpful and happy the food is excellent I ...
I chose this cruise specifically for the destinations. I only found out after booking this cruise that it was a Strictly come dancing cruise. What a bonus!
11 of us travelled down in 3 cars. Upon arrival our luggage was taken from us by efficient and friendly attendants who then drove away and parked the cars for the duration of the 2 weeks holiday. Easy and stress free and well worth the ...
We chose this cruise as keen fans of 'Strictly' and had been on the Britannia last year on a similar cruise.
Food was good usual standard for P&O. We had freedom dinning and ate mainly in the Peninsular. Good service...friendly staff.
We ate one night in the Epicurean...well worth the £28pp cover charge. Good for a special evening and we celebrated a birthday. Maitre de was a little grumpy ...
This was my first cruise with P&O and will be my last , we booked the cruise ship because my wife had always wanted to go on one , and my parents had been on loads of cruises and said how luxurious it was .
The embarkation was efficient and the staff were helpful , we were able to go to our cabin straightaway and were met by our cabin steward who was very helpful .
On our way to the safety ...
We have cruised twice before with Princess and Royal Caribbean and decided to give P&O a chance.
We had heard that P&O were more formal than many other cruise lines but found that this was not the case.
Apologies if this review isn't 'professional' as this is the first review I have written for anything.
The motivation for this really stems from reading some negative reviews this year on ...
