I've been a fan of P&O all my life, much of it is nostalgia, my first P&O ship was either the Canton or Carthage when I was a baby en route to Singapore. Many many ships later we went off on the latest trip on board Ventura. Very similar to Azura which we did last year and equally as nice. I did feel there have been a few cut-backs and some corner cutting but as prices are now so low I can understand that. Something has to give....
Embarkation via Gatwick and Genoa was easy though I do prefer Southampton. Disembarkation was equally trouble free.
Cabin was adequate with a small balcony, our steward was brilliant but not intrusive.
Cabin was absolutely adequate and good value for the money. Always clean and well maintained with the occasional towel art to cheer! Pretty central on the ship and near enough to everything while still extremely quiet.
