This was a superb cruise for our 7- strong family covering 3 generations. The Southampton embarkation and disembarkation were smooth and trouble free.As seasoned cruisers, we knew what to expect on "Ventura".Our son, his wife and their three children were highly delighted with their state rooms and all aspects of their first cruise.
The facilities offered to the children aged 9.12 and 15 were vibrant, varied and safe. Adults wanting a quieter time could utilise the peaceful OASIS terrace and pool.
The entertainment was intelligently varied - something for everyone! The "Ventura Theatre Company" was superlative. The staff were particularly friendly and attentive to our family`s needs.
Adequate size. Safe provided giving a tremendous easing of anxiety. Good wardrobe provision and shelf space. Fridge.
Comfortable bed.Plentiful provision of tea coffee etc. Good position on Riviera Deck- slightly fore of midships. Quiet. very convenient for Terrace bar and pool.Very convenient for Waterside and Beach Hut restaurants. Very convenient for the Arena theatre.
Lighting in state room only adequate. Inside rooms require better light at the bedhead.
