Sail Date: Aug 2011
Cabin: Balcony Stateroom

This was our first cruise with P & O.

When first seen at Southampton docks the Azura looked a large ship but once on board we soon realised that it wasn't. The communal areas on decks 6 & 7 felt very hemmed in & getting from one end of the ship to the other was not easy. The Atrium was the biggest let down, only 3 decks high & not very impressive. The shops were typical of all cruise ships, selling P & O souvenirs, but the biggest waste of space was the one selling watches.

However the biggest problem with the Azura is its tendency to vibrate. Our dining table in the Oriental restaurant, deck 6, was right at the rear of the ship, but even on calm evenings you could feel the ship vibrate. We had a bad storm one night & although there was hardly any pitching or rolling the vibration, from speaking to other passengers & crew, kept most people awake for most of the night.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin JC

R330, deck 14.

Small bathroom. Shaded balcony-no good for sunbathing. Below open deck & very noisy during the day, we were woken up every morning before 7am by crew moving tables & chairs.

Would not recommend deck 14 to anyone.
