P&O Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

Positives: The included food was mostly good. The buffet had limited options but the menu changed daily and the food was always piping hot. The MDR food was good except for the deserts which I found very bland. The entertainment was very good particularly the Aurora orchestra and cast. The guest entertainers were above average too and we saw a different show every night of the cruise which ...

Chose this wonderful Norwegian Fjords cruise to enjoy with my mum and husband. Turned into a disastrous experience with husband suffering from food poisoning and being cabin bound for 5 days of his holiday. The response on board from restaurant manager was diabolical, no accountability being taken for making a passenger ill and denied this could even be possible. The cabin staff worked very hard ...

Sounded like an interesting itinerary. However, every port was pretty much like the last. Due to a booking glitch, we were unable to pre-booked most of the excursions, which were listed as "sold out" when we tried to book on-board. That was actually a good thing....as we were able to do all of the excursions when we arrived at the ports for a considerable difference in price. I have always ...

PO Cruise on Iona - Norwegian fjords, August 2023 This was our first post-covid cruise. My wife and I have cruised several times before and on this occasion we booked a balcony cabin for ourselves and one for our 19yo niece as a treat. We had watched several reviews of Iona on youtube and learnt a few useful tips, such as don't take a balcony cabin on the dreaded deck 8 (or 9 for that matter). ...

P & O Aurora awful This is very hard to write, considering our last cruise to Norway on Iona I gave 5 Stars as it was an amazing experience. We both had such high hopes and were so happy to be returning to P&O. However reality did not match expectations. Our trip to Germany and Belgium started going bad on the first night, when we discovered we were sleeping next door to a Rhino. Her ...

I chose this cruise due to the lack of single supplement, the fact there were no children aboard, and the interesting itinary. I'd not especially enjoyed some recent cruises, but this adventure restored my faith. It's my third P and O cruise this year, and by far the best. The atmosphere in board was brilliant, with most people seemingly keen to enjoy themselves. This was aided by the staff who ...

We chose this cruise for our 40th wedding anniversary as we had never cruised before. We didn't pay for any excursions, we decided to do our own thing. The food choice was excellent, the staff were all helpful, friendly and polite. We enjoyed the Privateers, not to bothered about the girl group (can't remember what they were called) and the entertainment in the glass dome was okay although ...

The Baltic Sea cruise was a good value for money, and relaxing as a whole. This was my second time on Aurora, though the ship had gone through a refit and converted to an adults only vessel since my last trip, so there were some changes in layout. Embarkation went very smoothly, and we were directed to our muster station on arrival getting the check in instantly out of the way. The small cabin ...

This was our first cruise so we have nothing to compare it to but we all thought it was amazing. The staff were friendly, polite and nothing was too much trouble. A special mention must go to the wonderful Jose who looked after our corridor. He was a perfect gentleman and made our holiday extra special. The ship was immaculately clean and our cabins on deck 12 were lovely. The food was plentiful ...

First cruise. Cabins are nice to be fair (balcony) Food was easy to access. Too busy at times. Variable quality (some meals poor). Drinks not unreasonably expensive. We did however have parking included (cost 80 pound off on ship spends) that we did not use due to being full. We informed staff on the ship and after 3 trips to reception they then said they would let us know if they ...
