P&O Family Cruises Reviews

Set sail on the 20th of May for a week, Multigenerational holiday. Our 2nd time on Ventura and will be the last. Very noticeable changes in a lot of areas since last sailing. Since our last sailing we were informed that Ventura was going to dry dock for refurb, this however was not the case as mostly this was for re painting and engine maintenance. The only obvious refurb was new carpet to some ...

I have been on several cruises before with P and O, and Royal Caribbean. Overall - There were a few good aspects, but I would not sail on the Azura again. It felt like a cut-down, budget experience and totally lacked any imagination or flair. Apart from our evening waiter (who was brilliant), the staff seemed bored, overworked and did not put any effort into making the holiday a special ...

Hearing great feedback from a few people who have done this cruise previously we decided to book a Mediterranean cruise. The cabin we stayed in had not been cleaned properly as the previous guests receipts and an Amazon envelope was left in one of the cupboards. The Buffet was really poor with watered down juices and dirty plates and cups. You would expect that after the covid pandemic and all of ...

We booked this week long cruise on Azura as for a Special birthday celebration. Our whole experience on the cruise from start to finish was absolutely amazing. The staff are a credit and are very helpful and polite, the wide selection of food caters for all , we ate mainly in the Main restaurant in the evening and often had breakfast and lunch at the buffet all the food was well prepared and ...

Overall a disappointing experience. It doesn’t help to have seen the ‘salami slicing’ cost saving measures affect the quality of the cruise each year, having cruised with P&O ships mainly for over 20 years. The ship is rather tired and though the cabin size and layout (superior balcony) is good, it needs a refurb. Doesn’t help that we’re not told the times of flights before choosing an airport. ...

I chose Aurora because it was a smallish ship and had 3 swimming pools. The crew were friendly and the entertainment very good The food was OK, but nothing like it used to be. Fewer courses and not as good. Could be due to covid changes or P&O cutting back I had a balcony cabin on D deck, Very small, Very dark, Nothing like the pictures or description. Some items missing. Would be ok if a ...

I booked a de luxe Cabin and it was Small, dark and nothing like the web site shows. With a metal balcony screen you couldn't see the sea if you sat down !!!!! Or get day light. Ruined my cruise My cabin was Worse than a standard balcony cabin. Customer Service on board and at head office we're not interested. Most times have not replied and don't care if you never cruise with them again ...

The Azura staff from stateroom to bar staff are amazing We were served quickly wherever we went on ship and all staff were helpful and courteous. We could always find a seat in bars an theatre too. The food for most part was delicious and being gluten free I found waiters in restaurants really helpful. Gluten free options were always marked on the menu and each night the head waiter would bring ...

We have just spend a week on Ventura to Spain, Portugal and France and had an amazing time. This is our cruise since Covid lifted and Embarkation has changed again. There is now a holding line if you turn up prior to your allocated time. It was fast and very efficient and it only took 10 mins to get on the ship. We had pre purchased the drink package expecting it to ready to use, but no ...

We have just spent a week on Ventura, travelling to Spain, Portugal & France with our two children (one being 2.9 years and the other 9 months). We had a fantastic time! Pros: - The staff made this holiday for us! From the terminal boarding to the second we left, the staff were incredibly friendly and included our children at every opportunity. From letting my 2 year old stamp her own ...
