P&O Southampton Cruise Reviews

Cruise to Norway This was our 2nd time on the Iona ship,so we had a good idea about what the ship offered This review will just concentrate on the extra bits we found out about ports of call/odd quirks 1 there is a switch to operate the night light (outside bathroom) beside the bed 2 keep an eye out for promotions on board the ship these do seem to change often and some are ...

Beautiful ship, couldn't fault it, staff lovely, cabins fantastic, brilliant entertainment. But- We did not go to the Fjords. We went to 3 x Norway ports. Due to high winds and rain on the one day IONA was due to go down the fjord to Olden it couldn't do it I think due to its size. I have previously been to the fjords twice in much worse weather and the ships been able to get in. I think this ...

Thurs 5 May, at home, completed health questionnaire, LFT negative, and last minute packing. Fri 6 May, drove to Southampton as we live in NE UK it is 330miles, set the sat nav and car in auto box eco mode, uneventful journey with a few pit stops, car performed excellently 52.5mpg. Overnight in Premier Travel Inn outside Southampton. Sat 7 May, our embarkation time was 3-30pm the latest ...

A very fair review based on our actual experiences. Biggest gripe. We chose this cruise to see the Fjords within Norway. The port of Olden was skipped completely due to 50mph winds. So although the cruise was advertised as “Norwegian Fjords” – we didn’t even get to see any with the skipping of the Olden port. The ship also did not cruise through Innvikfjorden NOR Nordfjord therefore we saw no ...

This was my first cruise ever and it was meant to be mine and my husbands honeymoon but we honestly was so disappointed. First of all we had to pay for private covid test before hand for a cerifly covid certificate which I understood but they only gave us like 2 week notice but we got them anyway. When we arrived in Southampton I was excited and astonished by how big the ship was but that ...

We were really looking forward to our cruise because it had been four years since our last cruise but due to a family bereavement and Covid, this was our first since then. The staff were amazing especially the waiters and buffet crew although some passengers thought there was nothing wrong in asking a bar waiter to walk a few hundred yards to get them a coffee from the buffet. Some people ...

We chose this cruise because it went from Southampton, we are not happy to fly at present. Embarkation was an absolute breeze. The ship looks fantastic a real gem. Every member of staff you meet smiles and goes out their way for you they really do emphasise customer service particularly Joseph in the atrium bar he was just omg far to good at looking after everyone. The layout of the ...

Hi all, I have just come off a cruise with P&O, sailing on the Iona out of Southampton on the 30th April for 7 nights to the Norwegian Fjords The destination was awesome, a must see, but alas I wouldn’t choose P&O as the company that takes you there. Myself and my wife have over 12 cruises under our belt and I am sad to say P&O has cut back on so many areas the quality of service is ...

Sent this feedback to PO as no questionnaire provide- not all bad but not good either , waited a week an P&O haven't bothered to send out a questionnaire or respond to me I wonder why ? (because they don't care). - 4 day cruise 2 cabins cost £2,000 plus drinks as no drinks package available, I live in Southampton so excited to leave on a ship specifically designed for the British cruise ...

Absolutely fantastic in every way. The crew are all absolutely brilliant, every need is attended to immediately, nothing is to much trouble, good crew to customer ratio didn't have to wait long for anything. Multiple restaurants for every taste, fine dining with views across the sea, steaks, Indian, burgers, vegi options somewhere to eat almost 24hs, Lovely cocktails and such a good system ...
