P&O Romantic Cruises Reviews

we have just returned from a cruise on the azura along the croation coast flying from malta,we went with another couple ,the cruise on the azura & with p & o was very good & i dont understand a lot of the negative reviews i looked at before we left. ok a few small issues like the buffet being crowded at times,which it will be because you have over 3000 people on board. the balcony cabin ...

We like the smaller ships and particularly Aurora. We had wonderful calm seas for 16 days and then a Force 10 storm with high seas and missed Gibraltar as it was closed. We had already had Rhodes cancelled 6 months before the cruise and replaced with Messina, where we have been many times. The food in the main dining room seemed to be always roast this and roast that, along with 3 veggie ...

This is my second time on Azura, but the first time I have been on her at capacity. Found it a bit dauntingly busy in places but the staff really tried their very best to keep up with busy bars and dining rooms. Dining - A shame the app wasn't being used in my opinion. Instead quite a lot of queues and buzzers for the Main Dining rooms. The staff were clearly under enormous pressure. Breakfast ...

Never again. First time on p&o. so disappointed. Bar service non existant. Sometimes had to wait for over a quarter of an hour just to order a drink. And another to be served. Food——- . Most street food is even better. Buffet so poor with almost no choice at all. The meat when available was as though as leather. We have been on various different cruise lines but never like this. So poor. Asked ...

Too many overweight and ill mannered seniors on board (although there were quality passengers also). Too few comfortable seats in desirable areas unless constantly harrassed by (very polite) waiters to buy drink after drink. The instant you emptied a cup, glass, or plate it was removed by waiters (sometimes they had to be told to leave glasses alone). Loud, unpleasant "Rap" music piped ...

We chose this cruise as a late deal booking 3 weeks beforehand. 5 day break to Le Havre & Rotterdam We usually book a suite but due to late booking sold out so we opted for a superior deluxe balcony cabin. This is aft. Very spacious. We didn’t feel too much motion which I was surprised about. The only issue for some may be the Havana club is right above the room and could hear the music going ...

Hadn’t sailed with P and O for a few years and were slightly concerned with negative reviews. We were pleasantly surprised at how lovely the Ventura was. Looked well maintained and clean. Easy to get around ship in my wheelchair and waiters were very helpful in MDRs, moving chairs to accomodate me. We booked a standard balcony cabin as I don’t need a fully accessible cabin. There was plenty of ...

We’re experienced cruisers but our first time on P&O. We’d always believed P&O to be a cut above the rest but our experience on Ventura fell short of expectations. There’s nothing basically wrong with P&O Ventura but it didn’t “wow”. It all felt a bit pedestrian, service reduced to a minimum, no frills, no extras. Everything feels a bit lack lustre. Talking to other guests who have ...

Travelled 9th to 19th September 2023 (couple aged mid 50s) Having read some of the very poor reviews a few months before our trip, my partner and I were a little anxious that it would not meet our expectations - especially having cruised with other companies before. This was our first P&O experience so they had a lot to live up to. What can I say except we have just returned home after ...

FIRST TIME CRUISER I went with a friend , simply no good on all levels boring , flat atmosphere, rough sailing , missed stops, mykynos and skatios no compensation , late sailing by 7 hrs! no entertainment , food OK, staff miserable . Captains night waste of time . What was the point ? I didn't get why ? I can't really say I went to Greece ! What I saw was rubbish . ( because of missed ...
