Cruise chosen for interesting ports of call. Last on this ship 15 yrs ago. apart from a few theatre productions the overall entertainment was poor, there were more quizzes on this ship on a daily basis than ever before. One busker left the ship but not replaced mid cruise. Pianists only played for 45 min each session. Everything was very repetitive ( even the quiz questions). No appearance of the ...
We've been cruising exclusively with P&O for the past ten years. The latest cruise was to the Med from Southampton. I really like P&O but post COVID the quality of service does make me question if we will cruise with them again.
We accept that the acute gastroenteritis outbreak didn't help matters (we later found out that there was also COVID cases but these were not mentioned on the 1800 ...
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 ...
P & O advertise an enjoyable holiday at reasonable price and this is exactly what it provides.
The Acadia is not a glamorous or modern ship but has its own charm.
Our embarkation was slick and because we had a time slot we boarded the ship within half an hour of turning up at the port in Southampton. We were signed off at our muster station and went directly to have lunch in the Belvedere ...
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 ...
