P&O Senior Cruises Reviews

Having read the reviews in advance we were a little worried. This was our 27th cruise (various lines including P&O). We had an aft balcony cabin which was on the corner of the ship. It was spotlessly clean and, although a little tired furnishing-wise, due ship's age, it was more than adequate. Only gripe was the bed seemed harder than usual. The service around the ship was fine, staff were ...

Organised a friends get together for a weeks cruise around the Greek Islands sailing from Malta. Arrival to Malta went well, embarkation went smoothly. Had an extended stay due to late arriving passengers (not their fault). Valletta is a beautiful city and well worth a visit. One couple in the group were given their cabin keys only to find an officer in their bed who had been working the night ...

Wow just wow, first time cruising so did not know what to expect. This ship and especially the staff exceeded all our expectations!! Firstly the staff greeting you onboard so friendly cases dropped 10 minutes we were on deck 15 having lunch, the rooms beautiful we had a balcony. The food was so lovely fine dining every night and loved the cream tea every day. We saw some great shows, sport ...

This was my first cruise experience which I most definitely will not be repeating. Boarding at Southampton was like waiting to board a ferry, sat in the car along side the ship for an hour in an enormous queue. The cabin was in need of updating but it was clean with comfortable beds. The buffet can only be described as the equivalent of a motorway service station. Food being offered ...

I have only one gripe and that is the arrival time in Malta. I particularly wanted to visit Malta because I lived there as a small child but the late arrival time of 5pm ( we actually boarded at 8 pm but that was out of P&Os hands) from Gatwick meant we would arrive and sail very shortly afterwards. People who flew from Bristol & Manchester arrived at 11am allowing them to leave the ship and ...

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 ...

Just back from a Med cruise on Azura and it was wonderful. The crew cannot do enough for you. The captain is friendly and present around the ship a lot, which was lovely. Food and service in the main dining room was faultless and breakfast and dinner. The buffet was great for lunch, lots of salads as well as heavier options. Veggie dishes are good and easy to find. Plenty of sun loungers ...

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 ...

We chose based on dates, itinerary, price and P&O reputation. Our balcony cabin was roomy, comfortable and mostly well kept. It's a tired older ship, cabin carpet had some stains, the fridge barely worked and the cold water wasn't cold. The ship was crowded, it being August, and felt it at times. Reception weren't great. The main restaurant food was often good, never great, but sometimes iffy. The ...

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 ...
