Cruise for Christmas! Sounds lovely right
Except for bacon found in a vegan meal. Plastic found in the buffet tikka masala and rude receptionists who get defensive when you tell them something is wrong rather than helping and then ignore you until you go away. A virtual queuing system that doesn’t work despite the receptionists and restaurant staff swearing by it. All the specialty restaurants ...
We chose this cruise because it was outside of school holidays and it went to some places we had not been to on other cruises. We started in Valetta, did a week in the eastern Med then back to Valetta, we then stayed on and went to Palma, Gibraltar and then onto the Canaries.
We usually prefer adult only ships and smaller ships, to date this was the biggest ship we had been on.
Having booked ...
We booked a week cruise around Corsica & Italy, followed by 4 days at the AX Palace in Malta with P&O in Sept 2022.
By now formal Covid testing was not compulsory, and we duly did our home test kits, (negative), filled in our declarations & off we went. We chose P&O as we'd been on the Britannia in the past, and knew we could expect great service etc.
We had booked an inside cabin to cut ...
First time cruisers with teenage son....A brilliant cruise from start to finish ...Easy embarkation,..cabin kept spotless -by cabin steward diogo (a real star!!). Great food in peninsular restaurant .....loads of choice to suit all tastes ...staff very friendly and helpful at all times (Kristine was a gem and took time every night to check everything was ok) Never had to wait for a table and ...
We chose this cruise as it looked like it would be relaxing with a some interesting ports and it did't disappoint, embarkation at Southampton was well organised and stress free, enjoyed the sea days relaxing and although the ship was full we could always find a lounger, the ship is well laid out and easy to navigate and is well maintained with modern decor & furniture. We really enjoyed the ...
We have cruised twice before with Princess and Royal Caribbean and decided to give P&O a chance.
We had heard that P&O were more formal than many other cruise lines but found that this was not the case.
Apologies if this review isn't 'professional' as this is the first review I have written for anything.
The motivation for this really stems from reading some negative reviews this year on ...
I chose this cruise specifically for the destinations. I only found out after booking this cruise that it was a Strictly come dancing cruise. What a bonus!
11 of us travelled down in 3 cars. Upon arrival our luggage was taken from us by efficient and friendly attendants who then drove away and parked the cars for the duration of the 2 weeks holiday. Easy and stress free and well worth the ...

CCD cruise , enjoyed the same trip last year so booked again
Very lucky with weather , previous few weeks had been very wet and windy but as soon as we entered the Med the sun came out and it stayed that way until the final sea day.
Select dining excellent , brilliant service all round.
Quality of food pretty good considering the overall cost of the trip.
Lido deck port side ...
This was not our first cruise with P.O. but definitely the worst,
Cabin kept perfectly by Edward and were given all the attention needed.
Entertainment mixed plenty to watch but the venues are stretched across the ship, and people wanting to watch more than one programme per night had to traverse nearly the length of the ship. The theatre was very well built for the viewing of the ...
My wife and I found the Azura absolutely spotless and we could not fault anything whatsoever! We felt like VIP's nothing was too much trouble for any of the very hard working staff!
The entertainment was second to none and so was the food! There was always something to do on the ship! They even had an excellent gym to work off all the calories from the constant eating! We felt pampered and ...
