We had booked a cruise with my daughter and her family last year, but it got cancelled. So this was the new date. My wife and I, my daughter and her hubby and grandchildren Theo (13 ) and Imogen (11).
The flight from Manchester to Valletta was at 2.05 pm. and because it was late taking off we didn't arrive at Valletta airport until 7.30 pm - their time. Collecting Luggage and embarkation went ...
Sitting here bored, recovering from covid I without doubt caught On this cruise I thought I'd write a review.
All good once we got over the delayed Air Malta flight. P & O well organised at airport and at registration at the dock side. Very efficient, all checked and on our way on board within minutes.
Cabin, aah we took the cheaper allocated-later version, and it was excellent, C614 on ...
After looking forward to our second cruise with P&O, the first being on Oceana, I found myself doing lots of comparisons on the two ships and I must say that Oceana far outstrips Azura.. there is/was one particular reason for this... from day 1 on the Azura there was an almost constant smell of sewage on every deck which sometimes permeated down into main dining areas.
Having spoken to several ...
Petroni on Azura - Embarkation and Cabin - Azura cruise A925 sailing 21st Sept 2019
Also Search for Petroni for info on food, wine and our adventures - rescuing migrants, Monte Carlo 'disaster' trapping 1400 ashore and a bunch of funny (and some not so funny) incidents
Embarkation – brilliant! Slick and well organised. It would be hard to think of any way to improve on it. Well ...
This was the infamous cruise which left 1200 passengers (including me and my wife) stranded in Monte Carlo. We even made the papers.
Don't believe the stories about the weather getting worse and the passenger couldn't be tendered back to the ship. The weather was just a light breeze and the transfer of passengers should have been perfectly OK. The problem was that their was an excess of large ...
This was our second cruise, having been with Royal Caribbean before on a fly-cruise. We preferred going from Southampton as it was more relaxing and more time to get to know the ship before excursions began. However, the weather was pretty bad when we left in force 10 gale! We travelled with family and most of us felt a bit 'off' for the first 3 days. My teenage granddaughter was quite ill. But ...
Looked for a reasonable priced cruise to the Med out of school holidays and as was sailing from Southampton we chose this one.
We had a well appointed balcony cabin on deck 9 with all the amenities one would expect, some of the furnishings however were very tired, the sofa bed being a prime example our cabin steward was most helpful however it was somewhat dusty in places.
The restaurant was ...
We chose this cruise as it was our first and the destinations were places we wanted to visit. We missed embarkation photos etc. as the bus was late. The ship was very nice but a little tired. Getting around was extremely confusing and we found our way round with more help from other passengers than the staff. There could have been clearer sign posting. The dining rooms were excellent, the ...
The cruise was wonderful.
Food and service in restaurants was perfect.
Cabin R519 was good and kept very clean. Disappointed we had the overhang from above casting shadow on balcony
Entertainment was OK ,but not as good as other cruises we have been on.
The best entertainment was the historical murder presentations.
Destinations were fantastic although only 6 hours in Gibraltar was ...
Enjoyable cruise from start to finish. Swift embarkation and luggage soon followed.
Balcony cabin on B deck kept spotless by our cabin steward.
I can't comment on the entertainment as it's never my thing so I don't go.
The food was all good from the grab and go to the main resturants. We had two meals in Epicurian and one in Sindu, both of these select venues are well worth the extra ...
