P&O Ventura Cruise Reviews

Having cruised on Ventura twice, pre Covid, we thought we would sail on her again. We had read some comments on here from others stating that standards had slipped on all fronts. However, we kept an open mind. We used the online check in and travelled down by coach. We were on the ship within twenty minutes of arriving at the terminal . Our luggage arrived outside our cabin promptly . ...

Great guy smashing jokes really topped the cruise off. A special mention to vocal xtr3me and sherwin Loved it highly recommend Buffet was alright busy at times. Gusto the room guy was funny and made some Nice animals in the room from towels Leon’s singing at the sail away party was the highlight of my holiday Restaurant food was nice and service was good ...

I booked this as we wanted to visit Amsterdam and I thought it was a good way to combine that with a mini-break. It was booked in July and once confirmed we checked the websites of the places we wanted to visit and booked tickets as soon as we were able. Anne Frank house opens bookings on a specific day 6 weeks in advance so we made sure we knew when that would be so as not to miss out. If ...

Never been to amsterdam, p&o cruise seemed vfm way to spend 2 days in Amsterdam with no flying straight out of Southampton, enjoying quality food accommodation and entertainment. House band Pulse great as ever. Whitney tribute singer amazing. Overall slightly prefer Britania we did 14 nights on to Scandinavia eaarlier in year, bit these are small niggles as unlike Ventura Britania does not ...

N399 Ventura - Spain, France and Portugal. Wow, I would like to start this review by saying wow, what an amazing experience for our first cruise! Positives - The most loveliest staff and crew you will ever meet. - Although an older cruise ship, very clean, tidy and lots of facilities. - Really easy embarkation and disembarkation process at all ports. - Lots of choice when it ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
