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 ...
This was our first cruise with P&O and it came up short in comparison with the line we previously used. In my opinion the Azura is in need of a refurbishment. Many fixtures and furnishings were worn and in poor condition and the beds in our cabin were very uncomfortable. Dining options were limited and the buffet food quality was very poor with very limited choice and the service was not available ...
We chose this cruise as my husband wanted to see the Fjords and photograph the landscape.
I read all reviews prior to going on the cruise. All I can say is that I think we must have gone on a different cruise to everyone who had negative comments about Azura.
Our cabin was spotless (a balcony cabin), the cabin steward was excellent and cleaned the cabin twice a day. Couldn't complain about ...
We are a couple in our 50s who have done plenty of cruises before and have actually been on Azura twice before.
This was a last minute cruise – 7 nights in the fjords, booked (when we unexpectantly managed to get a week off work together) about a week before we travelled.
As such we ended up with a guaranteed inside cabin when we usually hand pick the balcony we want!! We were assigned ...
Very disappointing, ship tired and staff very lacklustre, not one member of staff went that extra mile,
Hygiene not enforced at all surprising considering that they had noro virus a few weeks before.
Entertainment team non existent, buffet food appalling, dining room just satisfactory, poor service and no interaction, served as if we were in a fast food establishment. We had an issue ...
I'm on the same "eventful" cruise Mr. Unknown had been (previous review). Key points to address:
1. Nearly no cruise ship has a helicopter pad - airlifting is standard procedure, as is evacuating rooms / restricting balcony access. This was all done in strict accordance with safety procedures, and I have to say the crew did this well despite inconvenience this might cause.
2. We did have ...
Just returned from the Azura cruise to Cherbourg, La Coruna, Santander and Guernsey A911. The weather was not brilliant but generally not too bad apart from our return crossing on the Bay of Biscay. We had winds of 55 Knots, Waves of 9 Metres and a 5 Metre swell. to say the ship was moving a lot would be a massive understatement. Some people spent the night in the Atrium wrapped in blankets ...
We chose the cruise as it was available for my significant birthday was only a week long and sailed from Southampton.
We also booked a superior deluxe on the sailing for not much more than a standard balcony.
We sailed with my oh’s parents and had a nice time but both and oh’s parents who are exprencied cruisers felt pretty let down by p and o.
We felt the food choice in the buffet pretty ...
I liked the size of the ship , not too big, embarkation was much faster (10 min queue) rather than for Britannia (2 hours queue).
But the whole ship needs a total refurb , all the chairs and sofas are incredibly low, some almost impossible to get out of, in the dining rooms you felt like a child sitting at the tables and a lot of people made the same comment. Our superior balcony was quite ...
This was a last minute decision - booked only a week before departure. We have sailed from Southampton before and this time used CPS to park the car - a very smooth experience when you get to Southampton.
No time to look around Southampton upon arrival, straight into the embarkation process, which - in our experience - is always very efficient and enjoyable. You feel as though your holiday has ...
