P&O Azura Cruise Reviews for Fitness to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean from Southampton

We are just back from one of the best cruises we have had on the beautiful Azura. Fantastic from the moment we pulled up in the car portside and had our bags efficiently whisked away to and the smiling check in ladies and gents. Our cabin was available immediately and our bags were there before we were, and it only took us 20 minutes to board! Our cabin was immaculate, and bright and ...

Travelled as a family to Norway for the first time. Also first time on Azura. We arrived earlier than our embarkation time and did not have to wait long in departures to get on the ship. We chose a balcony cabin on deck C because of the larger balcony and it was brilliant. We found the cabin big enough for a week with a teenager in tow, lots of storage. Our cabin steward was lovely and very ...

We decided on this cruise for the ports of call, and it was great choice. September can be dodgy with the sun/rain, but this was sunshine all the way, with temperatures around the mid 20's. This was our first time on Azura but we have been on the sister ship Ventura, but we did find Azura a more happy place - not sure why but it might have something to do with the Captain - a great bloke. Yes if ...

We chose this cruise for our 50th Anniversary, we've been on the Azura before & enjoyed ourselves. Our cabin was lovely, food & entertainment fantastic, The Entertainments Team lead by Benne worked so hard, so much energy. The Sail Aways were exciting & got people into the swing of things. Staff all very helpful & understanding. Great choice of food in the Buffet, so much. Varied ...

Chose this cruise as it was going to the Greek Islands. We travel regularly with P&O usually on adult only ships but chose the Azura this time due to its itinerary. The cruise itself was great,brilliant ship and lovely cabin. Weather excellent except for one day. Our cabin steward was so helpful and all the staff very helpful and friendly.The captain is excellent ,so friendly and humorous. We ...

Firstly, although only our second cruise (the first being on Ventura in 2011), we found this to be an excellent Ship and tour. I booked Freedom Dining 18 months ago, and have found it to be ideal for us, as we decide when we wish to eat, and if they cannot accomodate you straight away you get a pager whilst waiting for the table (our maximum wait was 10 minutes!). Sometimes if we did not fancy ...

My new husband and I took our mums away in order for them to get to know one another better. As this was advertised as a "Strictly Come Dancing" theme cruise we were hoping/expecting that there would be some evening dancing exhibitions or behind the scenes discussions related this topic. It really didn't transpire. There was an amateur dance class but no different from any other cruise and there ...

WHO AM I I hope that this review, conveys some of the joys and frustrations of cruising. To hardened veterans there will be little new, except my personal take on things, but for those planning to cruise for the first time I hope it represents an honest and open assessment that helps you decide if cruising "is for you". I apologise to those who think it goes on a bit, however I have included some ...
