Southampton to the Canary Islands Cruise Reviews

Having enjoyed previous cruises with P&O and the itinerary suited our need to celebrate a birthday, we booked a cruise to Spain and Portugal. The ship is beautiful but the quality of the food and the service has declined over recent times. The daytime entertainment was poor with most events designed to 'sell' rather than entertain! No live music until mid afternoon yet the lounge was often full. ...

We have cruised with p.o very many times and i have to say that we have always had a very enjoyable time, our last cruise was in 2019 we did have three cruises booked after covid but p.o but they were cancelled as we had never been away for a chrismas and new year cruise we transferred one of our outstanding booking to arcadia. Boarding was very quick and easy, after our loyalty lunch we went to ...

We have just returned from Cruise N336 which was the 2023 Christmas Cruise to the Canary Islands with P&O Cruises aboard the MV Ventura where we had a Suite, one of the best rooms on the ship. Unless things change however, has been our last cruise with P&O. Prices are increasing at a rapid rate yet there are constantly cutting services, they are no longer value for money or premium. ...

Had cruised on Ventura pre covid and 10 plus other cruises, reasonable standard not wow but ok . Now its standards have fallen so far, cost cutting to the bones ferry companies provide better. Cabin cleaned bed made if requested with card in lock once a day no turn down.,Bathroom no apparent cleaning as nothing ever moved mould in tiles grout coming out..Lack of vegetables on board asked for ...

I chose to go on this cruise for many reasons. Having sailed on Ventura several times the level of standards have dropped significantly. Entertainment wasn't too good with the exception of the Four Harps, Ben Kearsley and Morecambe and Wise tribute. The comedians were mediocre. The headliners same old with the exception of The Christmas show. So many things have been taken away from ...

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 . ...

Age 20-30, cruised with Royal Caribbean 15+ times so sought to try another cruise liner, and we were recommended Princess Cruises. Whilst we wasn't at all disappointed with the recommendation, as the service, food and ship itself could not be faulted, there is absolutely nothing to do for fun unless you like endless quizzing, bingo or forced game shows. Of an evening, after dinner, there is no ...

We have cruised over 20 times with P&O but this ship was a poor experience for us. The ship itself is very nice,but as far as we are concerned thats where it ends!!. The ship is very large and impersonal, unlike the other ships it just does not flow. Once onboard we had to download the holiday app in order to book shows etc, however that was a complete farce because as soon as we tried to book ...

We chose this cruise as we are Diamond Class on Royal Caribbean and so far they have never disappointed. We wanted to try this ship as the only RCI Southampton based and needed to sample before commiting to other sailings. For us this ship is too big and even though it was not a School break there were 500 children on board. We had a balcony but also a young family either side, when they were ...

As loyal Celebrity Select Captains Club Members - This is our fourth Celebrity cruise, and the second on this lovely ship. We pre purchased the Drinks, Wi-Fi and Gratuities Package, when booking the cruise. We didn’t book any excursions, as few seemed wheelchair friendly and we are happy to re discover places under our own steam.Having said that, the distance between where the ship docks and ...
