Southampton to the Canary Islands Cruise Reviews

Needs a complete re think on many of its services. Did a P&O 8 years ago and wasn't impressed but tried again to see how things have improved. Sadly I am unable to give a good review. Cabins are ok but if you don't put your sign on the door it won't be cleaned.. its apparently policy that staff can't go and clean unless you put a sign on your door... anyway.. you only get hand-wash, shower ...

The only thing to say about the entertainment was that it was loud. We listened to tne full thud of it most nights in our cabin We complained to the Dining Manager Tony ( from Croatia). Twice we told him and twice he did nothing at all. Hence the low rating The food choice was good but with tne exception of tne street food was of a low quality. I’m not sure why I should pay extra to ...

check in was easy and took about 30 minutes to get on the ship. We self disembarked which was also quite quick . No wow factor on boarding the ship. There are 3 sets of 8 lifts and you wait ages for a lift and it is often full . Maximum 8 people in each lift less if there is a mobility scooter or wheelchair and there are over 5000 guests . Last day 12 lifts out of 24 were out of ...

We chose this cruise to have a little sunshine in January. It was the first and will most definitely be the last time on this uncomfortable vibrating cruise ship. My wife and I have travelled in many ships over the years and P&O up to now have been our favourite cruise company. The Iona cruise ship is big, probably too big if I’m being honest as even the calmest sea it vibrates into a ...

Having cruised many times ith P&O we were appalled at the fall in standards. The quality, eating habits, behaviour and particularly the dress of many passengers was dreadful. On ' strictly' formal nights, passengers were allowed into the Cinnamon Restaurant iny any old attire, One man, jacketless was allowed in in just a shirt and trousers. It was even worse in the Waterside self service ...

I have cruised with Celebrity Cruise Lines for many cruises and this one ranks as the worst one ever. On this cruise the Blu restaurant was disgusting, typically in Blu the service is excellent especially at breakfast time with someone always going around with coffee and someone else with pastries but not on this cruise we always had to ask for more coffee and was only offered pastries twice most ...

We recently returned from a 12 night cruise around the Med on Anthem which was painfully long to the point we were looking for flights home at different ports and had there been available we would of 100% got off. The ship is majorly overcrowded not 1 day out of the 12 did we get a bed let alone a seat beside the pool or even close to the area. A number of times we just had to leave our stuff ...

It started to go wrong on the second evening at dinner. Three people on my table had the lamb which came with shards of bone in each mouthful. The Maitre D was not bothered. The cruise became steadily worse. We were never offered coffee after dinner. In Lisbon the whole of my coach asked for the tour to be ended early by taking us back to the ship. In the buffet "Waldorf salad" had the walnuts, ...

Long review, but I have the time in-between trying to drink myself to death on the drinks package. I’ll try to make it as constructive as possible for anyone trapped on board an MSC cruise or who cannot cancel a booking. Re the latter, if you can cancel, do. Pros: Cabin stewards and many of the underpaid, overworked wait staff. The disability accessible cabin was good. Cons: MSC is ...

OMG was this ship over packed with people and because of that it was honestly the worst cruise and the worst holiday we've ever been on. The ship itself is lovely with lots of facilities for family and children but the food was awful and there were queues everywhere for everything. Anything that you could buy was super expensive. Eg in the chocolate shop a single tiny Belgium chocolate was £2 ...
