Early misgivings over what to expect from recent reviews were dismissed as soon as we got to the Mayflower Cruise Terminal, boarding was seamless, from check in to a glass in hand was just 20 minutes, Our Deluxe Cabin starboard/aft was large with an extended non overlooked balcony. it was clean spacious with a lovely touch of Champagne and Chocolates, a welcome return of dressing gowns and ...
We booked this pre- Christmas cruise to Portugal and Spain because it was as cheap as a B&B and we were missing the sunshine. From our previous experience with P&O, we had low expectations but the Ventura is a nice mid-sized ship and we had a good time. The crew were good and the entertainment was acceptable but it was evident that P&O had "cut everything to the bone". In particular, the food was ...
This was mine and my husbands first cruise. We had chosen this as our Honeymoon so decided to do the Arcadia as child free and we wanted to see the Northern Lights.
I knew this cruise would be older generation (I am 40 and one of youngest there)
I had done my research and we booked a year in advance (one so we could save up and have balcony room for space and two so we had plenty of time ...
We chose Cunard because it was named as a Northern Lights Cruise. We wanted to see Norway, Northern Lights and Viking Villages.
The Cunard transfers to get to the ship and back were seamless. Great flights, the shuttle service was on time and accommodating both directions. The ship onboard and offboard process was seamless and easy.
The cabin steward and purser staff were very helpful and ...
My wife and I have been on 25 Cunard cruises and just three on other lines, one on the P&O Iona with the family, so were interested to compare Arcadia with Queen Victoria and Elizabeth. In summary, the ships and their feel are similar, the major differences being the upper decks being accessible on Arcadia but limited to "Grills" class guests on Cunard, so this gives more venues and open deck ...
We were on the Silhouette for our first transatlantic cruise. Was wonderful! The ship is beautiful, food in Blu and the buffet was consistently great, and staff were very friendly. After 11 nights, we still felt the food variety was excellent.
Our stateroom attendant was the best! Gym is perfect and has everything you need.
I was surprised to read some of the other reviews because our ...
This was our sixth transatlantic cruise, the second on the Getaway and our eighth overall on an NCL vessel. Our cruise and the Getaway were par-for-the-course meeting expectations. No surprises or unexpected disappointments...It's one of the big ships with all the competitive bells & whistles. The staterooms & bathrooms are clean, somewhat spacious, comfortable and practical. A shortage of ubs ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
