Very poor Ventura cruise
"My husband and I have recently returned from a cruise to the Canary Isles and are bitterly disappointed. We chose a deluxe balcony cabin but the bed was extremely hard which caused me back problems and the pillows..."Read More

The Ventura cruise departed on ,11the February for a USA/Caribbean cruise of some 35 days.
Initial impressions of the ship were a bit mixed, some good, some less so. Our cabin was a balcony on deck 12, a reasonable size and a comfy bed. Our cabin steward was good and he did his duties well.
Our first port of call was La Corrina, we quite like this call and went ashore for a shop and some ...

Made a mistake by booking Ventura - Very noisy ship especially in the atrium with dance classes going on all day so unable to relax in the bar or coffee lounge. This went on in the evening so instead of having a pianist we had blaring music to contend with -very unpleasant so went to Glasshouse.
Excellent cabin and "Elvor" our cabin steward was very professional and did a excellent ...

We chose this cruise as we have been on Ventura before. I can't express how disappointed I and the rest of my party were. The headliners seemed under rehearsed, the special guests weren't special - comedians that weren't suitable for a Christmas cruise, and a lack of entertainment during the day unless you are a fitness fanatic
The dance lessons were in the central Atrium - who wants to learn ...

My experience on P and O cruises was a first however it sure will be my last. The buffet food is the same each night and is of a low standard. The entertainment onboard was next to none and they had an awful comedian who was on twice a night and on, on more than one night. The drinks package is completely pointless unless you become friendly with the bar staff or walk from bar to bar as theres a ...

This was a last minute cruise booking because we had to cancel our earlier booking on Azura due to having to care for my mum. We have been cruising now for 4 years, my wife loves it. This is the third cruise with P 0 Cruises and second on Ventura. I have to say despite this bad review the staff and crew were always courteous and polite - could not fault that.
Our issue started when we arrived ...

We have been with NCl and Royal Carribean before. This itinerary worked for us and just trying something new. So Disappointing.The positives first.
Embarkation was easy and well organised.
Cabin L224 inside was fine.
Staff were very nice.
Nightly entertainment was good .
Plenty of outside space and sunbeds.
Food was seriously poor. The mdr was terrible and the 4 times we were at ...

Chose this cruise for convenience of date to fit in with our Golden Wedding anniversary celebrations,
As such we booked the Strathaird Suite C751
Boarding and welcome buffet absolutely first class plus.
Our suitcase was waiting at the cabin door as expected.
We entered the suite, first impression , dull drab and old looking furnishings looking very tired!! Gosh what have we done? ...

We have sailed on a dozen occasions with P&O including three previous cruises on Ventura. We previously enjoyed our cruises on Ventura several years ago and wanted to cruise on the ship again.
We have been regular cruisers several times each year for 15 years and aware of the standards of service to be expected and normally provided.
We noticed a significant fall in standards in the ...

We are veterans of twenty cruises and this was our first time with P&O, we chose a seven night trip to the Norwegian Fjords leaving from Southampton.
Parking was superb, boarding efficient our bags were outside our cabin by the time we got there, room attendant excellent and beyond reproach.
The ship itself was just dull, no wow factors at all everything Brown and beige. The shops were ...
