We've sailed with P&O many times, first sailing with them back in 2011. This was the first time we were going to receive 'priority' boarding, however our embarkation time was delayed due to the requirement for the ship to be deep cleaned after a gastro intestinal disease outbreak. We arrived on time for our delayed embarkation and waited two hours outside before we were let into the terminal. We ...
We have cruised on many different lines as well as P&O. We noticed a distinct drop in both quality and service on this cruise compared to previous pre Covid P&O cruises. I appreciate they lost money over the Covid period and need to try to regain some of that back. But they are moving too drastically and it has adversely affected our enjoyment to the point whereby we will probably be looking ...
I decided to book this cruise as a surprise for my father who was turning 70 years old on this cruise.
Embarkation- Everybody got too the mayflower terminal at the same time but surprisingly the queue went down very rapid and we where on the ship within the hour,; staff where very helpful not any issues at all
Main dinning room- the food was very good on quality and quantity our waiters ...
I am a mature female British Citizen. I travelled with P & O Cruises, on the Ship Ventura, for the first time. My Embarkation Date: 01/12/2022. From Southampton Port, UK. Disembarkation Date: 05/01/2023. Cruise Number: N233. Caribbean & USA Cruise. Single Passenger.
Certain Ventura Staff and Passengers, behave in a Nasty, Hostile manner, towards people who have black/brown skin. Such Staff and ...
Boarding was messy. No porters so had to drop our cases ourselves then queue up outside the terminal in the cold for 30mins.
Cabins are only surface cleaned once a day now and no evening turndown. Our cabin had handprints on the walls, the telephone was filthy and I don’t want to think about the carpet.
I have to say that there were a lot more grossly overweight, tattooed passengers who ...
I wanted to be away at Christmas as I had lost my wife 2 years earlier during that time.
We had traveled with P & O and been loyal to their brand for over 20 Years.
The standard of Food and of entertainment was abysmal and I will never travel with them again. There were so many other things wrong and so many thing’s missing when compared to previous experiences.
It not acceptable to ...
Review of N233 P&O Ventura 1st Dec ’22 – 5th Jan ‘23
We paid around £14,000 for two of us in a deluxe balcony on deck 9 in D607. Was this value for money? Nowhere near!!!
Cabin
First impressions are so important. The cabin looked generally tired. Whilst not actually filthy, the cabin was dirty. Lots of areas had clearly not been cleaned for months. There was at least 3 months of dust on ...
We decided to go ahead with this cruise even though major alterations to the itinerary included the cancellation of all the American ports of call and also at the very last minute the cancellation of a call in Belize. P and O did compensate us with generous on board spend which certainly helped .Only 971 passengers boarded after the cancellations and there was plenty of space,sun beds,places to ...
This was a 5 week cruise, having only undertaken a few shorter cruises before, unlike many well seasoned cruisers on board, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality, standard and presentation of everything.
In a nut shell: on reading reviews (after we had paid a deposit) I started to get concerned! Fortunately a very level headed well travelled friend reassured me that the Ventura was ...
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 ...
