Embarkation was easy.
Ship spotlessly clean and we could see the hard working staff cleaning and polishing every day and disinfecting all common areas. The service throughout the ship for the entire journey was perfect.
Ferdinand our cabin steward was top notch, cabin was always spotless.
The quality of food on Ventura is of a very high standard for such a large ship. Restaurants very ...
We were sailing on the Ventura in the Canary islands and we have really enjoy it.This year, a group of friends and I decided to visit the Canary Islands with this cruise company. I had never traveled to this company. The ship had everything that you needed. Unfortunatly the trips they offered we found to be expensive. We came across a company by accident called Lanzarote experience tours, on ...
What an amazing experience overall with very little to fault!
Embarkation was swift, we used CP Parking and had priority boarding through our suite booking. It took us less than 20 minutes from arrival at the dock in our car to stepping on board the ship - couldn't have been any easier!
Once on board we did find that there was no assistance/help for those new to cruising to know where we ...
Firstly embarkation was a breeze. Turned up early and no hanging about. A porter came over collected our cases and off we went. But if you take a suit bag you have to carry this on yourself. Straight onto the ship, the bars where open the holiday was well under way, and didn't have to wait ages for the cases to arrive at our cabin.
The cabin had plenty of hanging space, coat hangers and comfy ...
Embarkation was smooth, we waited about 30 mins to be called.The ship was easy to navigate and very clean. Always found somewhere to sit during the day and in the evening. We had a delux balcony cabin and were very impressed with the size and storage. It was kept spink and span by our attendant. The food was comparable with other cruises. We especially liked the grab and go option at lunch. I ...
Lovely itinerary to Faroes, Iceland, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Embarkation was easy with pre arranged assistance.
Food was much better than our previous cruise on Ventura, we ate most of the time in the MDR for breakfast, lunch and dinner as we find the buffet difficult with a wheelchair although staff are always willing to help. A couple of times my partner got us a bacon roll from the ...
We went on the Ventura specifically for the Strictly Come Dancing themed cruise from Southampton around the Mediterranean on 2nd June. We thoroughly enjoyed all the Strictly shows and meeting the Strictly dancers including Oti Mabuse, Graziano, Alijaz and Janette and head judge Shirley Ballas. The entertainment was very good indeed and if you didn't want to immerse yourself in the Strictly theme ...
A 7 day trip to Norway fiords. Very enjoyable apart from the weather which unfortunately we can’t order. This ship is big but well organised with plenty to do, good shows with choice and excellent dining in restaurants. Self service not so good, very repetitive. We were well looked after in our cabin by our friendly smiley Steward. The ship was full as it was half term but we enjoyed being with a ...
First p&O cruise , we have always gone with tui (Thomson) before but wanted to see what it was like going from Southampton, we got there earlier than are allocated time and must say went through the embarkation procedure very smoothly, I had read previous reviews about the ship some good some bad , although some areas looked a bit tired overall the ship was fine, the cabin was no better than what ...
Embarkation. A bit chaotic, to say the least. We were due to check in at 15:30 but were still queuing to park the car at that time. Apparently there were issues with the airbridge connecting the ship to the terminal, although we were never told officially. We eventually boarded at around 17:00, just in time to get to the emergency drill.
Ship & cabin. It was our fifth time on the Ventura and ...
