Malta (Valletta) to the Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Well Azura delivered again. Flights, transfers perfect. Flew with Jet2 on the brand new 321neo out from Manchester flight was 6:55AM lovely aircraft and great crew. Night before since this was a scheduled flight we were able to check the luggage in the night before then in the morning go straight to security. Next year we fly with TUI to join the ship and its a shame we are not able to do this it ...

I have only one gripe and that is the arrival time in Malta. I particularly wanted to visit Malta because I lived there as a small child but the late arrival time of 5pm ( we actually boarded at 8 pm but that was out of P&Os hands) from Gatwick meant we would arrive and sail very shortly afterwards. People who flew from Bristol & Manchester arrived at 11am allowing them to leave the ship and ...

Just back from a Med cruise on Azura and it was wonderful. The crew cannot do enough for you. The captain is friendly and present around the ship a lot, which was lovely. Food and service in the main dining room was faultless and breakfast and dinner. The buffet was great for lunch, lots of salads as well as heavier options. Veggie dishes are good and easy to find. Plenty of sun loungers ...

I was a little hesitated to book this cruise given some of the more recent reviews were a bit mixed. However, I’ve just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable cruise with no significant complaints. It appears some of the die hard cruisers on here have been disappointed by some of the very minor changes P&O may have made with certain aspects. But in reality they will have no material impact on your ...

Chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary and it didn’t disappoint We flew to Malta from Bristol with TUI and it all went smoothly, we boarded not long after 11.00. We had packed some swimming costumes in our carry on luggage so could make quick use of the pools and hot tub as soon as we boarded (we changed in the spa changing rooms and staff offered a key for the locker to store our ...

Cannot fault the entire experience. From flight check in at Manchester, the TUI flight, check in for the cruise at Malta, the entire experience onboard to picking up the bags on return to Manchester airport. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. P&O's organizations was superb. Our superior deluxe cabin on deck 9 midship was immaculate throughout. It had a full size bathroom. We had an attentive steward ...

We really loved the sailing element of this Mediterranean cruise, and the feel of being on a small ship. The sails were up most of the time, although I’m not sure how much of our journey was carried out under pure sail rather than ‘motor-sailing’, because of course they do have to keep to schedule. Star Flyer is a beautiful, elegant ship – lots of brass and varnished wood, and neatly coiled ...

We chose this cruise because it was outside of school holidays and it went to some places we had not been to on other cruises. We started in Valetta, did a week in the eastern Med then back to Valetta, we then stayed on and went to Palma, Gibraltar and then onto the Canaries. We usually prefer adult only ships and smaller ships, to date this was the biggest ship we had been on. Having booked ...

We booked a week cruise around Corsica & Italy, followed by 4 days at the AX Palace in Malta with P&O in Sept 2022. By now formal Covid testing was not compulsory, and we duly did our home test kits, (negative), filled in our declarations & off we went. We chose P&O as we'd been on the Britannia in the past, and knew we could expect great service etc. We had booked an inside cabin to cut ...

The 930-passenger ship is a perfect size for me. The penthouse veranda was nicely appointed and the beds were very comfortable. The ship has a couple specialty restaurants that were excellent. The main restaurant was also very good with a wide variety of specialties served throughout the cruise. We purchased the drinks package, which was very worthwhile for us as we typically have a drink or two ...
