"All of the above in many ways were minor issues, we enjoyed our cruise, but the cumulative effect is such that we are unlikely to cruise with P&O in the near future, also a missed port due to high winds was disappointing although clearly not the fault of P&O.We have used the Retreat (equivalent) on the Princess Caribbean ( identical ship to Azura) and it is so much better, cleaner, better food, massage , better sunbeds...."Read More

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 ...

Petty rules, no officers

Was weary of going with P & O and I was right, firstly the awful smell of sewage on deck 7 all through one of the cabaret bars, not an officer in sight all the first week. Secondly the petty rules associated with the drinks package, you were allowed 15 drinks a day, but no doubles. At the bar I asked for 2 single gins ( using 2 of my 15 allowance ), but no, I could only have 1 and had to wait 15 ...

Spent several weeks retrying to cancel as entitled when 49% itinerary changed. No response from PO. Dreadful service not shown to cabin, lunch in canteen wine served in plastic. No turn down service stewards working in restaurant in evenings, Repetitive menu. Apps for booking shows and dining, resulting in 21/2 hours in dining room and missing shows. Should look at their ...

This was our 1st cruise since before the covid lockdown we were really looking forward to it. We arrived in sunny Malta for a week around Corsica, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Sicily. We booked an inside cabin so we could spend more on excursions and other stuff and it was fine. I did miss the turn down and the chocolate on the pillow but we did find out that the stewards were being used else where on ...

Lovely Cruise & Stay (but cut short by Covid)

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 ...

We did a fly cruise to join Azura in Malta flew from Gatwick boarding the flight and flight itself was seamless going out no delays. re was a 2 hour delay on the return due to pilots being late as they had to have a statutory rest period . We chose Cophall parking to park the car at the airport and collection from Gatwick north was shambolic totally disorganised , drivers did not know who they ...

Members of my family offered me the chance to cruise with them on Azura. I was very pleased to take up the offer. We only had one week, but it was a chance to visit Croatia and to see Malta again. Azura was just as I remembered her. (Last visit was in 2014} My daughter and I had a twin cabin with balcony on Lido deck. Apart from the tiny shower .It was great. Dining arrangements and visiting ...

We had booked a cruise with my daughter and her family last year, but it got cancelled. So this was the new date. My wife and I, my daughter and her hubby and grandchildren Theo (13 ) and Imogen (11). The flight from Manchester to Valletta was at 2.05 pm. and because it was late taking off we didn't arrive at Valletta airport until 7.30 pm - their time. Collecting Luggage and embarkation went ...

We had to cancel an earlier cruise on Azamara due to Covid and this was a last minute getaway.We were pleasantly surprised to be on the ship by noon considering our embarkation time was 1pm. P&O had plenty of staff at the airport and the cruise terminal. It was great that we were under cover and cool whilst waiting as temperatures were very high.The ship was clean and our room on deck 9 very ...

I am a fan of P&O and have cruised with them a number of times to various destinations, but this cruise was average at best and will make me consider carefully if I cruise with P&O again. We selected and booked the cruise at fairly short notice about 2 months ago, accommodation choice was limited but we were able to book a Balcony cabin. The ship exterior and public area were in very good ...
