1-10 of 46 Malta (Valletta) to Europe - Eastern Mediterranean P&O Azura Cruise Reviews
Whilst the crew were attentive some had only very limited English. The ship was immaculately clean and our cabin steward was lovely but the ice bucket ordered for 6pm each evening more often than not failed to arrive on time if at all.
The food for the first 2/3 days was tepid and we regularly sent back cold coffee.
There was no information given about ports of call other than to suggest ...
we have just returned from a cruise on the azura along the croation coast flying from malta,we went with another couple ,the cruise on the azura & with p & o was very good & i dont understand a lot of the negative reviews i looked at before we left.
ok a few small issues like the buffet being crowded at times,which it will be because you have over 3000 people on board.
the balcony cabin ...
Never again. First time on p&o. so disappointed. Bar service non existant. Sometimes had to wait for over a quarter of an hour just to order a drink. And another to be served. Food——- . Most street food is even better. Buffet so poor with almost no choice at all. The meat when available was as though as leather. We have been on various different cruise lines but never like this. So poor. Asked ...
Too many overweight and ill mannered seniors on board (although there were quality passengers also).
Too few comfortable seats in desirable areas unless constantly harrassed by (very polite) waiters to buy drink after drink.
The instant you emptied a cup, glass, or plate it was removed by waiters (sometimes they had to be told to leave glasses alone).
Loud, unpleasant "Rap" music piped ...
Organised a friends get together for a weeks cruise around the Greek Islands sailing from Malta. Arrival to Malta went well, embarkation went smoothly. Had an extended stay due to late arriving passengers (not their fault). Valletta is a beautiful city and well worth a visit. One couple in the group were given their cabin keys only to find an officer in their bed who had been working the night ...
FIRST TIME CRUISER
I went with a friend , simply no good on all levels boring , flat atmosphere, rough sailing , missed stops, mykynos and skatios no compensation , late sailing by 7 hrs! no entertainment , food OK, staff miserable . Captains night waste of time . What was the point ? I didn't get why ? I can't really say I went to Greece ! What I saw was rubbish . ( because of missed ...
I don't want to waste a lot of my time writing this review, but just to say that we were with a group of people (10 in total) and we all has a lot of issues during our weeks cruise. Worst of all it was my friends wedding onboard, and many of her arrangements and our dining plans were messed up! We weren't able to sit together for dinner until the 4th night!! Even the special wedding night meal saw ...
Chose to go with p and o because of recommendations from friends . This was our first cruise, only my husband and myself in the party . Our baggage labels were sent to us and printed and put on our cases . We had confirmation of a free upgrade. When we reached the embarkation point we were told those labels didn’t match our cabin. The staff didn’t know why so we were left waiting until they found ...
Having read the reviews in advance we were a little worried. This was our 27th cruise (various lines including P&O). We had an aft balcony cabin which was on the corner of the ship. It was spotlessly clean and, although a little tired furnishing-wise, due ship's age, it was more than adequate. Only gripe was the bed seemed harder than usual. The service around the ship was fine, staff were ...
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 ...
