P&O Ventura Cruise Reviews

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 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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It has takem me until now to write this critique because I came back so angry and disappointed : we have been cruising with P and O and princess ships for 12 years or more including the Ventura : NEVER WITH P and O again!! canaries was on my bucket list for my 70th brthday gift problems started when couldn't have table for 2: instead we were put on a table for 6 with people I didn't want to ...

Well that is us ashore and making our way home from Ventura. We had an amazing holiday, met great people, and stunning port calls. Value for money was excellent but where do you start with Ventura? She is clearly a Marmite ship with many loyal followers which is good, however and for us we was not impressed at all. Cleanliness is well well below acceptable standards never mind what you expect ...

Choosing Ventura for half term week was a gamble, she was full yet I was on board witjthere was still room to move, the terrace pool never overcrowded. The staff are what make Ventura so good. She is ageing gracefully has many loyal returning guests, I enjoyed my week immensely yet P& O have made a lot of cutbacks. Breakfast not as bountiful in the buffet but better in the ...

We had always thought about going on a cruise but had been put off by the price and also by some of the issues that I think put others off - hidden charges such as tips, excursions and the like, the perceived "stuffiness" of the clientele and possible seasickness. When we had our son however and were looking for a holiday to enjoy after the COVID-19 lockdowns, we decided to book this cruise rather ...
