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 ...

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 ...

We are fortunate to have been on quite a few cruises this year and feel that the Ventura is starting to show its age and we feel it is urgently in need of an upgrade. There are still a lot of positives about cruising on the Ventura. The meals in the mdr restaurants were on the whole very good but we do feel that there is less choice, saying that we always found something that we could order ...

I don’t know where to start! I shall endeavor to keep this review as short as possible. I suspect that P&O are desperately trying to recoup some of their losses caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and hence I believe they have downgraded the whole cruising experience in order to save money. Key points as below, not in any particular order: 1. There is no afternoon tea in any of the main dining ...

Ventura - Awful. Standards dropping and Covid Protocols severely lacking

We returned from this 14 night Canaries cruise on 1st October. It was truly awful. We travelled to Southampton by coach with Intercruises. What a shambles. Coaches were pulling into Trowell services with no indication where they were going. We asked one coach driver if he knew when the coach for Ventura was expected to which he rudely replied that he wasn’t on duty. Eventually two arrived late, ...
