Second time with P&O. Went with my mother in June on Aurora. This time with my husband on Azura, what an amazing ship. Our cabin (although not reserved) was fantastic and very spacious, the queen size bed wonderful. We were in E603 mid aft, no noise except the air con. Partially obstructed by lifeboat but that didnt bother us. The ship was very well maintained and our cabin steward excellent at keeping it clean and tidy (think she changed the sheets everyday). Although we were on the early sitting for dinner, we were still not out of the dining room in time for the early show (7.30) so ended up going to the 9pm one. Think P&O should move their show times to perhaps 8.30 and 10.30 to allow first sitting diners to go to early show. Unfortunately, we found the theatre shows by Headliners very disappointing. There were loud with light effects over used, and the last show Evolution was the worst, I believe there was supposed to be a story line, but really couldnt make sense of it all. The 4 Tunes and Comedian John Evans were brilliant and their expertise was reflected in the audience reaction. There was always lots to enjoy during the eveings and sea days on the ship, from quizzes to dance classes and movies on the seascreen.

This was a a cruise to Norway in July and the weather was very kind to us. The scenery is amazing. We did all Tourist board trips as cheaper than P&O. You just need to make your way to the Tourist Board office in port and ask whats available.

The waiters in the Oriental Restaurant were very attentive and the food was excellent with plenty of choice for all palettes. We had a bottle of wine every two nights which was £15.95 a bottle cheaper than the package on offer. Read more
