While not expecting much in the destinations i.e. Amsterdam and Le Havre we got an exceptionally good value deal in deluxe balcony cabin and wanted to see the Azura as other cruisers we have met in the last few years have given it great reviews.They were correct as she is spacious and public areas well planned and very comfortable.Meals were always of high standard and to the British taste ,the buffet though fine for breakfast was a bit boring at lunch time.Because we were stuck in Amsterdam and then were locked out of Le Havre due to a lightning strike by French dock workers ,it meant the buffet area was exceptionally busy and felt over crowded.The staff worked tirelessly and with a smile on their faces?

Evening shows were very good and particularly enjoyed the Blue Jays and the comedian Mike Doyle.Drinks on P&O are very reasonable compared to other lines so that's a bonus.

We were allocated a balcony suite near the stern which was a bit noisy at times but the bed was so comfortable we slept really well.This cabin came with full bathroom including bath tub!! Read more
