We have just returned from a cruise on P&O Ventura to the Caribbean and had a great time.
We flew from Manchester and all passengers were on our cruise which meant that we never had to go through customs or collect our cases in Barbados and we were transferred to a coach as soon as we landed. Check in and boarding Ventura was very quick and efficient and our baggage arrived in our cabin shortly afterward we boarded the ship.
The ship was bigger than on our previous cruises but we did not find this to be a problem once we had found and remembered our way around and if anything we preferred the larger ship.
Towards the front of ship and felt more movement than in the middle of the ship but this was quite pleasant when sleeping and relaxing. Cabin very good size with separate dressing area and a good size balcony.
