I was a bit worried after our recent experience with Holland America, but thankfully P&O haven't let standards slip too far trying to make up some money after not being able to sail during lockdowns. Sure, there were a few "fee only" items, and some things on the menu that you paid for in the complimentary restaurants, but on the whole everything was roughly the same as before. The food was ...

Terrible shore tour arrangement and horrible food(complimentary one)

The ship was very outdated with tear and wear. Pretty much like a motel standard (mini suite). It had an engine failure and cause huge change of the itinerary. They did not get prepared for hundreds if not thousands of passengers changing the shore excursions booked before their announcement. The machine only allowed booking one adult at a time (did not tell you when you book it) eventually ...

We choose this cruise because it fitted into the school holidays as my husband is a teacher. We had never been to South Australia and thought this was a good way to get a taste. We found all the online Covid requirements weren't required. On embarkation we were asked if we had taken a test but not asked for proof of a negative test. Masks were recommended. First couple of days about 50% of ...

A Bad First Cruise Experience

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My partner and I have never cruised, so we thought we would test the waters (pun intended) on a 3-day comedy cruise on the pacific explorer. As we had completed the VeriFly app, embarkation was relatively quick and painless. The balcony room we booked was very small and outdated. The temperature outside was 37 degrees and the room's air conditioning was really struggling to keep up (more ...

P and O Worse Cruise Ever

We decided that because we had lost 4 people close to us in early 2022 that we would take a relaxing cruise to put such a challenging year behind us. It also meant that we would not have to worry about getting Christmas dinner and could just sit back and enjoy the festivities of Christmas. The cabins are very tired, marked and in need of refurbishment. The staff do not listen to your requests ...

We chose this trip based on the videos, advertising and the website hype. First trip away from family at Christmas Time. We are mature age couple. We have sailed P&O before as well as Royal Caribbean. We want to be fair doing this review as sometimes a negative review is too powerful and outweighs the positives. 1. Embarkation was slow and no identification of lines to go to as we had VIP ...

Fantastic Crew - A Shame About the Ship & Lack of Interesting Activities

Although the crew were fantastic, the ship is in poor form. It really is rough around the edges which is interesting since P&O had 2 years to sort it. Parts of the ship decks inside and outside stink of a sewerage or waste type odour. Since sailing on the Pacific Sun, Jewel, Pearl & Aria, there is a substantial lack of activities - unless you are interested in bingo and trivia every 3 hours. ...

Embarking. 2 hours to get on ship were greeted handouts to get wifi, photo studio information and spa deals! I dont remember any other staff with a welcome aboard hello. This was 4th cruise with P&O and will be our last. We requested early dining thinking it would be about 5.45 to 6.00 but we were booked in at 5.15 every day we did request a later sitting and was refused so we couldn't take ...

There were some good and some bad aspects to the cruise experience, overall P&O are providing a service and product reflective of their expected or anticipated guests and not aiming at 5 star levels for any of their services and price point. The SHIP - overall liked the ship and the facilities generally provided onboard, much better and more cosy than the Allure of the Seas - mega ship, the ...

We chose this trip Because we love country music and it was a country cruise experience. Acts that were supposed to appear did not. I had been on 9 cruises prior to this and I had never experienced such a ruder and unaccommodating crew. The cabin was filthy from the prior guests and the cabin door did not close properly. Two mornings in a row we had strangers walk in our room and drawers full of ...
