P&O Cruise Reviews

Picked this cruise because we got a great price deal. We have cruised with several other lines before, but never with P&O. Boarding the Iona at Southampton was very well organised with plenty of staff and took a little over 30 minutes from entering the hall to getting on the ship. All good here. First impressions of the ships Atrium area was, it was not as glamourous as some other ships we have ...

So, let do an honest review with some suggestions. To the positives: boarding - very smooth process, straight off plane, out back gate of airport to ship, into reception area and on ship within 10 minutes. Key cards to cabin are outside of cabin. Really good system Cabin - balcony, good size, very clean, no complaints Food - Good selecion, English Breakfast is amazing as are other meals, ...

Lovely ship which is quite compact put alongside the bigger more modern ones. The boarding at the start was seamless and the extended balcony cabin on deck 9 was very roomy. The staff were excellent in all departments on service level and the food was of good quality. The ship is let down badly by the Buffett restaurant which is not fit for purpose. The serving area is far too small for the number ...

After reading some of the negative reviews we were a little worried but our concerns were unfounded. I really dont know what people complain about. Having cruised over 20 times on various different cruise lines i think i am well placed to comment on both the ship and the service provided. I admit that P&O have cut back in some areas eg. Perhaps not quite so much selection on the menu in main ...

I was worried going on this cruise because of the bad reviews. My advice after cruising on her - ignore them. The ship is beautifully designed - very light everywhere. I was super organised before I left - booking what I could on the ‘app’ and made sure that the very first thing I did when I got on was to book everything else. MDR bookings for the whole cruise could be made by asking the ...

After having a great cruise on Aurora last summer, we thought we’d try the new Iona. I must admit, the big ships are not for us. Although very clean and “modern” there is just no character, and we found ourselves, and others, calling her “insipid” “soulless” and “lacking in character” but many will like it, mainly those who are new to cruising. We were upgraded to a balcony, which was nice, ...

We booked this cruise about 9 months ago, my partner has to take most of her holidays during school holidays due to her job, we want something for February half term, this was available so booked it, we booked a large inside cabin on a select fare as it was cheaper and also a good amount of OBC. About two months ago, we were given an extra £200 of OBC (like all others I believe) and then about ...

We have been cruising for years and have had 2 previous cruises with P&O which were very good. Not this time - P&O are turning into Butlins! Iona is a beautiful ship, our cabin on Deck 10 was well equipped, clean and modern and John the steward was lovely. We were happy with the itinerary and we even had decent weather for February. The ship was fully booked with many families and children on ...

We booked as a late 50th for me and a first cruise for my partner - a PF grade on a select about 8 months out. It was more about seeing what she would think of a longer time at sea - she's done a fair bit of minicruising and this was my 4th cruise but first Oceanic. Booking and the Flycruise element - easy but for some reason I couldn't select a cabin, even in an upgradeable fare class. Not ...

We were on this cruise to meet a friend for his 60th birthday. We have been on many different Caribbean cruises with other companies and this was our first (and will be our last) experience with P&O. On the positive side, the organisation around flight departures and transfers was excellent and there unfortunately the good news ends. Our first impression on boarding the ship was one of size ...
