Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

I was convinced to go on a cruise by my mother, who wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords and needed some help getting around as she is disabled and cannot walk more than a few steps. After checking online for a suitable cruise, I came across an impressive video on "YouTube", featuring a virtual tour of the P&O ship "Iona" which I was drawn to immediately. I managed to book a cabin with ...

Good points - the food in the a la carte restaurants was good - our cabin was nice. Beds were comfortable and shower was fine - spa is great and they only allow a few cabins to use it at a time so it does not feel crowded - shopping on the boat was great. Really good prices for things - I loved the automatic toilet doors Bad points - P&O did not tell us that it was a ...

We chose this ship because the itinerary to Scandinavia sounded interesting and not an area we had been to before. On arrival in Southampton there were horrendous queues outside the terminal and we took 2 hours to board the ship. This was not P & O's fault as there had been an accident in Southampton but why were we not allowed into the terminal so at least we had somewhere to sit. We have ...

We chose this cruise because friends who live in the USA were boarding in New York and it was an ideal opportunity to meet up with them. The QM 2 is looking really tired but one can excuse that to some extent. We made a late booking so couldn’t get the cabin of our choice but really nothing to complain about our sheltered balcony cabin, plenty of storage and a comfy bed, our housekeeper, Hugo was ...

MSC DID WELL: the nightly entertainment was excellent. Jennifer Tierney had such a powerful voice. The ship singers and dancers were superb and well choreographed. The 3 tenors performance was exceptional. The room stewards and main dining room staff worked very hard to ensure we were well looked after. The pizza in the buffet was incredible...dare I say...addictive. I have lots of new weight I ...

We chose the QM2 because husband, an engineer, wanted to experience the one and only Oceanliner. This was our first and only cruise on a Cunard ship. We actually were on the ship for 20 days—Southampton all the way to NYC. Every time we had breakfast or lunch in the buffet area it was a chaotic mess. And interestingly, we never received a survey from Cunard after completion of our cruise, so my ...

The only 2 things good about this cruise: the cabin type conservatory mini suite and the itinerary. The food at all times was substandard: midnight buffet dry crackers with cheese, restaurant options for vegan snd vegetarian little and abhorrently cooked/presented. We were forced to eat outside the cruise. Parking in the terminal chaotic and no considerations for disabled. P&o ...

We are experienced cruisers but this was our first P&O sailing. My sister uses a power chair and we were booked in to an accessible cabin. We arrived at Southampton on an Intercruises coach from Wetherby - an easy experience and would recommend. Boarding was fairly swift, but once on board we joined what could only be described as chaos. We went to our muster station, and then to our cabin. ...

I chose Aurora because it was a smallish ship and had 3 swimming pools. The crew were friendly and the entertainment very good The food was OK, but nothing like it used to be. Fewer courses and not as good. Could be due to covid changes or P&O cutting back I had a balcony cabin on D deck, Very small, Very dark, Nothing like the pictures or description. Some items missing. Would be ok if a ...

I booked a de luxe Cabin and it was Small, dark and nothing like the web site shows. With a metal balcony screen you couldn't see the sea if you sat down !!!!! Or get day light. Ruined my cruise My cabin was Worse than a standard balcony cabin. Customer Service on board and at head office we're not interested. Most times have not replied and don't care if you never cruise with them again ...
