Very sad

We chose this cruise (P&O Pacific Adventure) to be with the family and it was a short cruise. Sadly the food was really bad, we even gave the chef of the Italian restaurant cart blanche to make a meal with lots of veggies. It was more Thai than Italian and very unhealthy to eat. With very few veggies. The shows were very loud too. The dancers had great energy but sadly they killed a lot of ...

Great cruise. Port visits were fantastic. Recommend preselecting the rotational dining in the restaurants, saves the hassle of booking the restaurants once onboard. Restaurant food ok, Angelo’s being the highlight. Dragon Lady was not that good. Definitely recommend Blanc de Blanc show - worth the extra cost. Shore tours cheaper when booked direct rather than via ship. Bingo has ...

We have cruised on PO Explorer a couple of times, this is our 8th Cruise in total. PO Adventure is the worst of the lot! The menu is repetitive in the main buffet area, the desserts were a 2/10 very hit and miss. The Dragon lady restaurant that use to be our favourite ia completely different, main stream Chinese food and not unique or interesting at all. Angelo's leaves a lot to be desired. The ...

I wanted to visit Kangaroo Island and just wanted to do another cruise.Embarkation was a disaster as they had a computer glitch and all our photo ids had to be redone prior to boarding.The food was satisfactory overall but some of the complimentary restaurants like Dragon Lady and Angelo’s was very disappointing.Some of the fellow passengers cancelled their 2nd booking at these 2 places. The ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We decided to take this cruise, not only to go to the Melbourne cup but to see if cruises were to our taste. Big mistake We should have picked a cruise line where we could stomach the food and learn infinite patience in the art of queuing. The restaurants that are available and included in the fare are subpar to say the least. We ate at one of the restaurants that you pay for and found it ...

Firstly the bad. This was our 10th cruise and our first with P & O since 2013 Poor embarkation. We are in our 70's and were made to stand in queue for more than 90 minutes. We think P & O would have had enough practice to get it right by now. Our cabin toilet failed on four occasions. Thankfully it was fixed immediately. The hand wash soap in the rest rooms appears very watery. Watered down ...

I have previously cruised with Princess and Norwegian and for me, the Pacific Adventure is better. It is comfortable, relaxed, priced right and the food is generally good, though the breakfast in the Pantry is ordinary. The entertainment is generally excellent. The Marque shows are top shelf. Also tipping is included. Of course you are free to tip if you wish. I don't quite get it, that most ...

Great entertainment and parties however the food was a huge let down and the pantry concept just doesn’t work

We chose this cruise as it was a LGBTQI Pride event. We have cruised many times with various cruise lines including P&O. The entertainment, themed evening parties and events were all fantastic, and included great pool parties with an awesome DJ. The food you come to expect from a cruise was nothing short of awful. Staff in the main dining room were often rude and made you feel unwelcome. The ...

SUITE EXPERIENCE LACKING

CABIN Decided to try a 4 night test on P&O . Previously we have done 32 cruises previously on RCCL, CELEBRITY, PRINCESS etc. Suite cabin was nice (Cat: PB) midship but the suite service needs more work to elevate the experience. We only do suite class on other ships as a comparison so are comparing the offerings between lines here. Cabin attendants were average and did not have the ...

Firstly the entire crew were all wonderful helpful and caring. The food though was very disappointing. Breakfast the eggs scrambled or fried were stone cold along with bacon. Dinner and lunch at the Waterfront Restaurant had the same menu every night . The quality was not good. Dragon Lady and Angellos was the same. The only decent meal was at Lukes which we had to pay for. It was of the ...
