Cruise for Christmas! Sounds lovely right
Except for bacon found in a vegan meal. Plastic found in the buffet tikka masala and rude receptionists who get defensive when you tell them something is wrong rather than helping and then ignore you until you go away. A virtual queuing system that doesn’t work despite the receptionists and restaurant staff swearing by it. All the specialty restaurants ...
We chose this cruise because it was outside of school holidays and it went to some places we had not been to on other cruises. We started in Valetta, did a week in the eastern Med then back to Valetta, we then stayed on and went to Palma, Gibraltar and then onto the Canaries.
We usually prefer adult only ships and smaller ships, to date this was the biggest ship we had been on.

We booked a week cruise around Corsica & Italy, followed by 4 days at the AX Palace in Malta with P&O in Sept 2022.
By now formal Covid testing was not compulsory, and we duly did our home test kits, (negative), filled in our declarations & off we went. We chose P&O as we'd been on the Britannia in the past, and knew we could expect great service etc.
We had booked an inside cabin to cut ...

We liked the ports of call Lisbon, Cadiz. Barcelona, Ibitha and Gibralter as some we had never been to before.
Embarkation was fast and well organised, the ship was beautiful, very clean and staff very helpful. been on lots of other cruises waiting staff good but never smiled, they were from india and pakistan area. Food good with plenty of choice, never had to queue at any meals.

We chose this cruise as it looked like it would be relaxing with a some interesting ports and it did't disappoint, embarkation at Southampton was well organised and stress free, enjoyed the sea days relaxing and although the ship was full we could always find a lounger, the ship is well laid out and easy to navigate and is well maintained with modern decor & furniture. We really enjoyed the ...
We are just back from one of the best cruises we have had on the beautiful Azura.
Fantastic from the moment we pulled up in the car portside and had our bags efficiently whisked away to and the smiling check in ladies and gents.
Our cabin was available immediately and our bags were there before we were, and it only took us 20 minutes to board!
Our cabin was immaculate, and bright and ...
Travelled as a family to Norway for the first time. Also first time on Azura. We arrived earlier than our embarkation time and did not have to wait long in departures to get on the ship. We chose a balcony cabin on deck C because of the larger balcony and it was brilliant. We found the cabin big enough for a week with a teenager in tow, lots of storage. Our cabin steward was lovely and very ...
We have cruised twice before with Princess and Royal Caribbean and decided to give P&O a chance.
We had heard that P&O were more formal than many other cruise lines but found that this was not the case.
Apologies if this review isn't 'professional' as this is the first review I have written for anything.
The motivation for this really stems from reading some negative reviews this year on ...
I chose this cruise specifically for the destinations. I only found out after booking this cruise that it was a Strictly come dancing cruise. What a bonus!
11 of us travelled down in 3 cars. Upon arrival our luggage was taken from us by efficient and friendly attendants who then drove away and parked the cars for the duration of the 2 weeks holiday. Easy and stress free and well worth the ...
