P&O Barbados Cruise Reviews

We picked P&O because we had travelled with them before, but never again. My mobile phone was broken during boarding after being told to put it on the belt after I had put everything else in the tray to go through the scanner it got tangled in the rollers and smashed on to the floor . I found plastic in my food in 6 th street diner. which shows the food is not cooked fresh on board Plus ...

The flight over to Barbados with Maleth airlines was terrible uncomfortable seats food disgusting a main course no starter or desert 1 drink on the 9 hour flight apparently they had run out !! The toilets were not cleaned once during the journey. The flight back was slightly better regarding food but still very uncomfortable. Having cruised with P and O twice over the years and been very ...

This was our 6th cruise and 6th cruise line. We booked it because the ship (Arvia) was new (and large), but primarily because the itinerary visited a few places we had not been to before. Overall I would rate this as 3.5 out of 5. The itinerary was 14 days from Bridgetown, Barbados visiting Road Town, Tortola BVI La Romana, Dominican Republic Philipsburg, St. Maarten St. John’s, ...

Just returned from the latest two week booze cruise around the Caribbean. Arvia is a magnificent ship and a cut above Iona, but it is a great tragedy that it is playing host to the type of people who should not be within a continent of it. As a result it is already showing signs of wear - with P&O infamous for cutting costs to the bone any non-essential system on the ship that breaks is ignored. ...

We often Cruise but have not been with P & O since Covid. Our flights and reception at Barbados were not good. Kept waiting far too long on plane in Barbados then fairly chaotic transport to ship,. Suitcases so bashed we had to replace one on return. The plane had no entertainment on board. Our cabin was lovely but we found most of the on board public areas felt stark like the inside of a ...

This was a family holiday for my husband's 60th birthday. The farce started even before we set sail when they delayed the ship coming over from the Mediterranean by 2 weeks, which meant we weren't on holiday for my husband's birthday, which was really annoying. I had booked seats on the flights each way through the P&O site and I had to book and pay for a seat for my 7 month old grandson. I ...

In general the ship, staff and cruise destinations were good. Cabin was a standard with balcony which was ideal. Food and restaurants were of a very high standard. The Horizon buffet on deck 16 could be a bit of a free for all when busy. It felt like some other people could do with some manners, however apart from that no real complaints. Mind you there could be more water fountains to ...

Tl;dr: Britannia is the ship for people who want the cruise experience while forgetting they're on a ship; beautifully decorated but strangely designed and lacking the service level you'd expect if you've previously sailed with P&O (though I want to believe this is due to specific problems P&O are currently facing which will be resolved in time). The flight to Barbados and embarkation process ...

Arvia is a fabulous ship with amazing staff , please do not listen to the constant moans & groans from the reviews . The price you are paying for a 2 week break on this brilliant ship is far less than you will pay with any other cruise line , stop with the negatives p&o do not deserve them Food in the main dining room was fine no complaints as was the food in the quays, keel & cow was ...

This was a last minute grabbed bargain to holiday on a new and very large cruise liner. We were not disappointed. Arvia is a lovely ship with a large number of bars and dining areas. We had a balcony cabin on deck 10 towards the front of the ship. The cabin although perhaps smaller than those we are familiar with, but adequate. Our main complaint was the noise of the toilets being flushed in the ...
