This was my first cruise, I originally booked as a solo traveller but a friend asked to join me, I booked directly with P&O so changing my booking was really easy. From start to finish the trip was well organised, P&O sent regular updates and lots of pre-cruise information. The food was great, with lots of variety, the entertainment was varied and to a good standard and the crew were awesome, in ...
everything was great , food, service ,entertainment . embarking azura was very smooth and we were soon onboard. the staff looked after our main luggage from the transfer coach and it duly arrived at our cabin quickly . in the evening we decided to use the anytime dinning option as we wanted a table for two and were looked after by waiters john and arnold who couldn't do enough for us .the food ...
Please dismiss the ' moaners and groaners ' reviews, they are totally out of order.
Jet2 P&O charter flight from Manchester was good, on arrival in Tenerife one does need to collect luggage, and it's a short walk to the coach, it then arrives in your cabin very quickly. Coach transfer around 45 minutes, embarkation very quick we were on the ship within 5 minutes. ( For a very special treat ...
This was our 19th cruise having previously sailed with several lines including Celebrity, NCL and Disney. We have also sailed on P&O Ventura and Aurora, this time we were looking for a “replacement” holiday as we could no longer go to Disneyworld due to a back injury. The timings for a cruise on Arvia were perfect and P&O cruises are great value so we decided to take the plunge.

After cruising on Azura in January (excellent), I was excited to be on the PandO latest and she didn't disappoint. I didn't notice the more than 5,000 other passengers (we were fully loaded) but I'm glad I learnt from my January experience to pre-book EVERYTHING we wanted to do as soon as bookings opened. I am a planner by nature so this was great for me! We were worried about our cabin as we ...
Well Azura delivered again. Flights, transfers perfect. Flew with Jet2 on the brand new 321neo out from Manchester flight was 6:55AM lovely aircraft and great crew. Night before since this was a scheduled flight we were able to check the luggage in the night before then in the morning go straight to security. Next year we fly with TUI to join the ship and its a shame we are not able to do this it ...
Firstly Embarkation
My Daughter dropped us off in Southampton, The car park to the cabin was 30 minutes it was painless and well organized, and plenty of staff on hand to help.
Our cabin was a deluxe balcony right at the front of the ship and was clean and comfortable, its only drawback was a push-open door rather than a sliding door which was heavy to operate and had to be jammed open if ...
Thank you to P& O Britannia. We have wanted to visit the Canary islands and Madeira for a while. This cruise fulfilled our expectations. We have sailed to the Caribbean before on Britannia a few years ago and wondered if the standards had slipped, due to some of the negative reviews. You need not fear, our experience was delightful. I am amazed at how some people can moan so much when we were on ...
Before heading off on this cruise I read so many negative reviews of Ventura and it made me very worried about what we were likely to experience. I needn't have worried! My husband and I had an amazing time from the moment we stepped on board. Yes, the ship is older than many others and lacks the bells and whistles that the latest ships can boast, but it's still clean, attractive, and offers ...
Chose P&O for the ease of using GBP on board and no need for socket adapters. I had select price including coach travel to Southampton. This worked well but several coaches arrived at once due to traffic so embarkation meant a long queue. Once on board straight to my inside cabin on deck 15. . Deck 15 was handy as only one deck up to the skydive and Horizon buffet so no need to use the busy ...
