P&O Caribbean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

We had already cruised the Caribbean on 2 previous occasions but with Princess Cruises. We wanted to return to this destination for a third time as it is so beautiful and we chose P&O as they were offering a good rate. We got off to a poor start. Arriving at Bridgetown Cruise Terminal we had to stay on board our hot and stuffy coach for 2 hours while the ship was turned round due to a broken ...

Ship has some design flaws! Loved the decor everywhere and the many more choices of where to eat within the cost of the holiday. Liked the water fountains built in, great idea. Bathrooms were designed better than the Azura (with shower curtains!) and the Britannia. The balconies on deck 8 were horrendous though! We paid £1000 more on a saver fare to have a balcony between the two of us. We always ...

The ship, crew and staff were lovely, however there were a few niggles for us, nothing to spoil the experience but enough to take some of the shine off. Our cabin was lovely, plenty of storage and a lovely cabin steward. The availability of sun loungers was an issue, but again if one improvised it wasn’t too much of a problem. The food was very well cooked and presented but unless you’re ...

So, let do an honest review with some suggestions. To the positives: boarding - very smooth process, straight off plane, out back gate of airport to ship, into reception area and on ship within 10 minutes. Key cards to cabin are outside of cabin. Really good system Cabin - balcony, good size, very clean, no complaints Food - Good selecion, English Breakfast is amazing as are other meals, ...

The cruise didn’t get off to the best of starts. Ventura had returned late from its re-fit in Hamburg which may explain why around 500 of us were kept outside in the cold for 90 minutes before being allowed inside the terminal to check in. I say ‘may’ because nobody at P&O thought to give a reason, let alone an apology. Or perhaps it was due to the fact that hundreds of new crew members also ...

Ventura, S/hampton - S/hampton, 2nd March - 5th. April 2023, 35nts. This is officially the worst cruise I've ever been on. The embarkation process was complete chaos, and lasted most of the day. Despite P&O demanding that passengers self administer a Covid test & photograph results with date/time etc, this evidence was not requested or scrutinised at check-in. There were numerous incidences ...

The food was raw Our cabin got flooded out we paid a extra £2500 for that room so they moved us to a different room what had a big overhang above it so no sun and they wouldn’t even reimburse the £2500 I paid to pick the room we paid £12500 for the cruise Very few staff could speak English No trays or cups in the buffet Boat smells full of rust Cabin was discussing smelt of ...
