P&O Europe Cruise Reviews

FIRST TIME CRUISER I went with a friend , simply no good on all levels boring , flat atmosphere, rough sailing , missed stops, mykynos and skatios no compensation , late sailing by 7 hrs! no entertainment , food OK, staff miserable . Captains night waste of time . What was the point ? I didn't get why ? I can't really say I went to Greece ! What I saw was rubbish . ( because of missed ...

I don't want to waste a lot of my time writing this review, but just to say that we were with a group of people (10 in total) and we all has a lot of issues during our weeks cruise. Worst of all it was my friends wedding onboard, and many of her arrangements and our dining plans were messed up! We weren't able to sit together for dinner until the 4th night!! Even the special wedding night meal saw ...

This was my first cruise experience which I most definitely will not be repeating. Boarding at Southampton was like waiting to board a ferry, sat in the car along side the ship for an hour in an enormous queue. The cabin was in need of updating but it was clean with comfortable beds. The buffet can only be described as the equivalent of a motorway service station. Food being offered ...

I’ve been cruising before with Royal Caribbean and couldn’t wait to try out Iona. For a newly built ship, I’m surprised how tired it is already looking, but then with the hoards of families and kids abusing it every week I guess it is no surprise. I would avoid a cabin on deck 9 if you have a balcony - the promenade right outside means people can look in, especially if you have a hot tub ...

Chose this wonderful Norwegian Fjords cruise to enjoy with my mum and husband. Turned into a disastrous experience with husband suffering from food poisoning and being cabin bound for 5 days of his holiday. The response on board from restaurant manager was diabolical, no accountability being taken for making a passenger ill and denied this could even be possible. The cabin staff worked very hard ...

P & O Aurora awful This is very hard to write, considering our last cruise to Norway on Iona I gave 5 Stars as it was an amazing experience. We both had such high hopes and were so happy to be returning to P&O. However reality did not match expectations. Our trip to Germany and Belgium started going bad on the first night, when we discovered we were sleeping next door to a Rhino. Her ...

Rust in Peace Britannia 4th-18th August 2023 – Cruise B320 Experienced cruises across many lines, third cruise on Britannia The omens weren’t good when we discovered that Britannia was an hour late docking at Southampton. However, boarding was smooth and our luggage was waiting for as at our cabin, deck 10 midships, a grade HA balcony cabin. We sailed on time and at speed to outrun ...

Just returned from a 7 day cruise around Croatia from Malta. Have used P and O prior on a cruise to the Caribbean about 10 years ago but was not aware how this cruise line has fallen into decline. The balcony cabin was exactly the same as we remembered as the decor and carpets seemed the same as 10 years ago. However no complimentary bottled water in the room (you have to buy your own which I ...

We have used P&O several times before and were pleased and therefore excited to take the whole family this time. We are still in shock at the shocking deterioration since our last cruise. App did not work for restaurant bookings, they were all fully booked before we realised. Pools were emptied for repairs and too deep for smaller children No staff resulted in not everything being open ...

I booked this cruise in haste after having to cancel a similar itinerary on a smaller ship. When I realised the size of Arvia, I tried to change to another P&O smaller ship, but it was too late. I feared the worst, and, boy, was I right! This ship is a disgrace - Embarkation, endless queues, but not as bad as I had feared, cabin OK, balcony at the front of the ship - But ...
