P&O Europe Cruise Reviews

Positives: The included food was mostly good. The buffet had limited options but the menu changed daily and the food was always piping hot. The MDR food was good except for the deserts which I found very bland. The entertainment was very good particularly the Aurora orchestra and cast. The guest entertainers were above average too and we saw a different show every night of the cruise which ...

Sounded like an interesting itinerary. However, every port was pretty much like the last. Due to a booking glitch, we were unable to pre-booked most of the excursions, which were listed as "sold out" when we tried to book on-board. That was actually a good thing....as we were able to do all of the excursions when we arrived at the ports for a considerable difference in price. I have always ...

We chose based on dates, itinerary, price and P&O reputation. Our balcony cabin was roomy, comfortable and mostly well kept. It's a tired older ship, cabin carpet had some stains, the fridge barely worked and the cold water wasn't cold. The ship was crowded, it being August, and felt it at times. Reception weren't great. The main restaurant food was often good, never great, but sometimes iffy. The ...

This was our first time on P&O, having done many cruises with RC and Celebrity. We were disappointed pretty early on, to be honest. The ship in parts is very nice and modern but in other areas it's very dated and even chlostrophobic. Weird fake grass up on deck which looks cheap and when wet, stays wet for a long time. Pools too small. Cabin very dated - for a ship still relatively new I ...

So this is our 19th cruise and the 4th on p&o. 1st time on Azura and sadly it will be our last! The entertainment and ship wide facilities are good. Nice layout, good pools, plenty of loungers. So the best bits 5* for entertainment. The theatre is well equipped with amazing light and sound and the shows are excellent. Great dancing and some excellent vocals from the male lead singers and ...

I went on this cruise with my 23 year old son who is a teacher hence going in the school holidays. As it was very little extra (e like to be midships and have a proper sofa) we had a suite for the first time. The suite was great, and the bathroom especially so with a large shower and a jacuzzi bath which I overfilled with bubble bath!! However the location was not great - under the swimming ...

We have cruised with P & O before the pandemic, having been on Ventura and Azure before and really enjoyed it. We thought this time we should try their newest ship Arvia, what an amazing ship she is, a completely different experience to the other ships we have been on, both good and bad. Good. We were on deck four with an outside cabin, this is the biggest cabin we have ever been in, well ...

First cruise. Cabins are nice to be fair (balcony) Food was easy to access. Too busy at times. Variable quality (some meals poor). Drinks not unreasonably expensive. We did however have parking included (cost 80 pound off on ship spends) that we did not use due to being full. We informed staff on the ship and after 3 trips to reception they then said they would let us know if they ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary to the Mediterranean and possibility to do this in summer holiday period. We love to sail from Southampton because of its variety of destinations (last year we did cruise from Southampton to Iceland and Greenland with Princess) Embarkation same as the disembarkation went very smoothly no comments there. The fellow passengers were as you would ...

Lovely ports of call. Good service. Some staff appeared to be very overworked. On the whole good entertainment. Excellent speakers. Headliners could have been better especially the dancers. Had to ask cabin steward for bed changes. Washing machines, coffee machines, toilets all out of order. Buckets in corridor to collect water when it rained. Corrosion evident on many decks. Ship just ...
