P&O Europe Cruise Reviews

I chose this cruise after sailing on P & O Iona. The ship was nice and the food was acceptable. Unfortunately I believed the standard of the food would the same in Brittania. How wrong I was! The same pre-prepared slop was served up almost daily. There was hardly any fresh fruit and no tempting displays of any sort of food which was very repetitive. I have no criticism of my balcony cabin however ...

Chose this ship after going on Iona which was OK but Brittania is by far the worst ship I have ever had the misfortune of being on. Bad attitude from many crew members but the worst part is the food. Low quality slop served every day which is more than disappointing. If you want a nice cruise with good quality food give this ship a very wide bearth. Disgusting food every day. Tasteless desserts, ...

Chose Arvia as it was well advertised as the new state of the art cruise ship. How wrong we were. Arvia is designed to pack in as many passengers as possible while lacking the facilities and staff to look after them. The self service Horizon and Quays restaurants are permanently overcrowded with guests fighting over food and tables, the food quality and choice are equally poor. The a la ...

We have just had the worst cruise ever on the Arvia the boat is to big 5,200 passengers and not enough crew. The Cruise was more akin to having a Butlins holiday camp at sea linked with a boose cruise. Who ever designed the Atrium with the restaurants mixed with bars clearly have no idea that people in the restaurant do not want sit next to families playing cards and children screaming and ...

Food awful and you have to fight for it. All restaurants are booked via an app which wants you to eat at 5-6pm. When you actually get a table after pushing unfriendly staff- it is functional but not good. Cabin- dont bother with the bidding for an upgrade. I did and am convinced this was worse than our original cabin. We have been on a number of cruises and would never return to P&O. One ...

First and last cruise we will ever go on absolute nightmare! Greedy people rude people can I get off now ! Can’t get in any of the nicer restaurants for breakfast or dinner because all the expert sad cruisers have booked on the stupid app! This is nightmare of a system as they book and don’t turn up wasting valuable spaces ! So we have to go to the buffet ( fight club we’ve nicknamed it !) push ...

The cruise was sold as a Europe Cruise but in fact we only visited Spain. The main issue must be with the P&O can simply not cope with the number of passengers on board. The reservation system introduced for many of the facilitates and amenities is call “virtual queuing” and simply means that P&O tell you when you can come and join an actual queue. The restaurants do in fact have adequate ...

If you have cruised on any other major cruise lines, then you will be disappointed with the P & O Britrania. The Horizon buffet (Main buffet on the ship) is appalling. Limited choice, bland food and repetitive, people just walk around with an empty plate just trying to find anything they can put on their plate. The main dining room is basic food and again very repetitive. If you just want ...

Please see my Disgusting experience on the Arvia as just some of the bad examples how to make a disasterous cruise P&O should get rid of this ship as it is a disgrace to P&O name P&O Should change the name from Arvia to Butlins at Sea as it is a more suitable name for this cruise ship My Wife & I have been on lots of cruises mostly P&O and Princess we are Carnival Shareholders the main ...

If you dont have a smart phone dont go. You have to prebook everything meals entertainment etc. You queue for everything especially reception I tried phoning this took over 20mins. The food is served warm never hot and is poor quality tough meat etc.. This company is about max profits for min outlay.Not enough crew you queue for everything. Its like a floating Butlins. I would not use P&O again ...
