P&O Europe Cruise Reviews

Our first cruise , amazing experience , excellent service , very clean and all staff couldn’t help enough. Fly cruise to the Caribbean. Prepaid excursions were well worth the money with excellent guides on the day. Unfortunately due to weather , one port stop had to be cancelled and P and O refunded the cost straight away . We upgraded to an outside cabin with balcony which was a blessing as the ...

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 ...

We have been cruising now for many years and in that time have encountered many events at sea. When choosing a cruise in November from Southampton it is likely we will experience some inclement weather ( it is Autumn/Winter after all ). Storm Ciaran was one such event that kept us in port ( and safe ) for 2 extra days thus impacting the remainder of the trip and missing 3 ports. However, as a ...

Better late than never to write this up... When booking the annual holiday we opted for cruise number five. This would see a couple of firsts in that it was the first time we had revisited a ship and the first time we visited a couple of ports we had been to before. Right from the get-go we had a self inflicted issue in that we booked a cabin that had a connecting door. We phoned up and ...

Cruising back to Barbados after a long stay in the UK is a wonderful way to relax after a hectic visit. Arvia is a beautiful ship. The design and finishes are superb - modern and stylish but not too glitzy in the way that some cruise ships become an assault on the senses. The quality of the food, entertainment and service on board was really good and the value for money was incredible. The ...

This was our first cruise on one of the larger cruise ships and we were both a little apprehensive despite the fact that I had been on the ship lots of times as part of the Intercruises disability team. This did give me the advantage of knowing my way around and what the cabins were like etc. we both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and have already booked to go back on IONA next ...

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. Boarding We ...

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 ...
