As always I start my reviews with - this is my viewpoint on my holiday, others will no doubt have had a completely different experience and disagree with what follows.
Sadly Arvia does not have the wow factor for me.
In my opinion the focal point of any cruise ship is the central Atrium - Arvia's is very ordinary and plain - granted it's very spacious with a flowing staircase but simply ...
My wife and I cruised on Iona last summer and apart from the poor service in the bars and main dining rooms due to a lack of staff we were very impressed. We found a big improvement in service this time in what turned out to be a very eventful cruise to Northern Europe. We had a fire in the Atrium on the day of boarding after a battery on a mobile scooter exploded and caught fire in a very ...
Great guy smashing jokes really topped the cruise off. A special mention to vocal xtr3me and sherwin
Loved it highly recommend
Buffet was alright busy at times.
Gusto the room guy was funny and made some
Nice animals in the room from towels
Leon’s singing at the sail away party was the highlight of my holiday
Restaurant food was nice and service was good ...
Never been to amsterdam, p&o cruise seemed vfm way to spend 2 days in Amsterdam with no flying straight out of Southampton, enjoying quality food accommodation and entertainment. House band Pulse great as ever. Whitney tribute singer amazing.
Overall slightly prefer Britania we did 14 nights on to Scandinavia eaarlier in year, bit these are small niggles as unlike Ventura Britania does not ...
I booked this as we wanted to visit Amsterdam and I thought it was a good way to combine that with a mini-break.
It was booked in July and once confirmed we checked the websites of the places we wanted to visit and booked tickets as soon as we were able. Anne Frank house opens bookings on a specific day 6 weeks in advance so we made sure we knew when that would be so as not to miss out. If ...
We are a pair of sisters in our 20s, and this was our first-time cruising in several years. We had a very pleasant two-week break cruising from Southampton to Spain.
Room
We had a Standard Balcony cabin on deck 9. Originally, we were placed in a room on deck 8, which after looking at deck plans, we realised was directly on the promenade and overlooked the whirlpools and sunbeds. ...
2nd P&O cruise for myself and my partner. We had a fantastic time visiting some great locations and met some lovely folk during our time on Azura.
Embarkation was pretty smooth, had to wait a little while on luggage being delivered to cabin but not a major issue. We had an inside cabin which was spotless. The cabin steward was lovely and did a fantastic job.
Food - we loved The Glass ...
we have just returned from a cruise on the azura along the croation coast flying from malta,we went with another couple ,the cruise on the azura & with p & o was very good & i dont understand a lot of the negative reviews i looked at before we left.
ok a few small issues like the buffet being crowded at times,which it will be because you have over 3000 people on board.
the balcony cabin ...
We like the smaller ships and particularly Aurora. We had wonderful calm seas for 16 days and then a Force 10 storm with high seas and missed Gibraltar as it was closed. We had already had Rhodes cancelled 6 months before the cruise and replaced with Messina, where we have been many times.
The food in the main dining room seemed to be always roast this and roast that, along with 3 veggie ...
This is my second time on Azura, but the first time I have been on her at capacity. Found it a bit dauntingly busy in places but the staff really tried their very best to keep up with busy bars and dining rooms.
Dining - A shame the app wasn't being used in my opinion. Instead quite a lot of queues and buzzers for the Main Dining rooms. The staff were clearly under enormous pressure. Breakfast ...
