P&O Europe - River Cruise Reviews

I chose this cruise as it was at the right price and offered a chance of some sun before the onset of winter. Embarkation was very efficient and no delays from port arrival until boarding Ventura. I requested Club dining on first sitting but was allocated freedom dining of which I dislike but I paid the Saver fare rather than Select so no complaints. For me I always prefer to have the ...

This is my 100% honest and unbiased review. I was on Arvia, I had a good time overall but I felt it was lacking in some areas and plagued with problems in other areas. Full disclosure that whilst onboard I got very frustrated with passengers and crew at times, but I still booked another holiday with P&O next year. I am 39 years old and my wife is the same age and we have a 4 year old ...

I was going to sail on Cunard on a similar itinerary but wanted something less formal. Boarding was not great. I arrived early and despite there being no queues to board at that time, they made me wait for 2 hours, so not a good start. My cabin was great and huge but there was mildew on the tiles in the bathroom, something that can be easily cleaned, right P&O?? I chose the relaxed dining but ...

Last sailed on Britannia a couple of years ago (post pandemic) and was expecting something similar. Oh no. First the good - embarkation was smooth. The cabin (deluxe balcony) was spacious, comfortable and clean. Balcony was a good size. Room steward was polite and very helpful. Excursions and free shuttle buses were well organised (and free shuttle buses were plentiful). The ok - food was ...

I'm not a great cruise expert, given this is my second cruise and had my first one about 20 years ago. We've chosen this cruise because we wanted to enjoy some summer time on sea and couldn't do a longer cruise to the Canary Islands. We were expecting a 5 star experience but overall it was a mixed bag. Embarkation was tedious but smooth: long queues at the terminal to leave the car and ...

Having cruised many times with P & O I was very disappointed with this cruise. Whilst I don't need my bed turned down, I would like the stewards to check if you need clean towels, they only come once a day now. Two restaurants were shut and the library due to lack of staff. They need to overhaul the shopping on board and cater for the clientele they have now who don't want really expensive ...

Everything average. Buffet very disappointing. Not much variety and could be hotter. More Like a works canteen. Staff always pleasant and cannot be faulted but P&O cannot hide the fact that they are trying to get back the financial loss due to COVID. Internet access £ 90 !! on some lines it is free. I don't know how they can justify that. Enjoyable cruise but P&O can't hide the fact ...

Love this ship and have cruised on her pre Covid. Have also travelled twice on Iona post Covid. There are several things all these cruises have in common, the reasons given are the Covid effect, which no longer makes any sense. The staff are still wonderful, albeit none of them looked particularly happy, possibly due to many of them having been seconded from a previously cancelled cruise on ...

In the past we have sailed on P&O cruises through recommendation, Our first, on the Oriana was excellent, the next time, it was good, lots of cutbacks, ie. silver service in restaurant, food selection in buffet resturants, and dining rooms. This last P&O cruise on the Azura was a real disappointment, on the first night in the restaurant, the gentleman next to me asked the waiter for an extra scoop ...

This was our first cruise with P&O and we had both good and bad experiences. We would try P&O again but I think the experience we had this time was not the best. Positives Ship was excellent, really good condition. We loved the Metropolis and Tamarind bars. Evening dining was good considering the number of people they have to serve. Service was efficient but not particularly friendly. ...
