Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Aurora

I chose this cruise as I liked the itinerary. I was dubious about going on the Aurora, but the fact that it was Adult Only helped seal the deal and the price was right. Why was I dubious about the Aurora? This was my 3rd trip on her, my first being in 2019 just before the pandemic. My experience then was great. Good ship, lovely crew, good service and great food choices. Having experienced ...

Not a patch on Britannia, which is a shame.

We were excited for our cruise, it was going to 9 destinations and 8 we had never been to before. We are not new to cruising so knew what to expect on a well detailed and organised cruise. The Ship is fine in itself, if a little tired in places. The Captain was brilliant, he was from Derbyshire and made every announcement funny, but informative. Catering needs some serious work, and I mean ...

Disappointing experience

I have cruised with P&O before., but never on the Azura. We arrived late due to our charter flight delay. The dining rooms were closed. The buffet restaurant was only partially open so the queues were long and tiring with a limited choice. Not the best introduction to Azura. I felt the ship was tired and lacked sparkle. Service was mediocre. Entertainment bland and quite amateurish at some ...

Due to family connections Malta is a regular destination for us. So a cruise around the med sailing from Malta meant we could combine 2 trips together. The boarding process was well organised and straight forward. The Azura is an older P &O ship and is showing signs of age. The cabin was clean and tidy and staff very helpful. We were in a forward cabin and the allocated restaurant was at the very ...

No fly from southampton appealed to me. Embarkment and coach transvers very good. Front line staff (waiters restaurants / buffets) all bar staff. Very professional with overall good service. Inside cabin very clean with good attendant. Food in complementary restaurants poor. Food in the buffet very good with quality meats etc. First 3 days at sea just piped music no live entertainment ...

Overall a disappointing experience. It doesn’t help to have seen the ‘salami slicing’ cost saving measures affect the quality of the cruise each year, having cruised with P&O ships mainly for over 20 years. The ship is rather tired and though the cabin size and layout (superior balcony) is good, it needs a refurb. Doesn’t help that we’re not told the times of flights before choosing an airport. ...

This was my 4th cruise and the most expensive. I had high hopes for this one. I've done cruises on MSC, Costa and Norwegian. I was really excited to do a classy cruise, dressing up, nice meals, exciting sea days. We even had a mini balcony suite which was gorgeous. The cruise was Italy and Croatia. The weather wasn't the best, so the ships entertainment was very much needed and this is where ...

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 ...

Retirement cruise. We had saved for this and were so disappointed at the level of decline. We have only ever cruised with P&O and ALL previous cruises have been fantastic. This one however was NOT. The cabin was not cleaned to a very good standard. No evening turndown now. The restaurant staff seem like they don’t want to be there and the food was really disappointing. Portions were ...
