We have been on P&O many times but this was the worst experience that we have ever had on a cruise. It was made worse by there being no cabin available for us on arrival. Our cabin was already occupied when we tried to enter it and so we had to hang around reception for hours whilst another cabin was found. Not a great start. I had booked a deluxe balcony cabin and was expecting a little luxury. ...

Our 1st P&O cruise and possibly our only one. Ship overall is OK in terms of design and features, very tatty though in places and felt quite neglected. Only one way to describe the food, Awful, to the point we had to meet and complain with the head of department. Food in MDR was inedible and service was pretty poor too. We left after the main course on first night and didn't return as ...

We chose this cruise because it was seven nights and days in the sun. It was also to celebrate my birthday on New Years Eve. As we had sailed on Azura before we were familiar with the ship. We had requested a table for 8 for New Years Eve. We were given a table for two in a dark corner at the back of the ship. P&O were informed that this was a special birthday. No acknowledgment whatsoever. ...

After settling into our suite on December 9th we decided to go to a bar for a drink, we were a little surprised to find the only draught available was Fosters or Peroni, but as this was poolside, we thought little more of it. Later we visited Brodies Bar where the Bar Fittings showed the availability on draught of Marston’s Pedigree, Shipyard American Pale, John Smith’s Smooth, Fosters Lager, ...

Boarding was messy. No porters so had to drop our cases ourselves then queue up outside the terminal in the cold for 30mins. Cabins are only surface cleaned once a day now and no evening turndown. Our cabin had handprints on the walls, the telephone was filthy and I don’t want to think about the carpet. I have to say that there were a lot more grossly overweight, tattooed passengers who ...

It was as cheap and now I know why, , things have changed, no cruise Director, No backing orchestra, Food in buffet is like slop, limited choice, presentation like school dinners and the onboard bakery is manned by school children im sure as cakes are like amateurs efforts., very tired ship, paint peeling, cabins clean but tired., basically everything seem to be done on a reduced budget. Obvious ...

Ship in poor condition, cabins tired , buffet restaurants look like a school canteen no evidence of any ongoing maintenance. On good side main dinnerquality very good in contrast to the buffet which has poor selection, under and overcooked mains, pastries made by 6 year olds, smoothies without any taste, over crowded . P&O have been costcutting everywhere and it shows , no cruise director or ship ...
