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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Well Azura delivered again. Flights, transfers perfect. Flew with Jet2 on the brand new 321neo out from Manchester flight was 6:55AM lovely aircraft and great crew. Night before since this was a scheduled flight we were able to check the luggage in the night before then in the morning go straight to security. Next year we fly with TUI to join the ship and its a shame we are not able to do this it ...
N399 Ventura - Spain, France and Portugal.
Wow, I would like to start this review by saying wow, what an amazing experience for our first cruise!
Positives
- The most loveliest staff and crew you will ever meet.
- Although an older cruise ship, very clean, tidy and lots of facilities.
- Really easy embarkation and disembarkation process at all ports.
- Lots of choice when it ...
We chose this cruise as a late deal booking 3 weeks beforehand. 5 day break to Le Havre & Rotterdam
We usually book a suite but due to late booking sold out so we opted for a superior deluxe balcony cabin. This is aft. Very spacious. We didn’t feel too much motion which I was surprised about. The only issue for some may be the Havana club is right above the room and could hear the music going ...
Travelled 9th to 19th September 2023 (couple aged mid 50s)
Having read some of the very poor reviews a few months before our trip, my partner and I were a little anxious that it would not meet our expectations - especially having cruised with other companies before. This was our first P&O experience so they had a lot to live up to.
What can I say except we have just returned home after ...
Wow just wow, first time cruising so did not know what to expect. This ship and especially the staff exceeded all our expectations!! Firstly the staff greeting you onboard so friendly cases dropped 10 minutes we were on deck 15 having lunch, the rooms beautiful we had a balcony. The food was so lovely fine dining every night and loved the cream tea every day. We saw some great shows, sport ...
I have only one gripe and that is the arrival time in Malta.
I particularly wanted to visit Malta because I lived there as a small child but the late arrival time of 5pm ( we actually boarded at 8 pm but that was out of P&Os hands) from Gatwick meant we would arrive and sail very shortly afterwards.
People who flew from Bristol & Manchester arrived at 11am allowing them to leave the ship and ...
