Service was terrible on this cruise and will seriously consider long and hard before booking with P&O again we have cruised multiple times now and not always with P&O so I know a bit of what I am talking about when it comes to service and what to expect, what I dont expect from service is waiters serving food across you, having to ask for water at the table , food wasn’t great at the main dining ...
Having just returned from our Caribbean cruise on p&o Arvia and having cruised more than 30 times .i have to congratulate p&o on reducing their standards to little above the average holiday camp .very poor service at all the bars staff that aren’t properly trained to handle the simplest of requests.4 times we had to ask for water in the cabin .my best friend was waved away from 3 different bars ...
It pains me to write this review, as we were so excited for 10 months for this holiday. We have been on P&O 3 other times and they were acceptable or even good experiences. Sadly this was our worst, and probably our last cruise (most definitely our last one ever with P&O).
For context we work in hospitality, so we really understand and value the hard work that goes into delivering good service, ...
Well where do i start. When you say i am going on a cruise to the Caribean most people will say !WOW! Unfortunatly it was not!! The ship handles well the capacity except when it comes to the sun beds!! What a joke, i was on a holiday and not prepared to argue or wake up every morning at 6 so i could have a sunbed (very poor managment if you see any).
The food was between school diners and some ...
We often Cruise but have not been with P & O since Covid.
Our flights and reception at Barbados were not good. Kept waiting far too long on plane in Barbados then fairly chaotic transport to ship,. Suitcases so bashed we had to replace one on return. The plane had no entertainment on board.
Our cabin was lovely but we found most of the on board public areas felt stark like the inside of a ...
This was a family holiday for my husband's 60th birthday. The farce started even before we set sail when they delayed the ship coming over from the Mediterranean by 2 weeks, which meant we weren't on holiday for my husband's birthday, which was really annoying. I had booked seats on the flights each way through the P&O site and I had to book and pay for a seat for my 7 month old grandson. I ...
We wanted a quick getaway to celebrate the end of university and to try out the new ship. This is my 14th cruise and my 4th with P&O.
The good:
Embarkation:
Excellent.
Cabin:
Cabin was generally quiet, small but adequate. We found the previous guests’ stash of Pringles, biscuits and cakes which was somewhat disconcerting considering how fast germs and viruses spread on a ship. ...
Have cruised last few years with P&O no complaints until now. As previously stated it’s more like Butlins than a cruise ship. We booked our usual, cabin with balcony and freedom dining which we were told we had. However we found that all bookings for everything are through their app , consequently with over 5000 people every thing was booked up. situation was we were told that we would have to ...
My wife and I love cruising. We live in South Florida and have cruised all over the world. Europe is our favorite area to sail. It would be our first time on P&O and I specifically selected this ship for the destinations and the newness of the ship.
The Cabin:
Excellent in every way. 5 Stars. Our was was a delight. Spacious with good sized bathroom. In-room entertainment fabulous. I would ...
Never sailed with P & O before and never will again.
Picked this cruise due to elderly parents coming with us and my disabled son so felt it would easier to sail from Southampton.
Family of 11, all room bookings were linked but we had no benefit from that. Always split into two tables when booking at speciality restaurants, main dinning room wanted us to always eat very early as could not ...
