P&O Italy Cruise Reviews

Have cruised many times, usually on P and O, this time we flew to Tenerife, cruised around Canaries, Madeira, mainland Spain, Sardinia, and Greece. We really enjoyed the ports, flights were good too. The staff on board Azura were lovely, very hard working and always willing to please. Our cabin was a balcony and light and airy, but showing its age. However, we found all the cutbacks took ...

Whilst the crew were attentive some had only very limited English. The ship was immaculately clean and our cabin steward was lovely but the ice bucket ordered for 6pm each evening more often than not failed to arrive on time if at all. The food for the first 2/3 days was tepid and we regularly sent back cold coffee. There was no information given about ports of call other than to suggest ...

This was our second and last cruise, The food was very bland with Curries every day. Disinbarkation was a shambles. Mainly due to the Sheds being used were build for smaller Cruise Ship not ones with over 6000 passengers. Main complaint is that my wife and I both returned with Covid, over the last few days of the Cruise more and more people were having meals delivered to their Cabins I ...

We chose based on dates, itinerary, price and P&O reputation. Our balcony cabin was roomy, comfortable and mostly well kept. It's a tired older ship, cabin carpet had some stains, the fridge barely worked and the cold water wasn't cold. The ship was crowded, it being August, and felt it at times. Reception weren't great. The main restaurant food was often good, never great, but sometimes iffy. The ...

This was our first time on P&O, having done many cruises with RC and Celebrity. We were disappointed pretty early on, to be honest. The ship in parts is very nice and modern but in other areas it's very dated and even chlostrophobic. Weird fake grass up on deck which looks cheap and when wet, stays wet for a long time. Pools too small. Cabin very dated - for a ship still relatively new I ...

So this is our 19th cruise and the 4th on p&o. 1st time on Azura and sadly it will be our last! The entertainment and ship wide facilities are good. Nice layout, good pools, plenty of loungers. So the best bits 5* for entertainment. The theatre is well equipped with amazing light and sound and the shows are excellent. Great dancing and some excellent vocals from the male lead singers and ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary to the Mediterranean and possibility to do this in summer holiday period. We love to sail from Southampton because of its variety of destinations (last year we did cruise from Southampton to Iceland and Greenland with Princess) Embarkation same as the disembarkation went very smoothly no comments there. The fellow passengers were as you would ...

Lovely ports of call. Good service. Some staff appeared to be very overworked. On the whole good entertainment. Excellent speakers. Headliners could have been better especially the dancers. Had to ask cabin steward for bed changes. Washing machines, coffee machines, toilets all out of order. Buckets in corridor to collect water when it rained. Corrosion evident on many decks. Ship just ...

Chose this 7-day cruise because of the destinations en route. The "buffet" leaves a lot to be desired - poor choice of dishes, terrible organisation in terms of getting people through, inadequate tea and coffee stations which always lacked simple things like teaspoons, the food was consistently cold and/or dry. One of the main irritations was the captain. Multiple times a day he would make ...

We picked Arvia at the last minute to achieve a sunshine family holiday that would fit in with prearranged leave dates and keep two 16 year olds entertained. The fact that she departed from Southampton and saved us from getting flights was a plus. Given these goals the holiday was a success and everyone enjoyed themselves. With one inside and one outside window (no balcony) cabin we achieved value ...
