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 ...
Just back from a Med cruise on Azura and it was wonderful. The crew cannot do enough for you. The captain is friendly and present around the ship a lot, which was lovely. Food and service in the main dining room was faultless and breakfast and dinner. The buffet was great for lunch, lots of salads as well as heavier options. Veggie dishes are good and easy to find. Plenty of sun loungers ...
I was a little hesitated to book this cruise given some of the more recent reviews were a bit mixed. However, I’ve just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable cruise with no significant complaints. It appears some of the die hard cruisers on here have been disappointed by some of the very minor changes P&O may have made with certain aspects. But in reality they will have no material impact on your ...
Having been on a few cruises but never with P&O or sailing from Southampton we chose to do a med cruise with this company. We didn't regret it. We had the most fantastic holiday on this very smart ship, The Arvia. P&O have really thought of everything. Our balcony and facilities were well-planned, spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed the exceptional food and the service was excellent. We ...
We have done many cruises and tried different companies, going on Ariva was intriguing given the size and how new it was .
The first couple of days was mixed having to get used to the virtual queue system ( I would suggest this is taught by the ship - perhaps doing some meetings to orientate guests and have less complaints)
The food in the main dining room wad nice but not quite its usual ...
Cannot fault the entire experience. From flight check in at Manchester, the TUI flight, check in for the cruise at Malta, the entire experience onboard to picking up the bags on return to Manchester airport. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. P&O's organizations was superb. Our superior deluxe cabin on deck 9 midship was immaculate throughout. It had a full size bathroom. We had an attentive steward ...
We booked a week cruise around Corsica & Italy, followed by 4 days at the AX Palace in Malta with P&O in Sept 2022.
By now formal Covid testing was not compulsory, and we duly did our home test kits, (negative), filled in our declarations & off we went. We chose P&O as we'd been on the Britannia in the past, and knew we could expect great service etc.
We had booked an inside cabin to cut ...
We had a fantastic holiday on onboard Britannia for a second time. The food was 95% great. The lobster and King prawns were a real treat. The entertainment was brilliant, especially the P&O performers and the staff are a real credit to P&O. The trips were well organised and despite the very hot weather we still had a great time visiting the different countries. I particularly enjoyed the art and ...
Initially, we chose this cruise because it was quite cheap and we could pay monthly. As the time for the cruise drew nearer I was quite nervous because I'd seen some bad reviews for the ship.
My fears soon vanished when we arrived at the terminal. Embarkation was simple and quick and we were soon in our room. The cabin was much larger than I expected, very roomy and plenty of storage space. We ...
