P&O Italy Cruise Reviews

We will not travel with P&O again, having done many cruises with them previously. The food was poor, even in the main dining room. Eating nice food is what you look forward to on a cruise but the evening meal became an issue many nights ( lack of variety in the menu, desserts we couldn't eat, no variety in the vegetables, steak requested medium and arrives well done, dry and tough. The ice cream ...

My sister booked two cabins. These two cabins were miles apart ours mid deck 6 theirs deck 14 at the front of the ship. The cabin phones were faulty for 24 hours which meant we could not contact them. There just to many people on this ship. The queues started at embarkation point at Southampton and finished we left the docks after the cruise. The first 24+ hours the booking system was not usable, ...

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 ...

Cruise chosen for interesting ports of call. Last on this ship 15 yrs ago. apart from a few theatre productions the overall entertainment was poor, there were more quizzes on this ship on a daily basis than ever before. One busker left the ship but not replaced mid cruise. Pianists only played for 45 min each session. Everything was very repetitive ( even the quiz questions). No appearance of the ...

Introduction Me and my partner travelled on Arvia on the 14th May until the 28th. We are both 22 years old and have just finished University so this was supposed to be a nice treat for us both. I have previously travelled with P&O on Britannia, Azura, and Ventura (the latter being with my partner). All three of the previous ships were lovely, and despite travelling on Ventura while Covid ...

We've been cruising exclusively with P&O for the past ten years. The latest cruise was to the Med from Southampton. I really like P&O but post COVID the quality of service does make me question if we will cruise with them again. We accept that the acute gastroenteritis outbreak didn't help matters (we later found out that there was also COVID cases but these were not mentioned on the 1800 ...

First of all the ship was nice, the food was ok and some of the shows were good. That's pretty much the plus points! Getting on at Southampton was a disgrace (left standing outside the cruise terminal over an hour) Getting off the ship was even worse, hundreds of us fighting to get past eachother to get our luggage with no representation from p&o, this was clearly very upsetting for alot of us! ...

We chose this cruise because it went to a few ports we hadn't visited before, and it was at a time (April) when we thought the weather would be good but not too hot. We have sailed with P&O 6 times before and 3 of those on Arcadia, and have always enjoyed ourselves. Not on this occasion. We were surprised when our Cabin Steward advised us there was no evening turn-down and that he wasn't ...

Just arrived back from two weeks cruising the Med on Arvia having had a fantastic time. It was our first time on Arvia, but we sailed on Iona over Christmas and have both sailed with P&O several times on Oriana, Adonia, and Britannia. The only reason we booked Arvia was to take advantage of the extra onboard credit P&O offered as compensation for the Christmas debacle. But, we had a great ...
