P&O Southampton Cruise Reviews

Have sailed on Iona quite a few times and it’s got worse every time. With all the cabins on board, only 1 suite is disabled accessible, none of the conservatory mini suites are accessible and most of the balcony cabins have a pillar in the cabin which hinders movement of wheelchairs. None of the inside cabins are fully accessible. None of the pools are accessible unless you want to be hoisted ...

Would not recommend this ship Caught Novovirus I know of 3 others but heard there was lots more but no official word about it . 3 people airlifted off ship Cabin on 17th floor a nightmare below sunbathing deck and late at night early morning moving chairs about to clean deck . Wardrobes and bed creaking and opening on there own and ship swayed badly maybe due to be so high up . ...

We chose this cruise to have a little sunshine in January. It was the first and will most definitely be the last time on this uncomfortable vibrating cruise ship. My wife and I have travelled in many ships over the years and P&O up to now have been our favourite cruise company. The Iona cruise ship is big, probably too big if I’m being honest as even the calmest sea it vibrates into a ...

We've sailed with P&O many times, first sailing with them back in 2011. This was the first time we were going to receive 'priority' boarding, however our embarkation time was delayed due to the requirement for the ship to be deep cleaned after a gastro intestinal disease outbreak. We arrived on time for our delayed embarkation and waited two hours outside before we were let into the terminal. We ...

It was when Lorena, Sous Chef in the Horizon self-service restaurant, asked me on the first morning what sort of bread I preferred for my breakfast toast that I had an inkling that Aurora was going to deliver something special. The 65-night Grand Tour to the USA and Caribbean certainly did that, starting each day with seeded bread for my toast, baked by Lorena and cheerfully delivered to my table ...

We took a mid section balcony on Deck 12 and apart from the really hard pillows, the cabin was well equipped but tight for space. There is a large selection of videos available on the tv, some repeated in the 3 small cinemas. We have sailed at least 7 times previously with P & O, and this was our second time on Iona. This time we found the Main Dining Room staff to be mostly noticeably ...

We have cruised with p.o very many times and i have to say that we have always had a very enjoyable time, our last cruise was in 2019 we did have three cruises booked after covid but p.o but they were cancelled as we had never been away for a chrismas and new year cruise we transferred one of our outstanding booking to arcadia. Boarding was very quick and easy, after our loyalty lunch we went to ...

We have just returned from Cruise N336 which was the 2023 Christmas Cruise to the Canary Islands with P&O Cruises aboard the MV Ventura where we had a Suite, one of the best rooms on the ship. Unless things change however, has been our last cruise with P&O. Prices are increasing at a rapid rate yet there are constantly cutting services, they are no longer value for money or premium. ...

Had cruised on Ventura pre covid and 10 plus other cruises, reasonable standard not wow but ok . Now its standards have fallen so far, cost cutting to the bones ferry companies provide better. Cabin cleaned bed made if requested with card in lock once a day no turn down.,Bathroom no apparent cleaning as nothing ever moved mould in tiles grout coming out..Lack of vegetables on board asked for ...

Never been on a Christmas cruise or been away from home before at this time of year. It was a different experience with P&O staff making the experience special for passengers especially children. We have cruised extensively over the last 10 years all with P&O and I do agree with comments re things are very different post covid on all their ships particularly regarding food choice in the main ...
