P&O Malta (Valletta) Cruise Reviews

Just returned from a 7 day cruise around Croatia from Malta. Have used P and O prior on a cruise to the Caribbean about 10 years ago but was not aware how this cruise line has fallen into decline. The balcony cabin was exactly the same as we remembered as the decor and carpets seemed the same as 10 years ago. However no complimentary bottled water in the room (you have to buy your own which I ...

We chose this cruise due to its brilliant itinerary visiting 3 ports in Croatia (Split, Zadar & Dubrovnik) and one in Greece (Corfu). Initially we were supposed to go to Trieste (gateway to Venice & Slovenia) however few months before the cruise we were informed that Trieste would be changed to Corfu which was our first disappointment. We flew to Malta from London Heathrow on Air Malta. There ...

Chose this cruise mainly for the itinerary and it didn’t disappoint We flew to Malta from Bristol with TUI and it all went smoothly, we boarded not long after 11.00. We had packed some swimming costumes in our carry on luggage so could make quick use of the pools and hot tub as soon as we boarded (we changed in the spa changing rooms and staff offered a key for the locker to store our ...

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 ...

Cruised from Malta for 7 days going to Greece, Corfu, Dubrovnik and Split. Was a little apprehensive having seen other reviews but the bottom line is we did have a good enjoyable cruise. Recent cruises have been the Harmony of the Seas and we previously cruised on the Ventura (2017 I think) and had a excellent time so using those as a benchmark. Flights and Transfers to/from the ship etc. ...

Just had a lovely cruise around the Greek Island on Azura. Despite other reviews, we found the food to be good and plentiful, however, we do agree that the choice, especially in the main restaurants, have been reduced. My wife was so looking forward to her prawn cocktail starter which was always on the menu in the past but not now. The ship is looking tired in a lot of areas and there seemed to ...

We were excited for our cruise, it was going to 9 destinations and 8 we had never been to before. We are not new to cruising so knew what to expect on a well detailed and organised cruise. The Ship is fine in itself, if a little tired in places. The Captain was brilliant, he was from Derbyshire and made every announcement funny, but informative. Catering needs some serious work, and I mean ...

I have cruised with P&O before., but never on the Azura. We arrived late due to our charter flight delay. The dining rooms were closed. The buffet restaurant was only partially open so the queues were long and tiring with a limited choice. Not the best introduction to Azura. I felt the ship was tired and lacked sparkle. Service was mediocre. Entertainment bland and quite amateurish at some ...

We have recently returned from our Azura cruise and have had a lovely holiday. The ship is older but smart in places. We travelled on her a few years ago and noticed a few improvements. There does seem to be a few cutbacks with staffing but we found staff very helpful and most of them have double jobs on board and work hard. The food in the main dining area were smaller portions which ...

Due to family connections Malta is a regular destination for us. So a cruise around the med sailing from Malta meant we could combine 2 trips together. The boarding process was well organised and straight forward. The Azura is an older P &O ship and is showing signs of age. The cabin was clean and tidy and staff very helpful. We were in a forward cabin and the allocated restaurant was at the very ...
