3 days before we sailed, we were contacted by P&O who advised us that our cabin was no longer available and gave us an ultimatum of a downgrade to inside cabin with a 50% refund or cancel our holiday. We were left with no choice but to accept the downgrade. We booked this cruise in June 23. The ship itself is in a poor state and in desperate need of a refurb. The food was substandard. We we both ...
We flew from Gatwick to Tenerife to board the ship. The transfer to the north of the island was disorganised and chaotic. We waited two hours for the coach to pick us up. Finally arrived to a filthy cabin. Used bedding, dirty and dusty throughout the cabin but for me the smelly sheets and pillows were a step too far. Dirty shower, basin, toilet-bathroom was disgusting. After I complained it was ...
So disappointed, we are seasoned cruisers and booked this because it was inexpensive but really regret it now as ship is falling apart is not maintained and in our opinion dirty especially the public toilets where the tiles and skirting is full of grime. The food in the buffet is just awful and reminded of school diners, there is no bakery on board just reheat frozen bread. The food in the main ...
Never again. First time on p&o. so disappointed. Bar service non existant. Sometimes had to wait for over a quarter of an hour just to order a drink. And another to be served. Food——- . Most street food is even better. Buffet so poor with almost no choice at all. The meat when available was as though as leather. We have been on various different cruise lines but never like this. So poor. Asked ...
Too many overweight and ill mannered seniors on board (although there were quality passengers also).
Too few comfortable seats in desirable areas unless constantly harrassed by (very polite) waiters to buy drink after drink.
The instant you emptied a cup, glass, or plate it was removed by waiters (sometimes they had to be told to leave glasses alone).
Loud, unpleasant "Rap" music piped ...
FIRST TIME CRUISER
I went with a friend , simply no good on all levels boring , flat atmosphere, rough sailing , missed stops, mykynos and skatios no compensation , late sailing by 7 hrs! no entertainment , food OK, staff miserable . Captains night waste of time . What was the point ? I didn't get why ? I can't really say I went to Greece ! What I saw was rubbish . ( because of missed ...
I don't want to waste a lot of my time writing this review, but just to say that we were with a group of people (10 in total) and we all has a lot of issues during our weeks cruise. Worst of all it was my friends wedding onboard, and many of her arrangements and our dining plans were messed up! We weren't able to sit together for dinner until the 4th night!! Even the special wedding night meal saw ...
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 ...
Hearing great feedback from a few people who have done this cruise previously we decided to book a Mediterranean cruise. The cabin we stayed in had not been cleaned properly as the previous guests receipts and an Amazon envelope was left in one of the cupboards. The Buffet was really poor with watered down juices and dirty plates and cups. You would expect that after the covid pandemic and all of ...
I read a number of reviews about P & O including this ship which seemed ok especially for solo travellers do decided to book.
The ship is very tired in a number of areas and in need of a refit. Cabins / bathrooms certainly things like missing grout, cracked shower trays, ineffective air conditioning. I reported my air conditioning day one, since then 3 further times now on day 12 and still not ...
