P&O Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

After reading many bad reviews about Arvia,we had mixed feelings about getting onboard,but we always say let's make our cruise the best we can make it what ever happens.We have been on plenty of cruises with different cruise lines and plenty with P and O. We have to say we had a fantastic time ,yes it wasn't perfect ,but we didn't experience anything to really moan about.Food was of a good ...

After many years sailing with Princess cruises we decides to have a change and try P & O as they appeared to offer good value for money. Arvia was a new ship and we had received some good reviews about it and its sister ship Iona. We were quite fortunate to be flying TUI from Manchester to Bridgetown and everything went exceptionally well, we certainly liked depositing our luggage at Manchester ...

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 ...

Christmas in th carribean, Started with Meleth Air, comfort not as good as we hoped, we had booked and paid £90 for 4A &4B at the front, we got 20E & 20F as they had canceled all bookings, no entertainment, food very poor & no choice, one drink but served at the same time as the food. Boarded plane 9:30am due to take off at 10:05, take off was 11:05. Arrived at at 4:30 local time Barbados, Walk ...

Just come home from the Christmas cruise and really enjoyed it. Britannia was a pleasant surprise - a classy upgrade on our two previous trips on Azura. I was surprised how different the atrium felt (in a good way) when we were there, compared to how it looks in photos and videos - you can't get a feel for the ambience until you're there. It's smaller than it looks on screen, but there's ...

We have been on P&O Christmas cruises for years, flying from Manchester to Barbados usually 2 weeks duration but occasionally 4 weeks. This one was 2 weeks. Flight out was OK, a bit late but nothing like the debacle of 2022. We had special assistance at both Manchester and Barbados airports which worked well and instead of having to cram into small mini buses we had a private taxi for the journey ...

I booked Arvia 2 years ago as am a Business Travel Consultant and I only got back this morning. Theirs plenty of highs and many lows to. Where do you start well here goes. The Highs: Amazing staff who will do their best to go above and beyond for you The Ship is big as it accommodates 5200 passenger's so its not going to be everyone's cup of tea but the cabins are spacious and I ...

The holiday started with a flight on Tui Dreamliner which should have left at 11.10 am and took off at 12 noon due to fog at Gatwick. They served us free drinks just after take off including alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and tea and coffee. Then around an hour into the flight they served us lunch which was ok and you could have free wine with dinner. Bear in mind if you want to buy Duty Free on ...

This was our first time on a p&o cruise, and the first time on such a large ship. We travelled from Manchester on a tui flight so a little lucky there. We had ordered a few trips prior to the cruise and when doing a last minute review before our departure found we had a new room on another deck. We had no communication from p&o so check the web prior to departure. So with our writing a book we ...

Just returned from the latest two week booze cruise around the Caribbean. Arvia is a magnificent ship and a cut above Iona, but it is a great tragedy that it is playing host to the type of people who should not be within a continent of it. As a result it is already showing signs of wear - with P&O infamous for cutting costs to the bone any non-essential system on the ship that breaks is ignored. ...
