The value of the cruise was good but once onboard the experience is not great. The ship is tired and old , really needs a modern update. MY cabin was in need of updating and cabin staff just seem stressed and miserable. We were allocated a great table at The Oriental but no Sommelier so the poor waiting staff are stressed out trying to get the hot food and cope with taking drinks orders which is ...
Embarkation superb; atrium pathetically underwhelming; cabin spotless and stewardess excellent; ship tired and has the feel of being past it's sell by date; In-house shows very professional; singers average; comedians pretty dire and smutty (the two go together),and in the main not funny; cost cutting everywhere, flogging you stuff at every opportunity; food average only; tea and coffee dire (not ...
I have been on ten cruises in total (four different companies), with my teenage children and without so I think I have enough experience to give a fair and honest review. This is my second P&O cruise, the first one was four nights from Southampton, this one from Tenerife. We will never go and P&O again.
The good - rooms were in good order and beds comfortable. We did ask to be near my ...
We did Canary Islands cruise in November 2022 on Azura and it was fabulous so persuaded our friends to come with us on an identical cruise in November 2023 and how embarrassed were we ? It was dire especially the service which was absolutely awful especially in the restaurants. We have cruised with P&O numerous times indeed are Mediterranean Peninsular members and have nearly always been happy or ...
Decided to try this for a change and what a mistake that was.
Flew to Tenerife and then bused to the ship and went through boarding fairly easily and onto ship.
Ship looked in reasonable condition and cabin was clean and functional. Bathroom had shower curtain and shower head was too low to stand under and no soap.
After three hours case had not been delivered to room and went and ...
3 day stay in Tenerife and 7 day cruise,stopping at Maderia , Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.
Ship in general looks tired. Furniture in cabins adequate but dated; a lot of brown and beige.
Light displays in main dining areas were not functioning properly.
The food was the most disappointing aspect. I am a Pescetarian and my husband vegetarian.
The food in the main dining rooms were ...
So cheap cruising has become like a trip to Benidorm on P&O
The ship is dated. Understaffed and lacking the glitz and glamour we have experienced on other ships. Our toilet flooded on the first night and we had flushing issues for 2 weeks so did our neighbouring rooms
The Buffet closed too early, some days we missed lunch due to trip return times . Buffet often closed 2.30
The App for ...
This was our first cruise at Christmas and first voyage on P&O. We decided on Azura around the Canary Islands as the dates worked perfectly for us.
The ship is very dated for its age and in need of some TLC in the public areas and a good deep clean. It was 50/50 if the toilets would be clean when you used them, bins overflowing floors wet!!! First time I’ve been on a cruise and seen toilets ...
First, the positives: Norwegian Sun is a pleasant enough ship with mainly, very nice, helpful crew. We had been on two previous cruises with NCL so we thought we knew what to expect, although we were not aware that the ship had been repaired a few months earlier, having hit an iceberg in Alaska.
Now, the negatives: NCL seem to have a new policy of penny-pinching. Terrible coffee and very ...
We chose this cruise for a week in the sun before Christmas.We are loyal RCCL cruisers and knew this would be very different but the dates, itinerary and mega cheap price drew us in.
In viewing the YouTube video of this ship before we booked we knew it wouldn’t be what we were used to.
Flight and transportation and checking in were all good…luckily we were on the flight that wasn’t delayed… ...
