Really poor cruise
Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Arvia
ArviaMay24
6-10 Cruises
• Age 30s
I’ve gone on +-10 cruises over the past 20 years, this was by far the worst. The positives - modern ship, nice finishes, friendly MDR and horizon and room attendants (olive grove team were grumpy and rude). Lots of restaurant options. Great gym with lots of equipment The negatives - P&O are really cutting costs.. For example, no free ice cream by the pools, which most other ships have. The

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Arvia
We are experienced cruise goers (we go 3-4 times a year)Arvia is a beautiful ship but it is wasted on P&O.The food was bland and barely warm, the service is slow, the staff border on being rude- this is not how cruising should be.Our cabin was small and not clean. Sheets were not changed in 2 weeks - we were not surprised at all by an outbreak of a sickness bug as the cleanliness left

We were a bit afraid of traveling as we heard about the norovirus bug going on on Ventura on the previous trip before ours.We received an email from P&O advising us that boarding was running 4 hours behind so we needed to get to the terminal 4 hours after our original boarding time.As we do not live anywhere close to Southampton, we decided to leave early, and due to the fact we got to

Hey travel fam, Mahendra and Jayshree here spilling the tea on our recent P&O Ventura cruise from May 25th to June 1st, 2024! Buckle up for some laughs (and maybe a few groans).Embarkation Shenanigans: Let's just say "organised chaos" doesn't even begin to describe it. Thanks to a norovirus outbreak on the previous cruise, embarkation was a nightmare. We ended up losing a whole day thanks to

Tired
Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on Arcadia
Bob Mawson
The ship is looking very tired now and would benefit from a major refurbishment especially the air conditioning.All of the staff were very good and helpful.The menu was monotonous and we became bored of it very quickly in the buffet area on deck 9 and was probably aimed at targeting a more advanced in age person - Im sure that there is no need for a roast dinner for Lunch and Dinner 7 days

Currently on cruise number 25 or 26 but first on P&O. To start on positive the internet is the best we've experienced at sea and the food in main restaurants is excellent, amongst best we have had at sea (apart from the buffet which is amongst the poorest). The main problem with the ship, part from it being very very dated, is that the logistics, moving and organising people is just utterly

We thoroughly enjoyed our Baltic/Scandinavia cruise on Aurora. We loved the variety of ports, the weather was particularly kind to us which was a bonus. Our cabin steward (Jacky) was excellent, he really looked after us. Everything was first class in our opinion, all staff professional, attentive and friendly. Food fantastic in the buffet (the Indian night - not to be missed)and in the Medina

Perfect experience for our first cruise in our 80s
Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Iona

The P&O Iona 5000 passenger ship from Southampton on Norwegian fiord Cruise. Beautiful ship where it appeared to be uncrowded with plenty of room despite the large passenger capacity. Very good and varied food. Comfortable bed and balcony with 2 chairs and a small table. The spring weather was sunny and warm with light winds, the ship appearing not to move unless you looked at the scenery. Our

Ruined Our Honeymoon
Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Iona

• Age 30s
My wife and I saved up for a honeymoon cruise to Norway. Everything we saw suggested that Iona would be a luxury and peaceful resort at sea; it was our first cruise and we were both quite excited. We ended the experience tired and depressed.Firstly, the good. The cabin was really nice, we booked a Conservatory Mini-Suite which was spacious and afforded us some pretty sea views. We luckily
