May 2024 - 7 nights on Queen Anne
July 2023 - 7 Night Mediterranean Highlights (Southampton To Rome) Cruise on Queen Mary 2
June 2022 - 10 Night Alaska (Vancouver Roundtrip) Cruise on Queen Elizabeth
April 2019 - 7 Night Transatlantic Westbound (Southampton To New York) Cruise on Queen Mary 2
All around a fantastic experience. The crew was clearly very proud of their ship and it showed in their service from start to finish. The ship itself was a wonder - steadier than any ship I’ve previously sailed. The rooms were well appointed and public room decor inspired by the original Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. The high ceilings really made the ship feel very roomy (which of course she is) and the passengers from all walks of life and nationalities were a delight to meet and engaged readily from day 1 to day 7. Everyone seemed genuinely excited to be aboard for the crossing. Food was amazing, both in the main dining room and the buffet. All around a fantastic experience.
April 2019 - Belgium and The Netherlands Cruise on Ventura
This was my first and most likely last cruise with P&O. The whole experience was very pedestrian. The ship is ‘fresh’ out of rehab but still looks pretty worn in many places, and the decor is like something out of a 90’s Florida hotel. The entertainment was great, but the food was mediocre at best in the main dining room and flat out terrible at the buffet. Our room steward was awesome, but the rest of the staff seemed pretty bothered by the guests, which were another constant annoyance, and the lack of manners was pretty appalling. It was like being in a Walmart on Saturday afternoon all day long. It’s no wonder P&O doesn’t market in North America - they’d never make it with such sub-par service and offerings.
