Canaries Cruise Reviews

Overall a fantastic cruise. The ship and all the crew were fantastic. Would miss out La Palma. Not much to do if you don’t like going on vertigo enduring journey. The art classes were great. It is very sad that Oriana is leaving the fleet. She is by far my favourite.

A cruise full of old people paying their last respects to a loved ship about to be retired.

1st cruise cabin with Pullman bed not really suitable to woman of a certain age Constant running water noise all week we found out was something to do with the spa ,we thought this should be advised when booking this cabin .overall nice cruise looking for next year

A first cruise with P & O and they are behind Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Princess but having said that they are still a good cruise line. Very efficient embarkation and disembarkation at Southampton. Had a balcony room at stern of ship (B755) which had a larger balcony and gave great views to where we had sailed. Food good but service slow in anytime dining room, possibly due to staff getting to grips with new tablets that orders had to be placed on. We were generally there for 2 hours and then leaving early in order to catch the show in the theatre. The salad selection at lunchtime in the buffet restaurant could do with a better selection and for staff to keep on top of items that were being depleted, including plates etc. The shows were of a good quality, especially The Fly Rights. Beginners dance classes with Jeffrey and Brenda were excellent as was the nightly dancing with them in The Atrium. A pity some stairs were out of action at various times due to carpets being replaced meaning some hefty detours. Overall a good cruise and would travel with them again.

I was so nervous as this was my first cruise bug j had the best time from start to finish . Oh was made to feel relaxed and put at ease .

Not sure we’d go with P&O again.....for us it missed the mark in a lot of areas compared to the cruises we’ve been on before but if the itinerary suited who knows!

Only ever travelled with p and o and have noticed very slight down turn regarding small items ie, don’t fold towels in animal shapes anymore also no sweets in cabins and slight lack of waiters on deck and buffet would appear they are cutting back on probably silly little things but to some these are things they go with p and o for

This was a Strictly Come Dancing themed cruise and it was excellent. We met many of the stars onboard and watched a lot of great shows. The food and service was excellent in all the restaurants. We had a forward facing balcony cabin on deck 15 (A103) and much to our surprise it was an excellent cabin but we were lucky with the weather. Cabin steward was also very helpful. Can't think of any negatives except the lifts which seemed to have a life all if their own and more photographers are required on these cruises as they were overwhelmed by the amount of work from passengers.

We enjoyed our cruise and will definitely be booking another

it was a very excellent cruise over the Atlantic and very nice stopps

The cruise was lovely and relaxing, plenty of things to do loved the planet bar, and the Manhattan bar the theatre had the best shows like We3. I also meet them after and had my photo taken with the lead singer Steven.

Last time I will go on this ship had its day Very tatty needs scrapping Thomson has had the best from it

We needed a relaxing break and that is what we had.

Choppy seas, plenty to do onboard, nice places to visit.

It was a perfect cruise with very beautiful landscapes , the weather was warm and we enjoyed very much the food and the staff very kind.

Definitely go with Marella again because of excellent food, entertainment and staff

Enjoyed the cruise great service very clean professional friendly staff ... the only surprise and disappointment was the food both in the buffet and main dining rooms ... I think skimped on quality ingredients... no bananas ... little choice of cheese

We were a bit nervous after booking cruise & reading the reviews with the comments of it being like an old peoples home. We both had a fantastic time & met so many interesting people with so much experience of cruising. The food was fantastic & also the service, much better than any other cruise line I've sailed with.

Old ship needs to be scrapped sorry to say 500 layers of paint !!!

P&O need to cater for a younger generation, so to keep their future clientele, most if not all of the entertainment and activities was set in the 50's & 60's, newer modern entertainment and activities for the 20 to 50 year old set for 80's & 00's required, not the 70. Staff excellent however not much can be said for the majority of passengers with their comments and attitudes with lack of manners to staff and fellow passengers. This cruise was more Saga than P&O.
