Review summary

GOOD POINTS

1. Nice break away with family

2. Great shows

3. Great entertainment (quizzes, karioke, bands etc)

4. Clean ship

5. Decent shops

BAD POINTS

1. Not enough time - should be 3 nights minimum, felt rushed 

2. staff nowhere near as attentive as I have experienced on normal cruises, too much pressure on them 

3. food standards about 50% than the usual excellent fayre on offer

4. tender boats being winched at 7am right outside our room

All in all an enjoyable trip with my family but I feel P&O will lose numerous future customers with these sorts of breaks, so different from the excellent standards we have encountered on previous trips (with other cruise companies btw). 

Will never go on another 2 night break again but would certainly think about a 3 or 4 night trip in future

Agree . We'd not do a two night cruise again

Been on this ship a few times now. Not experienced any of the above. Though I can't see what you would expect from a 2 night cruise. It's a . . . let's all go mad booze cruise from what I've ever known. It's no way of experiencing a true cruising experience. Longer nights the better I say. Fabulously hard working cabin crew n restaurant staff etc 😁

been on the azura twice 14 days and 17 days and never experianced any of your negatives. i think your right about the 2 night cruises they are over priced and dont seem to meet peoples expectations
