Review summary

first cruise we did in June 2017, totally blown away with how amazing our holiday was! the ship was suberb, our balcony cabin was perfect, the staff fantastic, the food was 100% delicious and the holiday it self was mind blowing :-) already booked to go back on Azura next May and then planning a transatlantic cruise to the Caribbean in 2019

best thing about the transatlantic cruise is that if you in joy talking to people everyone wants to chat. as because there a lot of sea days make time pass nicely. as when on cruise with not many sea days everyone doing there on thing. plus Caribbean very nice.

thankyou for the advice, was thinking about sailing out and flying home, cause if you fly out, once on the ship you know your heading home :-(

my advice to you. do one sailing to Caribbean. definitely miss out next year but do the year after. I did last year and Frist port of call was shocking. but this year Frist port of call I've done before and it's very nice.

depends on what cruise you do, I think the canary islands one for 12 nites is roughly 800/900? depends when you travel but not much change in price

How much for an inside cabin?

I think personally they are reasonable considering what you get for your money, fab entertainment and amazing food, the cabins are spotless and well looked after, staff are very helpful and friendly, this was our first cruise and already booked 2 more with them lol

dont fancy britannia . azura and ventura are sister ships of the same class and layout is identical. only differance is outdoor cinema on azura instead of sky dome pool on ventura. as far as food and staff go theres nothing to choose between the 2 only been on the ventura more because of the ports visited
