Review summary

This was our first cruise and not sure if we’d go again. If we did it wouldn’t be with P&O. They overcharged us on our bill when we got back and the ship was a bit too big , too hard to find our way around

This was our first cruise with P&O and to be honest I don’t think I’d choose them again, there were some good bits like the sail away parties and the fact you can take drinks on with you to have in your cabin but unfortunately the negatives outweighed the positives, especially how poor the room service is and the service in the main dining rooms!

The Ventura is one of p and o,s larger ships if you use them again try the oriana or the Aurora as they are smaller and I like them both
