Review summary

Loved it all from start to finish , a few concerns regarding H&S as no lifeguards and some parents not watching the children who were running and jumping in the pool - accident waiting to happen, and it did on this cruise, saying that I thought the ship was very clean and the staff are so happy and never seem to stop, always happy and busy. Excursions we went on were fantastic! Food on board was lovely and plentiful, hence bigger clothes when we got home lol. Loved it that much we booked again for next year on the same ship

Can’t blame the staff - but there were so many impatient people who thought it was their right to jump the lines and not wait there turns - just rude - poor girl did try to stop it but some people are just too rude and impai

We found the same this year. You always get some parents who let there kids run riot.

On P&0 ships it is clearly posted pool side 'no lifegaurds'. Parents should keep an eye on their kids Personaly i love the ventura and her sister ship azura

I don’t think any of the P&O ships have lifeguards
