Review summary

We loved our cruise overall. However the ship has a lot of decor snaggings that need attention. Tiles missing in the pool, cracks around the edges, damage inside the lifts including areas taped up, ripped seats in the havannah, dirty stained chairs in the buffet area, there was a dint in the wall on the corridor to our room. We found the starters in the main restaurant (bay tree) often resembled and in some cases tasted like pet food. We preffered the buffet food. We dined in Sindhu and that was amazing. However when approached to book a table we were told there was an offer available but werent told this was only at selected times and when we had to reschedule we didn't get the offer. We had to ask our room attended for shampoo, conditioner and toilet roll more than once even though he had been in our room every day twice a day, they weren't refilled when running low. I have cruised several times before and had made a big deal to my partner (who has never cruised) about how you feel like royalty and how everything on cruises is 5* but I'd rate it a lot less in comparison to other ships i have been on. Including another P&O.

This ship scores 4.5 stars on review page. You are a picky person who seems to look for things to moan about. Stick to other cruise lines

We went on her June this year. We had no problems. Food in the main restaurant was of a high quality. Staff excellent.

Why would I leave a fake review? It’s a fair review of my experience!

This sounds exactly like my experience on Ventura having to ask the room attendant to replenish certain things. Normally I’m not keen on the buffet food on other ships but I found this was the best place to eat better than the main dining room because unlike other ships I’ve been on, the menu in Ventura’s buffet would have some of the same as what was being served in the main dining room, also I thought the service in the mdr was poor compared to other ships I’ve been on. The food and service in Sindhu was fantastic. I wish I’d had tried the food in The Glass House as I loved it in there. I did think the entertainment on the Ventura was really good though, like the sail away parties and the pub quizzes.
