Review summary

This was my first and most likely last cruise with P&O. The whole experience was very pedestrian. The ship is ‘fresh’ out of rehab but still looks pretty worn in many places, and the decor is like something out of a 90’s Florida hotel. The entertainment was great, but the food was mediocre at best in the main dining room and flat out terrible at the buffet. Our room steward was awesome, but the rest of the staff seemed pretty bothered by the guests, which were another constant annoyance, and the lack of manners was pretty appalling. It was like being in a Walmart on Saturday afternoon all day long. It’s no wonder P&O doesn’t market in North America - they’d never make it with such sub-par service and offerings.

The only fault we had on Ventura was ripping up carpet s on different stairs and landings glue and varnish we had a couple on our landing with sore throats and coughs both my husband and myself have been laid up since we got home my husband ended up on a drip we travelled 23 April

One persons 90’s Florida Hotel is another’s up to date decor. Not saying it’s perfect, but P&O market is predominantly British, so decor and food are set accordingly. I think it’s perhaps subjective to our individual tastes.
