Review summary

Great cruise overall. The itinerary was very good and the ship was delightful. The staff were helpful and pleasant. The food and service was outstanding throughout. The entertainment was also good. I do not suffer from sea sickness however I would recommend sea sickness tablets as Ventura doesn’t seem to handle bad weather well, it won’t spoil your cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff were friendly and helpful, our cabin steward couldn’t do enough for us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Lovely design with a luxury and contemporary feel despite it being a traditional experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Superior deluxe balcony, I was told it was the equivalent of a mini suite. The cabin was spacious and comfortable however the bathroom was slightly small and basic however it served its purpose.

Dengage, it just didn’t seem to handle the bay of Biscay as well as other ships in the fleet.

I don't agree with you that Ventura doesn't handle bad weather, we've been on her many times in bad weather especially storm Denis and she was very stable going with the storm and sailing back into it the only time she did lurch was when she turned back into the storm to sail back to Southampton and the captain warned us it would happen 🛳️🛳️

Our favourite ship in the fleet. Fingers crossed, we be back on her September
