Review summary

A relatively good cruise however there were too many families on board for our liking, the pool felt a tad crowded and loud. We don’t normally go for the family ships (except Oceana) with P&O due to this. Some families were a tad ghastly but you can avoid them easily.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Relatively slow.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good however it failed to meet our standards on a couple of occasions due to high demand in the MDR.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We took part in a few activities including a Snowball Jackpot Bingo which was very good. There were quite a few family activities which aren’t a welcomed part of the daily programme to me.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Generally the entertainment was good but not great. The headliners were of a high standard however some of the lounge singers were borderline dreadful, they were amusing for the wrong reasons.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. I couldn’t fault them whatsoever.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The Ventura is a nice ship with an element of luxury and it is clean however I think that Ventura needs just a small refurb (eg carpets and upholstery)

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Superior Deluxe Balcony. The cabin was spacious and comfortable. Be warned that the balcony is overlooked, it isn’t too bothersome.

Ports of call

La Palma, Canary Islands
