Review summary
4th cruise with P&O and again found it very relaxing and enjoyable, Ventura has a lovely atmosphere and doesn't feel too big. P&O dealt with covid changes as best they could and the onboard LFT testing for Portugal was very quick, easy and smoothEmbarkation
Very well organised and not too lengthy given the number of people requiring covid tests
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Rarely used the MDR as didn't like the menus much. Choice was excellent for breakfast and lunch in self serve buffet. Beach House, Glass House and Sindhu were great. Good selection of vegan and GF food which was nice to see
Onboard Activities
Good selection as always
Entertainment
Shows we're great, shame some had to be cancelled at last minute. Guest Speakers were very popular
Service and Staff
Overall very good, but some slow service in Beach House
Ship Quality
Fourth P&O ship I've sailed on and had a lovely feeling to it. Was constantly being cleaned and spruced up, given her age she looks great
Cabin / Stateroom
We were on deck 10 with a larger balcony that was partially overlooked but it never bothered us, the extra space was worth it
Ports of call
Very pretty. Do take a jacket if going into the mountains as gets quite cold

Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Disembarkation
Could have been quicker, but it was actually passengers not doing as asked that caused the problems and not P&O
