Ventura Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Fabulous ship! Nicknamed the "rubber dinghy" by the kids! We travelled July 2016 to the canaries. All (bar our cabin steward and photographer's) were fabulous. Courteous, polite and friendly. From the captain to the cleaners. The food was outstanding throughout the ship. My only gripe was with............ Fellow passengers. I am a wheelchair user. I wish I wasn't. What I endured from my fellow man was diabolical. I was jumped over, ignored, bumped into, shoved out of the way, denied entry to the lift (everyday) and even got stuck in the lift as people wouldn't move out of the way to let me out!! 😬 😠 this however, has not put me off. I'm booked for azura this year and ventura for next!

This is a fabulous ship and was our first cruise. An absolute must is the Beach House restaurant; the food was sublime especially the steak served on the bakestone. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations and prompted our decision to cruise again.

This was our first ever cruise, it was such a special & happy time in our lives & cost our future a fortune as we got the bug 😃

Had really good holiday and found it easy to find my way around and found the ship very child friendly. Great entertainment and looking forward to our next cruise

This wasn't a very good experience as the cabins were not up to standards the bathroom was dirty and so were the cabins. The balcony had pieces of rust on the floor and needed a good clean. This wasn't a good first impression from P&O.

Really old and tired looking ship. Probably one of the tiredest ships I've seen. However cruise was fantastic and had a great time. Staff we ok. Not as good as Princess.

Sailed 23rd April to 5th May to Spain canaries and Portugal. Cabin very good. Some entertainment was OK loved triptonic and the flyrights. Embarkation was good

My first cruise with P&O Cruises (I normally choose Costa) and it definitely won’t be my last with P&O, great atmosphere onboard Ventura (formal and traditional), the ship design is lovely and well thought out. Clean throughout and the staff were excellent. The food in the MDR and other restaurants was amazing with excellent service!

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.

First time cruise. Loved Ventura. The food was excellent. Loved the ports. Think Madeira was my favourite. The weather was fab throughout. The entertainment was good. Plenty to do. Tried the line dancing class and it was good fun. Would highly recommend a balcony cabin on D deck. Plenty of space.

This was our first time cruising so was rather nervous, fortunately for us it was one of the best holidays we have had. We have become hooked and have had a cruise every year since. Our hope now was to take our family onto Ventura so they can see what a lovely ship it is, and hopefully they enjoy it as much as we have.

R&R cruise to meet up with family who we don't see often.

The worst cruse I've ever had food is not good entertainment no coment

Boring ship, mediocre food and entertainment, not enough sun beds for amount of people on board

Sunny weather and enjoyable ports. Plenty of opportunity to relax.

Girls break with family. Relaxed with good restaurant food.

An early Easter cruise so the Bay played up on the way down - typical lol. Weather could have been better but was mainly dry - only Vigo had rain

Excellent cruise. Great ship and crew and destinations. Much preferred it to arvia and iona.

Over all good cruise weather going out was very good food was better than last time on this. Ship

A relaxing cruise due to the sunny destinations. The Bay of Biscsy behaved itself too on both crossings. Remember to take high factor sun lotion as even in December, the sun was strong and UV high.
