Ventura Cruise Reviews - Reviews

A cruise for R&R with plenty of sunshine and a good variety of ports.

Enjoyed the cruise, been on Ventura before and she's a nice ship, their was a lot of maintenance going on we were warned of some before we sailed, a lot of painting especially on the promenade deck with a strong smell of paint. The cruise itself was good sorry we missed out on Lanzarote. We do prefer the smaller ships Aurora and Arcadia are the only ones now. The sea days were good went to talks, watched films, relaxed on the prom deck reading a very enjoyable cruise.

A stop gap cruise before sailing to the Canaries next month. Worthwhile if a first time cruiser to give insight of what a holiday at sea is like.

Great family time together, no cooking, washing or cleaning. It was annoying the amount of time you could wait to be served though.

We had a great time! We had read a few bad reviews of Ventura but other than the small TVs I’m not sure what there was to find fault with. It was very busy on the outer decks but the Retreat was a godsend.

Based on this cruise I will certainly never be sailing on Ventura again. The ports were pleasant enough. The entertainments manager adored his own voice. If he gave a notice once he gave it a dozen times. That certainly killed any idea of relaxing.

It was a brilliant cruise, the destinations were all interesting and had interesting attractions close to the Ports which was useful as we like to venture on our own. Would visit this ship again and the destinations.

Great holiday, ship starting to look a little dated

Relaxing cruise which we went on purely for the sunny destinations.

As a new cruiser I learnt so much in a short space of time and can't wait for my next cruise armed with all my new found knowledge. The week wasn't without its dramas on occasions, but I overall a fabulous experience I am very thankful I could have!

What can I say so Much happened on this cruise from flooding very bad weather missed ports some passengers should not be on a po ferry let alone a cruise ship

Relaxing few days away. Much cheaper than flying and finding a hotel room.

Overall we enjoyed ourselves on a relaxed 5 night sailing but that was probably because we had a drinks package as the service was terrible from the bars to the main dining room and the state of the ship and cabin was verging on unacceptable. Would not return to Ventura anytime soon.

Very very disappointed in this cruise experience one can only hope it improves for the future? I think Ventura’s days are limited🤫

Good value cruising for a short break. Cabin was a nice layout with good use of mirrors to make the space feel bigger.

Ventura was a happy boat, we could hear the sailaway’s from our balcony and the band singing were great !!! As were the crowd ! Sweet Caroline ! Ventura was a lovely ship, Unfortunately hubby was poorly ( nothing to do with the ship and defo not covid as we tested) so we didn’t visit a couple of ports or use some of the facilities but we would happily sail on her again !

Lovely cruise ship very clean food always good and fab entertainment

Overall we had a lovly time on P&Os Venture and would definatly do again (:
