P&O Artemis Reviews

We joined Artemis at Hong Kong for a 34 night cruise around the far east on 22 Feb. 2011. It was my first cruise and it was a wonderful experience. The ship was great (although in need of a little maintenance) the staff and the food was far better than we expected, which was the reason for the extra pounds gained! The entertainment was superb, and we saw such great places. We were a little disappointed when we arrived at Hong Kong airport as 2 people did not show up and therefore reduced our time to see anything of Hong Kong except as we sailed away. Would loved to have spent more time at each resort but time was short at most stops. All in all a great trip and would certainly cruise again with P&O. We were most disappointed not stopping at the Seychelles even though this was on the itinerary, we were not told this had changed but we found out that P&O had changed this some time before our booking was made!!! Warren at Iglu helped us with our booking & he was very helpful, so we would also book again with Iglu. Thanks to everyone who made this a holiday to remember.

Baltic Capitals- this is our second and sadly our last voyage on wonderful Artemis. We know she creeks and vibrates, but she is friendly, she brings out the best in people. Captain David Perkins, what a great sense of humour, my kind of Captain. We where very lucky with the weather, St Petersburg was at least 102-3f, it was wonderful, but really, really hot. The trips were yet again expensive, drinks not bad at all. Food great, sometimes a little cool. Entertainment was great, the headliner company -FANTASTIC, Dave Kristian comedian brilliant, not many faults at all, was sad to say goodbye (we did try to get on the last trip, but it was sold out in about 5mins and we had about 9 sites on the go, oh well), She's off to Germany we hear, so perhaps we'll hear of her again under another name. I'm sorry but I don't think Adonia will live upto Artemis.

Norway, Iceland, Isle of Mann and Dublin. Embarkation at Southampton was very organized and we were soon on board the ship without any problems. Our stateroom was ready for us when we arrived, we had some problem with our luggage not arriving for some time and had to go and look for it. The stateroom was very nice and clean, and the steward very helpful and attentive. The menu in the Coral dining room is excellent as is the food and service at all the venues. I must mention the waiters and chefs, they are magnificent. We did use the Conservatory self service restaurant occasionally, the food was very good, but had to queue at busy times and difficult to find a table as the restaurant is not very large. We did not use the Grill. The entertainment on the ship was excellent in particular the Headliners Theater Company. We did find some vibration in certain areas of the ship but not enough to stop us from traveling on Artemis again, as we have booked another cruise on this ship.

Absolutely delighted with the ship, the service, the food and everything one can mention. My wife was disabled and we were treated in a most caring and courteous manner. It was a total pleasure to spend a week on board. We have two more cruises lined up on this ship.

My wife and I have just returned from a 31 day cruise from Valparaiso Chile to Southampton on Artemis and have nothing but praise for all sections of the crew they couldn't have been more helpful. The friendliness of the ship was very noticeable and would definitely cruise again on this ship
