Azura Reviews

Fantastic Ship, as husband is disabled I was aprehensive about getting around, it turned out tht there were very few issues with level acess & low ramps in the most. The only issue I have is that the Promenade deck only had one wheelchair automatic door which kept breaking! The cruise was extremely comfortable & all staff were cheerful & friendly. Beds were comfy & I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Restaurants were great & the food mostly delicious but with soo much choice everybody gained a few pounds. The restaurant staff take hygenie very seriously & all diners are required to use the hand wash before entering any food area. Entertainment was varied from cards, dance classes, golf, helth takls & cooking demos, during the day & live entertainments & thetre plays it was hard to decide which o see. Definatley looking forward to being back onboard in the future.

This is a nice ship and staff were excellent. The decor is looking a bit dated, but after our cruise the ship was going to Hamburg for a refit so should be ok in the future.

We have just completed our first Caribbean cruise which we enjoyed tremendously. Only criticism, well two actually! 1. Cabin C 207 ia rather noisy as it seems to be above the Playhouse Theatre, so of course you get the sound travelling upwards during rehersals and performances. 2. We understand that alot of the experienced staff were "poached" (heresay) to staff the Brittania. The service in the dining room was not upto the usual standard, This would not prevent us from travelling on the P & O ships again. Many thanks for the efficient way that you handled our booking.

A very pleasant trip from start to finish, transfers from airport to ship and back were excellent. The ship was wonderful and food very good. I would definitely use P&O again and would have no hesitation in booking through Iglucruise.

Fantastic ship. Great rooms. Great service. Fantastic facilities cannot wait to book again. Loved the sun screen. Would benefit from a drinks package.

Just returned from Caribbean after 2 weeks on Azura. Flew on Dreamliner from Birmingham which was excellent. Really enjoyed the ship. Only criticism was allowing passengers to smoke on deck 15 . The smoke gathers in the covered walkway and is very unpleasant. In my opinion smoking should only be allowed on deck 16 in the open air. The deck toilets also need more frequent cleaning on sea days. Food was excellent. Service excellent. Beds very comfortable. When I started going on PO they used to have a pre dinner show, this is no longer the case. I was on second sitting 8.30 . The meal normally finished at 10.20 only 10 mins to the show. With a full stomach and a late show I slept through every show. It would be lovely to see the return of the pre dinner show.

Overall a great Caribbean cruise on Azura departed on 10th Jan 2015. Food and entertainment were excellent as were the ports of call. On the downside P&O tend to be expensive, particularly the tours. Recommend using the tours available privately when you go ashore. Also the onboard Internet is hideously expensive and slow. Go ashore and get free wifi at Burgerking, KFC or on the beaches where free wifi is often included with sunbed hire. Some of the Azuras decor is beginning to look a bit tired but I believe a refit is due this year. A big bonus for us was a free cabin upgrade which Iglu will request on your behalf.

This was our second Caribbean cruise on Azura in January. P&O seem to be cutting back on staff and quality of food. Azura is a comfortable ship although our balcony cabin on deck 11 was smaller than a balcony cabin on Thomson Celebration. The entertainment wasn't as good as last year, and it was virtually impossible to see a show in the playhouse and then see an artist in manhatton bar due to lack of seats. The weather was excellent but the shore excursions were ridiculously expensive, there were four of us and we paid about a quarter of their price by getting local taxis ,the drivers were usually very friendly and happy to do exactly what you wanted to do. Lastly we were told that to book for next year P&O were going to charge an extra £100 to fly from Manchester! 

Just returned from East Caribbean cruise on Azura. Found P&O the best cruise liner for ease of transfer from airport and embarking and disembarking at each port. Fast, painless and staff very pleasant. The food onboard was excellent. Our sitting was second sitting in peninsula restaurant. Staff were excellent. Food very good, however by the time we had finished our meal at 10pm the venues with evening entertainment were full and standing room only . The shows were definitely geared towards the first seated diners at 6.30pm. Would have been better if shows started at 7.30 pm and 8.45pm rather than second show at 11.30pm, by this time our eyes were closing! The cabins , We had balcony are very good . Plenty of storage and cabin staff excellent. A lot of children onboard and perhaps it would be an idea to restrict the pools they can use. Was one pool onboard at Oasis which was adult only. No sun beds in this area and pool sign says restricted to 12 persons at a time! With over 3000 guests onboard! Another pool aft , Terrace pool would have been ideal for adults. Difficult to relax and swim with children diving jumping and splashing. Not meant as moan as I have two children also but it would have been nice to be able to relax and unwind properly. On sea days it was impossible to get a sunbed unless you were willing to get up at 6am and put a towel down, this could have been supervised better by pool staff . Beds sat for hours with towels on but no bums when others couldn't get beds. These are meant only as subjective observations as the staff food and drinks value for money compared to other cruise companies was excellent.

Had a great time onboard The Azura. The ship was spotlessly clean and the food was tremendous.
