Azura Reviews

Very good value for money. No problems at all.

We enjoyed our cruise, and thank you Iglu for setting it all up, will cruise with P&O again.

Just returned from Iberian cruise on P&O Azura, booked through Iglu. Really enjoyed the cruise and ports, quite rough going through the Bay of Biscay for 2 days, but weather after that was lovely. Been on this ship before, lovely ship, although could do with a dedicated cinema like on Royal Caribbean. Found Iglu very good, was concerned after reading some adverse reviews but we rang Iglu twice for help and they were excellent.

Excellent cruise ship, and very well run by the Captain and maintained standards were high. The entertainment was excellent and the food absolutely beyond compare, whether formal dining or buffet, and nothing was ever too much trouble for the staff. Will definitely book again, cannot wait to experience this wonderful atmosphere of friendliness and efficiency by all staff onboard plus the wonderful new friends made amongst fellow passengers.

Great ship and good stops in Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar. Would recommend to anyone who wants a good holiday with likeminded people and quality food, entertainment and service.

Azura 15/10/14 We had a nice cruise on Azura, weather good, ship comfortable clean and stewards and waiters very attentive the entertainment was very enjoyable especially Manuel Martinez comedy magician and the stage shows excellent. There was one very disappointing aspect and we weren't informed before we got there, the ballroom although small anyway in the Atrium was out of action as we love dancing this was a minus especially when the alternative floor that was used had tables and chairs on it leaving only enough room for half a dozen couples to dance,we gave up in the end. Sorry to see the end of silver service also which always was an extra nice touch. Overall we enjoyed the cruise but if you like ballroom dancing and the usual ball nights Azura is not the ship for you.

The Azura was excellent, everyone who worked on the ship that we came in contact with were helpful and cheerful at all times.The entertainment was excellent as was the dining. I would definitely recommend the Azura.

My 87 year old mum and myself had a 17 day med cruise in sept. We loved the balcony cabin we had, very clean and Cedric the cabin steward made sure we had everything we needed and was extremely proffessional. The Oriental restaurant was also so clean and the sevice by the waiters were the best we have had. Even though we found the ship very big we enjoyed every minute and looking to book again. A ray of sunshine came into our cabin every morning and it wasnt the sun, it was Ajay the breakfast room service, loved him as he was smiling and happy and made us feel the same, well done to the staff on this ship.

Great ship, all the crew were very good, look forward to the next cruise.

This is our 5th cruise with P&O but the first on the Azura. Our cabin was on A deck starboard side at the rear of the amidships section. On arrival we found it to be clean and tidy and within a few minutes Cedric our cabin steward arrived to introduce himself. Our suitcases had all arrived within an hour. We requested and got a 8 persons table this was in the Peninsular restaurant and the first evening meal was excellent. Our waiters Sanjay and Ranjith were very friendly and by the end of the cruise knew what we liked and how we liked it. The ships entertainment staff were a great bunch the quizzes were great and for the first time we had Wii Bowling which was great fun. Plenty of shows and deck games. The seascreen and the Malabar cinemas showed some good films, horse racing and there was BINGO. The jackpot on the last night was £1715. The port stops on this trip were quite short and we called at Gibraltar, Messina, Corfu, Dubrovnik, Venice, Malta & Cadiz. Some were better than others but the star was Venice. At all the ports the weather was dry and very sunny but in Venice it was crystal clear and the humidity was low following a violent thunderstorm the night before. I loved Venice, never been before, and would like to go back again, the sail in and sail away are truly spectacular. The only port I didn't like was Messina, to many local taxi drivers and sight seeing guides bothering us, trying to get us into their taxis etc, and they won't take no for an answer. Corfu was excellent, so clean and the locals made us welcome. Malta, loves the Brits and they always give you a good deal and time. We had 5 black tie nights and 4 smart nights. The rest were dead casual. During this cruise we had one rough night on the way out, but not bad, even the Bay of Biscay was like a mill pond on the way back.  We really enjoyed this cruise and we were reluctant to get off back in Southampton on the 1st Oct! 7 nights of excellent travel and fun. Thanks to the crew of Azura.
