Ventura Reviews

Excellent food in main restaurants, which neat that the specialist restaurants weren’t quite so special and not worth the additional charge. We enjoyed the quizzes but the venues were too small. We had to arrive half an hour early in order to find somewhere to sit.

Good staff all around ship, food was good at the all the free locations. Plenty of bar staff in venues. Pulse band were one of the best we have seen, seen around 8 now. Music in main theatre a bit loud on some numbers. Like the layout of this ship.

Wonderful cruise and great ship. The entertainment was exceptional and the food amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially the waiter and serving staff. Everything was very clean The communications were excellent and the captain always maintained a very nice tone Only comments getting tables in the buffet and bars was difficult and they were always too busy. Overall excellent, many thanks to all

Generally good but several lifts out of order causing delays. Missing Lisbon was a disappointment. Buffet meals were reasonable but somewhat repetitive.

Very much like Butlins at sea. Food wholesome but not much variety and the speciality restaurants were £35 per head. Shortage of crew although those who did serve were nice. Stateroom only one turn down per day and did not get hoovered every day. Very average overall but not the cheapest. There are better cruise lines out there offering better service and value for your money. This was our fourth P&O trip and have decided its not the cruise lines for us.

Enjoyable for the price. Did pay select price but parking was full so didn’t utilise this , requested table for 2. Was give table for 10 ? Asked to be relocated and turned down flat. There’s better p&o ships. I’ll not return… crew very friendly with the exception of one …

Cruise was OK very disappointed that Portugal was cut out the day before leaving as that was why i booked. Boarding was not an issues but getting off was as we had to sit on the coach nearly two hours waiting for two people, I think it was very over priced for the solo traveller, Classic drinks package was very good, Balcony had paint over one chair and Bird poo on the other one,Bar staff and Restaurant staff were excellent more than i can say for the reception team.

An old ship with lots of maintenance problems whilst I was onboard: most of the Gents toilets stank and often the taps in public washrooms were out of action which makes hygiene a problem. The food and evening entertainment were excellent and our cabin was very comfortable.

We were really surprised how friendly this ship is wonderful staff especially our waiters in the bay tree restaurant Sentihil and anya who served us every evening at table 73 The ship was decorated for Christmas whilst we were on. Done during the night so something new every day Entertainment has changed some really good shows. Will definitely be going on Ventura again c

A smaller more personal ship. Staff are helpful and entertainment was fair. Food was excellent . Shore excursions were good and we really enjoyed Puerto Mogan
