Fantastic cruise to the Caribbean on a lovely ship, not too big but provided everything we needed. The weather was lovely so no complaints there. The food was exceptional whether we went to the buffet or the dining room. Various dining times meant that whenever you wanted to eat, there was always something available. The staff were always very courteous and helpful. Plenty of entertainment to suit everyone again at different times to allow you to arrange your activities around. There was always something going on that no matter what your interests were, you could always be entertained. at the same time you could find a quiet corner just to read a book, if you wanted. I can thoroughly recommend a cruise on Ventura.

I had a double balcony cabin for single use i had L202 which was a metal balcony, but that didn't bother me. Lovely cabin, got lots of sun all the way to the Caribbean. Walked at some beautiful places and my favourite trip was St Lucia by land and Sea, great day and great value for money. Only disappointment was we couldn't get to Prair de Vitoria in the Azores which should of been our last stop so 10 days at sea due to an incoming storm.

The ship is getting tatty, but I gather it is having a refit soon.
Main lifts are too far away from main areas.
Lunch time dining was poor with little in the way of starter or main meal choices. Breakfast buffet was good as was freedom dining in the evening with Christmas dinner particularly good.
The car parking was excellent, but the welcome inside the terminal was very chaotic though disembarking was excellent.
Three days at sea is not a good idea and was particularly bad considering the dreadful weather conditions we had.
Excursions are still far too expensive which is a shame as many are very interesting.

Food excellent,plenty of choices. hygiene excellent always cleaning making it safe. entertainment first class,probably the best of all the ships I have cruised on. staff so friendly,atmosphere is great….
My only criticism is the ship is old,and it is so noisy at night it creaks it bangs not a ship to go on for a good nights sleep. that is her only downfall p&o please fix it because we had the best cruise
