Ventura 31 October 2015

[dominicana]

Hi. Is anyone going on this cruise?

[louthebowler]

No, but have been looking at it today. We are dithering between this one or azura transatlantic. Are you on it?

[sandancer]

We are thinking of booking but have never cruises with P&O. We usually cruise with Celebrity (yes, I know I am comparing apples with oranges) an American cruise line and a British line. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

Celebrity has many fans of course, as does P&O and having done both (and various other lines!) we prefer P&O. There are several reasons for this:

 

1. the choice of itineraries from Southampton.

2. better evening entertainment

3. more sociable for us as a couple

4. UK prices with no 15% gratuity on every drink

 

We enjoy every cruise we're on and aren't nit-pickers / moaners. P&O isn't perfect but the overall their package suits us.

That seems like a very fair comparison. Your first point is the most relevant for us. So tired of those awful Transatlantic flights. We are also about to try Cunard for the first time. Time to branch out methinks.

Hello amajaa. Found the roll call and I will sign up if we decide to go ahead. We are also looking at booking a land stay in Lanzarote for 2 weeks but I keep comparing it with everything you get on a cruise compared with 2 weeks b&b for much the same price. Hope you get to try the Eclipse. We did the TA recently and had a great time.

Hi louthebowler. Yes, I have booked the Ventura. Looking foward to my second cruise.

Myself and my wife booked this cruise yesterday.

We went around the Canaries last October on the Emerald princess, but have no worries about returning with P&O. ( first time with p&o)

Loved the itinerary, including 3 ports we didn't do last year, the weather is constant all year round, so at the price, a no brainer for us.

Hope you all decide to book, and see you aboard!!!
