Excellent cruise - our first time on Ventura and we loved her. Spotlessly clean cabin, friendly & attentive staff, good food, great entertainment, lovely weather at all ports (sadly there was a strike in Lisbon so had an extra day at sea)....

My Wife and I have sailed with P&O for over 15 years, never again! This was our 3rd time on Ventura, and the first after covid. It seems P&O are on a race to the bottom in the cruiseline stakes. Cost cutting...
