P&O Cruises, Ventura, Mediterranean Review

Ventura, Mediterranean

Following a difficult couple of years it was clear that ship and crew were trying their best to ensure all guests had a wonderful cruise. The embarkation process was a tad difficult due to testing which was carried out by an independent company who were very disorganised. Apart from that, I cannot fault the service, food ( which was extremely good) or entertainment. We didn’t take part in shore excursions however reports from other guests were great and they said good value for money with expert guides. We particularly liked the conversations given by the bridge crew over the PA system (due to covid restrictions) which were informative and entertaining and we awaited these each day! The guest services staff did their best to solve the daily issues that arise with mixed success, however the waiting and cabin staff were excellent, smiling all the time behind their compulsory face masks. We would return to Ventura with P and O without a doubt.
