P&O Cruises, Ventura, Northern Europe Review

Ventura, Northern Europe

Minor negative point - the size and choice of the buffet - not up to modern standards or suitable for the number of passengers on a full ship. Food in tge buffet was good quality though.
Positives:
- Main dining rooms - good breakfast and good quality evening meals (although very UK-centric).
- Plenty of bars and lounges with lots of comfortable seating - despite the 3000+ passengers embarked you could always find somewhere to sit.
- Not an issue for us but good to see excellent access/mobility considerations.
- Deluxe balcony room was huge - and accommodated 3 adults perfectly. Yes the bathroom sink was a bit tired but everything was spotless and worked well. Beds (including sofa bed) very comfortable.
- Ship interior is in good condition throughout (compared to certain other "older" ships of other lines) - no evidence of wear and tear/age.
- Decent variety and quality of activities and entertainment.
- Reasonable drinks prices.

Overall - we enjoyed our time on Ventura, good value for money, and our daughter enjoyed her first cruise experience. We would be happy to book another Ventura cruise.
