UK school hol summer cruising - Ventura

[Dwalkerdave]

Hi everyone, only cruised with Princess and RCI outside school hols time.

 

Considering cruise next year but just how bad/good is P&O Ventura during school summer hols ? We would have a 13 year old with us.

 

Comments please from those who have travelled at this time of year in UK.

 

Thanks

My husband and I have sailed twice in the school holidays on Ventura. There were lots of children on board (500 +) but all very well behaved. The kids clubs keep them really well occupied and all seemed to have lots of fun. I am sure your 13 year old will have a ball.

Yes you 13 year old will have a great time. The kids clubs are one of the strong points of P&O.

 

Remember Ventura sailing out of Southampton next year will be different than this year with the fly cruising.

It very much depends where you are going. Med will have hundreds of children, Fjords far far fewer.

 

Even though we have an 8 year old, 500-600 children on board Ventura wouldn't be our first choice. IMHO the ship has far too little open deck space for the number of passengers wanting to use it in warm weather.

It does depend on the itiniary, but if its the Med then expect lots of kids. Whilst the kids clubs do a good job, there simply isnt enough space for another 500 passengers (kids).
