louthebowler Posted June 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2015 No, but have been looking at it today. We are dithering between this one or azura transatlantic. Are you on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted June 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanexile81 Posted June 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2015 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.

sandancer Posted June 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amajaa Posted June 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Hiya Dominicans yes we are on this cruise. I starting a thread in the rollcall forum earlier, but I see you have already found that. In case anyone else is on this cruise here's the link http://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2220460# Hi Sandancer and tartanexcile81 I am hoping to try Celebrity Eclipse sometime, am keeping a look out for deals Edited June 10, 2015 by amajaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandancer Posted June 10, 2015 #7 Share Posted June 10, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicana Posted June 10, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Hi louthebowler. Yes, I have booked the Ventura. Looking foward to my second cruise. Edited June 10, 2015 by dominicana Spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c*r*u*I*s*e Posted June 11, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2015 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!!! Steve n Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
