P&O Norwegian Fjords Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of P&O Cruises to Norwegian Fjords (2024)

3.7

Currently on cruise number 25 or 26 but first on P&O. To start on positive the internet is the best we've experienced at sea and the food in main restaurants is excellent, amongst best we have had at sea (apart from the buffet which is amongst the poorest). The main problem with the ship, part from it being very very dated, is that the logistics, moving and organising people is just utterly

My wife and I saved up for a honeymoon cruise to Norway. Everything we saw suggested that Iona would be a luxury and peaceful resort at sea; it was our first cruise and we were both quite excited. We ended the experience tired and depressed.Firstly, the good. The cabin was really nice, we booked a Conservatory Mini-Suite which was spacious and afforded us some pretty sea views. We luckily

Pros - - Never felt crowded. - modern clean ship.- plenty of bars. - Food was good, and enjoyed the choice of where to eat.- sizeable gym. - entertainment that I managed to see was good. The bookable ones in 710 I couldn’t get too. Comedian had me crying with laughter. - captain was actually funny when he would talk over the tannoy. - onboarding and disembarkation

...

A very mixed bag, good fun but not a classy experience! Cabins are small though look nice, but wardrobes too small to hold a jacket or a long dress, very reminiscent of a static caravan; not a luxury room. The food was mixed, but only the Glass house and the Keel and Cow ( it's steaks) shone, Sindu was bland and the buffet is very limited and dull and the haunt of some very rude and greedy people.

...

I am, of course, referring to the 1 star/'don't go on Arvia' reviews and not the ship itself! Arvia is a big, busy ship with plenty going on throughout the day and late into the evening.Six of us were on this holiday across three generations: 2 x 2 years and under, 2 in their 40s and 2 over the age of 65. We had a great time and the any 'issues ' we had with Arvia did not detract from a great

Overall we enjoyed the cruise and the locations were excellent. Our cabin was a very different story. We were on deck 15A, directly under the swimming pool. The noise and vibrations, especially in the early mornings (anywhere between 6.30 and 7.30) of sunbeds being dragged across the decks woke us every day. The cabin was generally noisy throughout the day, but it was the mornings that

I sailed on P&O Iona on a solo cruise from Southampton to Norway at the start of May 2024 and overall I was very happy with the cruiseI was staying in an interior room at the front of the ship on deck 14. The room itself was nice and large enough for 1 or 2 people, the room was very similar to the internal room that I stayed in on the Costa Smerelda, which isn’t too surprising as it is the

Frequent cruisers but first (and last) time we'd go with P&O. Generally the entire thing felt disorganised and designed to milk as much money out of you as possible. Appreciate everyone has a different experience and maybe ours was exceptionally bad but wouldn't book again based on much better experiences with other cruise lines.The drinks package appears to be somewhat of a scam. Things like

Do not book in advance! We booked many months ago and the price fell considerably in the three months before sailing! No on-board credit or compensation was offered (P&O used to do this). Hold your nerve - there are plenty of last-minute deals available for this massive ship.The cruise itself was good. The food was good and the service in the Pearl restaurant was excellent. The same could not

Our honest cruise review. For background, i have done 142 nights at sea on cruises since 2008. We were allocated a fabulous cabin in a great location, it was right at the start of the corridor so no long walks from the stairs or the lifts and perfect for skydome, taste 360, the horizon and the epicurean and crows nest was only up one flight of stairs so again very quick from the bar to the
