Three weeks on Azura was something I would not want to experience again. Penny pinching has brought standards down drastically since my last cruise two years ago.
Food was dreadful, tough dried out meats, rubbery fish, tasteless soups and desserts. As a British ship one would expect a good choice of plain British food each day, but the chefs/cooks decided that everyone enjoyed spicy tasting food and left the persons who couldn’t tolerate spices with very little ( or no) choice at all.
Complaints were made to the chef in the buffet and the ones making the complaints were told “go to the main restaurant “. Quite an insult as the same persons had experienced the main dining restaurant serving the same heavily spiced foods which are intolerable to a person with serious health issues.
The staff and stewards were very efficient and helpful but the chefs need lessons in cooking skills.
P&O will never see another penny of ours, so, so disappointing with the cruise taken in March 2026 to the Canaries.
Beware anyone thinking of booking with P&O….read the reviews beforehand.
