So pleased it went well for you

[@Rumchaser]

You may have restored my faith in P&O again Jamie. We went on Azura to the Caribbean for our 1st cruise way back in 2012 when it was only 18months old in its original splendour and had the best time. Really enjoyed watching your vidoes, keep them coming.

[@swissanon8125]

I think we were disembarking as you joined the ship. It was a great cruise and the staff were excellent. We stayed onboard and barely went off. It was nice to have such a quiet ship when everyone else had disembarked. The free restaurants were great. We loved the planet bar. Malabar was also great.

Wonderful vlog, my darlings 😊 Your welcome home from your für babies was gorgeous 😍

[@teresajarkowska5792]

You clearly had a great time on this ship and things were made better with decent flights (ignoring the slight seating hiccup). It was lovely to see Mt Teide in all its glory. I was lucky enough to be able to walk to the summit before it was closed to the public but the trip up on the cable car is well worth it for anyone contemplating it. Your shots from the plane on return show how arid the southern part of the island is. There is no doubt, you are so right about being able to travel outside of the school holiday season making a great difference. Retirement is wonderful as far as this is concerned😊😊. Looking forward to your next videos.

[@martinemery9877]

Understand all the problems previously reference the flights and naturally people’s option of P&O because of that but I think overall the cruise part and flights on the majority of cruises are normally excellent and on all my cruises that I’ve experienced I’ve always had the greatest regard for the cruises I’ve taken with P&O so one bad apple doesn’t rot the whole bag !! Glad you had a good time and hopefully your faith is being restored

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Alas, it’s how they deal with issues that makes a difference to my perspective of them and it was handled badly! But I can separate that from What was a different a very lovely Experience on Azura ❤️❤️❤️

We were on the week before you guys really enjoyed it overall. Fantastic crew, good service, entertainment hit and miss, little to no queues at the bars until very late in the evenings, ie malabar and brodies. Favourite go to place on the ship, deck 18 and planet bar, Juan the pianist was taking requests, laughed my backside off when several went up and asked him , just play forget the singing, it was also the place for solo get togethers and the twice weekly lgbtq socials. After being back for 3 weeks , heard from P&O customer services, due to our cabins plumbing issue offered a big chunk of on board spends on the next booking good for 2 years. who needs a flushing loo or water in the bathroom,lololo.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

Glad you enjoyed your cruise too!

Enjoyed this little series a lot and am now looking forward to my fly cruise out of Malta in April and my first time on Azura. Couldnt agree more with you regarding the standard of service being more important than maybe a few well worn areas on board. Its nit picking, in my opinion.

[@TravelBlogJamie]

You are sometimes asked to take them ashore and it depends on your port (ie in New York we had to show ours on arrival). My last 2 cruises I haven’t had to.

Hi Jamie, brilliant.... love this series. Very helpful. Thank you. I dont know if this is where i should ask, but here goes. We travel on Azura, 30th May out of Valletta, my daughter (28) has an eating disorder. In the MDR or specialist restaurant, if i order off menu can she order something else, ie a pizza? Or do you know is there a kids menu and could she order off this ? Or do we both have to eat separately. Thank you
