Nottinghamshire couple's disappointment over 'awful' P&O Cruises

A Nottinghamshire couple left frustrated and angry with P&O Cruises said their experience on a European holiday had been 'awful'. Linda and David Cobby, aged 57 and 59, were both looking forward to spending some of their retirement money on a getaway, but have been left disappointed after a number of alleged issues disrupted their trip, including dirty cabins, mislabelled food, and smells of sewage.

The pair, from Harworth, had previously holidayed with P&O Cruises in March 2023 on a trip to the Caribbean and had been so impressed, they decided to book two back-to-back cruises which would both take place on the same P&O ship just two months later from May 5 to May 26 - costing a total of £3,400.

But they were unimpressed after their trip around the Norwegian Fjords, and then northern Europe and Scandinavia. Lynda said: "I think the whole theme is that it was just shambolic and farcical. It's just left us feeling really frustrated, angry and stressed."
