Good Points

St. petersburg, weather not so good but tours exceptional to Heritage Museums also Oslo Fantastic, Weather very hot, docked a short walk from town. Entertainment very good on board but Theatre shows repeats of 2008


Bad Points

Running of Ship. Lack of Information and communication by Capatin and Crew. They all appear to have been told to say little


General Comments

On our way back to Southampton from May/June Baltic Cruise. We inherited NOVA VIRUS from previous cruise to the Norway Fjords, they had we are told 400 cases. The ventura has throughout our cruise been under severe restrictions with Captains welcome night cancelled, Portunis Night cancelled. All condiments removed from restraunts. Beach House Restraunt Closed for entire 14 day Cruise only One half of Waterside restraunt open for entire cruise resulting in very long queues at meal times as all food is being served by waiters- you are not allowed to select your own food. We estimate good number of Nova Virus cases still on board. Items are constantly being closed or cancelled. Captain or senior crew have not been seen onboard and we think that he must be a cardboard cut out. Carpets are being changed in some areas of the ship where they are very dirty and being replaced each day by Non Matching pieces of carpet in cabin corridors. This is reality on Ventura during the past two weeks. I have been on ventura in 2008 and could not fault it but some thing these weeks has not been right. Waiters do not seen jovial....Southampton Tomorrow.

  • new cruiser on 21st Jun 2009

    I found this review unhelpful because... we have booked to go on ventura june 2010 ,and have read several reviews about nova virus.Ihope we will have a chance to change cruise if it happens next year .This will be our first cruise and has taken a lot of thought about cruising.
