We booked this cruise last minute as it seemed to be a good deal with a reduced drinks package fee and complimentary balcony upgrade. We had heard mixed reviews from other cruisers but as it was a good price we were willing to give it a go.
Overall impression of the ship - really beautiful aesthetic and the galleria area is impressive, however, on an evening when there are events happening the ...
Booked this cruise over a year ago to go in search of the northern lights. Relocation cruise prior to ours was cancelled due to an outbreak of gastrointestinal cases. This meant some hygiene restrictions were still in place for first few days. This did lead to some inconvenience and slow service. Some toilets were closed. After three days the restrictions were lifted and everything got back to ...
We rebooked on another bargain cruise in Yacht club on Euribia. We loved every minute and look forward to returning soon.
The yacht club is well run and all our needs were met. Fabulous staff including butler Abhi and assistant butler Timmy who spoiled us rotten. Any issues were immediately rectified by them along with the excellent concierge team.
Food was top notch and restaurant staff ...
When reading the Hurtigruten publicity for the refitted Trollfjord you would expect to find an exquisite small cruise ship, what you get is an overcrowded cheaply converted coastal ferry.
The standard cabins are small with low cost fittings. Our bathroom cabinet didn’t close and the shower fitting fell to bits. The bed was uncomfortable.
Dinning was not the highlight one would hope for. ...
We got a good deal on this ship and needed to use 5 days leave-had cruised on the Magnifica a few years so thought it would be good as a new ship. Beautiful, shiny, glossy and sparkly with fabulous entertainment and brilliant proper dining in the restaurants in the evening, however beware.
Horrendously expensive to buy anything-65 Euros EACH for a T-bone,1 Euros for a large Toblerone! Serious ...
My family decided to try a cruise as a potential new style holiday with small kids (4 & 1). My wife has cruised once before with RC and was quite seasick but it was a first for the rest of us and we thought we would give cruising one last chance before deciding on future vacations.
We went into the cruise with fairly modest expectations having spent much time reading reviews on here and ...
Under no circumstances would I ever sail with MSC again. The cabin (while very comfortable) was on deck 9 (directly above the lounge). There is no soundproof beneath the cabin and thus was forced to listen and "feel" the music into the wee hours of the night. When we went to guest services - we were told the cruise is full and there would be nothing they could do. So, EVERY night of the cruise, we ...
My daughter wanted to visit Holland as her grandmother was Dutch, we had to travel in the school holiday as she works in a school. There were several issues we had; we had a lovely relaxing couples massage and then experienced a hard sell of the products, practically being 'tricked' into saying yes. My daughter wanted to buy a drinks package but,apparently we both had to purchase a package,which ...
This was our first and last MSC cruise. We have used many other cruise companies all of which are far superior.
Highlights.
Nice boat, plenty to do and very well appointed and decorated. Great drinks package, premium drinks of a high quality all available within it. Ok entertainment. Not a patch on Royal Caribbean and others but they tried hard and it was entertaining if a little low rent ...
Oh, how we wanted to love our first Viking cruise! All the advertising and all our friends and family said Viking’s the best, with all-balcony staterooms, a truly all-inclusive program, no one under 18 and lectures instead of casinos.
And we fully understand that weather happens, and the storm that trapped the Viking Venus in Tromsø, Norway, definitely was beyond Viking’s control. And Viking ...
