It is great to be cruising again, this is our 3rd post Covid cruise, the other two were on Crystal’s Serenity (July) and Symphony (December). Today is packing day so I thought I would post this review.
I have been traveling for business during the COVID era so I usually mask, sanitize, and keep distances having in last year been to Spain, Dubai, Doha, Israel, Austria, and Germany. Been lucky ...
I am a long time Silversea passenger and have sailed on almost all of their boats including two previous trips on the Muse.
While the shore excursion team, housekeeping staff, our butler, waitstaff etc were all excellent and went above and beyond my expectations to make our vacation wonderful, the food quality and restaurant options were very poor on this trip. This was my third cruise since ...
The cruise just prior to ours was apparently the cruise from hell (see previous reviews) with ship breakdown, missed ports and time delays. Thankfully everything seemed to be corrected for our departure. Other than today's typical airline horror stories, which we just barely missed, we arrived in Vancouver at 4:30 in the morning, of departure day. Therefore, our free day in the departure city ...
This was my first cruise with Oceania, but we have been on multiple cruises before (starting with Carnival long ago, also Azamara and Windstar). I greatly appreciated the ability to read reviews on this site, so I will try to give a very thorough review.
This cruise was outstanding, and we love Oceania now. We chose Oceania for the itinerary to Alaska (especially in and out from Seattle which ...
Pros:
*Cunard’s unable to improve its service. It is ‘top notch’ with exemplary care provided by the crew.
*Ship is well appointed with class throughout.
*Good instrumental entertainment.
*MDR cuisine is mostly innovative and exceptional.
*Cunard ‘knows how’ to make coffee unlike the insipid liquid served on many other lines.
*Embarkation well organized.
*Although the staff ...
The inside passage Cruise departed Seward Alaska on 23Jun2022 and arrived Vancouver on 30Jun2022.
My wife and I were touring with two other couples. We booked on SilverSea based on the small ship, limited passengers, and reputation for a fantastic cruise experience. One of the other couples found this cruise line and time and we all agreed.
We also all three couples decided to do the 4-day ...
Alaska cruise from Vancouver to Seward - a fantastic way to see Alaska! However - the actual cruise was disappointing. The "entertainment" on board was outdated and like a high school talent hour. It was so bad that it was laughable. The restaurant choices were poor, the only variety offered from the on board restaurants required a supplemental charge. The complimentary house wines were ...
We had heard excellent reports on Silverseas from friends who had travelled with them. So when we decided to take a cruise to Alaska they were the obvious choice. The cruise was delayed by one say due to problems on the previous cruise. There was little or no information provided by the company and no member of staff from Silverseas came to the hotel where the majority of the passengers were ...
Cruise was satisfactory, however the staff was inadequate and inexperienced. We were disappointed that there seemed to be no serious attempt at providing the social experience or entertainment experience that had been advertised and promised. We were continually told that the staff was short due to covid.
We were continually asked by the staff how we wanted something, food or service, then ...
This was our third cruise on the QE – and the second time in Princess Grill on this ship. A detailed review of the ship is not necessary as there has been plenty written about it. I will just mention a few things that are outstanding: I think the Grand lobby, the Royal Court Theatre and the Commodore Club are the finest we have experienced on any ship. The elegant two-storey library gets an ...
