The ship is long in the tooth with raggedy upholstery on seats with failing foam cushions that have been sat in so long they are shaped like peoples’ butts. The App DOES NOT WORK. Orders placed on it NEVER arrive, and the Chat function is useless, taking 45 minutes for someone to respond only to tell you the App is not working. The food in the cafeteria-style buffet is awful. Any food you order ...
The thing that made Holland stand out from other Cruise lines and was a tradition is now gone.
On every Holland ship you could count on there would be a Priest. But now you are like any other cruise line a real disappointment.
Embarkation was a slow painful process it seems that Vancouver is becoming harder and harder to board. The ship was fine and the personnel were pleasant and ...
Celebrity Millennium, 7 day southbound Hubbard Glacier from Seward to Vancouver
Concierge class cabin
19-26 May 2023
I’d never been on a cruise until 11 months ago and just finished my third. May never reach “105” that the most cruised passenger onboard ship had, but that’s a worthy goal. Booked short notice as the ship was only 50% capacity and got a great offer through Celebrity Blue ...
The sheets had holes!
The curtains were stained!
The food gave me food poisoning!
Extremely understaffed!
I asked for a refund on my gratuities and they confirmed on board that I would. I have been on the phone with them for a full hour and all they could say is “Sorry no, we already paid the workers.” This would be an improper charge if they said they would give me a refund but ...
This was our 12th cruise on Princess. We were on the Royal Princess, a beautiful ship. We were booked in a mini-suite, mid-ship deck 10. Great location, close to everything. From the time we arrived at the pier we were onboard in about 40 minutes. There was some confusion about what to do with luggage but it was resolved and everyone was on there way to the ship.
We were onboard early but ...
Friends invited us to join them on a cruise to Alaska. I've never been on a cruise before and was really nervous about being on the water. It was perfect weather for t shirts and shorts the entire trip. We went to Juneau, Sitka, etc. We saw whales, black bears, sea otters, seals, eagles and lots of seagulls. There were very few vegan or plant based options. Only almond milk as a non dairy ...
I'll break this into pros and cons.
PROS. The ship is a perfect size with a good layout. It is generally clean. Very little vibration and mostly at the back. Seemed to be in good repair. I found the beds a little hard but my wife liked them.
THE FOOD. Generally good and better than many other lines. Buffet selections varied from day to day with some common themes like Asian, Carving ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and May sailing. The ship overall is very clean and pretty but is showing a little bit of wear and age. The crew is excellent and really makes this ship special. Our room steward was the best we have had on ten plus cruises. The staff in the Blu restaurant were excellent and the food overall was very good and wonderfully presented. The buffet was very ...
We joined a group of friends on this 11 day Alaska cruise. We have done several Alaska cruises and it is a favorite of ours. Most of our group had never been on a cruise before and/or had never been on an Alaska cruise. NCL started on the wrong foot. This was the ships first cruise to Alaska in 2023. They had just come off a bad stretch where the ship lost power and had other problems. After ...
The price for the Alaskan trip was amazing, so we booked it! The weather wasn't too bad and sailing was great, very smooth. What saw was amazing, I will cruise again to Alaska, looking at late July or early August for my next one. Also wanted to try a new cruise line. The Jewel is an amazing ship the entire staff was so great, very helpful, from the minute you arrive to board the ship, to ...
