Amsterdam to Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise Reviews

This was our 8th cruise with Oceania and our first after the pandemic. Some have mentioned that the ship decor is dated, which I agree with, however, I heard they are renovating the ship in a few months. The restaurants were great as usual - my favorite was Jacques. The spa was wonderful and the cooking class was a lot of fun. While there are still many things to love about Oceania - the ...

My wife and I have cruised all over the world and this was our 1st and last on NCL 1Embarkation was fast and simple. 2The room was spacious best ever for a Balcony class room. 3Room Steward was the best as usual 4Food selection was poor. The main Dining room menus were the same ALL 10 DAYS it may of had 5 main courses but the menu NEVER changed....... all the rest of the restaurants ...

Our 5th NCL cruise but the first in four years due to Covid and other stuff. OurNCL consultant encouraged us to book Prima as it was sailing when and where we wanted to go and it was brand new. We booked NCL airport transfers as we nearly missed one of our previous cruises however, we landed at 08.20 and no NCL rep. A kind rep from another company took us to "the meeting point". Still no NCL ...

We chose the September 9, 2022 sailing on NCL Prima because the NCL cruise consultant told us it was the inaugural cruise after the original inaugural in mid-August was cancelled due to supply chain issues (ie would not be ready in time to meet original plan), Embarkation in Amsterdam went smoothly for us once we informed people we had priority boarding. However, despite having chosen a ...

Took this NCL Prima cruise so we could visit a couple of countries we have never been to before, Negative bits first, the ship really is awful, outside looks like some wishy washy 90's retirement complex in Florida, inside is a mix of Holiday inn on a German industrial estate with again a 90's Arndale shopping mall feel to most of the public areas, there's not a piece of real timber or ...

We chose the Celebrity Apex September 1, 2022, sailing from Amsterdam, to explore England, Ireland and Northern Ireland. The original itinerary included a stop in Dublin, which was removed from our itinerary rather late in the game. We decided to take the cruise anyway, with an added stop in Portland/Dorset, UK. The ports were fabulous, and we mostly did non-ship shore excursions. The two ship's ...

This cruise was awesome! We ended our vacation at houseboat Tante Piet in Amsterdam for three nights. Great location and our host was fabulous! Nice to stay with the local folks. Disembarkation and Embarkation were a breeze! The ship is in need of a refurb but but otherwise in good shape. Beds are so so comfy. The crew were all fantastic as usual! Entertainment was good, what ...

We chose this cruise due to the variety of the intinerary. We had never sailed on Norwegian, but have had good experiences with lines as diverse as Carnival and Silversea. The embarkation point in Amsterdam was conveniently located to the City. The embarkation process itself was painfully long, chaotic and barely sanitary. The cabins were fine. A bit dated. No USB charging stations and the ...

This was my fifth cruise and the oldest and smallest ship I’ve been on. It was an excellent experience. The Dawn is still very well-maintained and didn’t feel dirty or old in the slightest. We reportedly had 1400 passengers onboard, so 60% capacity. The ship felt fully staffed and there were never long line-ups. Where it felt busy was when they closed the main dining rooms for lunch *and* ...

Let me start by saying we are not very experienced cruisers, so we don't have much comparison data. We booked this cruise to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The last cruise we took was on our honeymoon, 20 years earlier. Our decision to go with Norwegian was primarily because of the interesting and diverse itinerary, but to us, the absolute best part of the trip was the wonderful staff. ...
