My first time sailing with Cunard having sailed mainly with Royal Caribbean (14 cruises) and I was so disappointed.
1, the stateroom was nice but the balcony was stained and rusty.
2, the ship felt old and tired.
3, the shops on board catered for people who wanted expensive watches and jewellery, ladies clothes, booze and the normal Cunard material.
4, I didn’t purchase the $400+ ...
The ship is magnificent, although the recent refurbishment in 2023 didn't reach all the staterooms( not allowed to call them cabins), the carpet in our room was badly stained. When contemplating a cruise with Cunard get everything in writing, we spent 3 hours on the phone between NZ and Australia with the Cunard agent and decided to upgrade our stateroom to a room with an un-interrupted view, on ...
This is our 4th time on Grand Princess, and it is still a very nice ship, in spite of being their oldest. The Princess food experience remains very good, but they slip up in a few areas that would not have happened 5 years ago. Having also cruised with P&O and Cunard in the last 2 years, Princess are way ahead.
Our cabin has the usual issues of an older ship, very poor ergonomics, and very ...
did this trip four years ago same ship different ports all tender ports missed ,food quality no where what it was, cost cutting all across the board...the room stewards have to attend to even more rooms and dining room staff are less...trivia in the overcrowded small bar down stairs deck two opposite the casino not in crows nest any more...waited for shore days for a beer as two to three for the ...
Travelling as a family group with my 3 year old grandson, this Disney cruise was my first experience on a cruise.
The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness of the ship. It is absolutely spotless.
The crew, from stewards, room attendants, restaurant attendants to maintenance staff they were all extremely attentive and made the cruise about you.
Rooms were spotless and very well ...
Chose this cruise to celebrate our daughter's graduation. We are seasoned cruisers but first timers on a Disney ship.
Positives
- Best productions shows at sea.
All 3 were fantastic especially the "Frozen" show.
- Rotational Dining at all 3 restaurants were great. Excellent service provided by our servers from Indonesia, Raka & Angoro.
Great selection of food which was well ...
The crew have been handpicked for the ultimate world cruise and it shows. They are bending over backwards to bring unique experiences, cultural shows, destination briefings, etc. The company has created some frustrations through inconsistent policies towards people doing same types of sailings (ex, offering discounts to those paying in advanced but not applying this equally to clients), and on ...
This was the worst travel experience of my life. It was our first time on a cruise and certainly the last with Grand Princess. This cruise is suitable for 60 year olds and above only. The cruise itself is extremely outdated! I wouldn’t even say it could pass as a family cruise. 1 of the 3 stops they made over the 2 weeks was an industrial area. We even did a tour and didn’t even see much at all. ...
This was our 3rd cruise and second with Oceania. Our first cruise was to French Polynesia on Regatta and was cut short due to the Covid outbreak. Despite this setback, we were very impressed and pleased with everything, especially the food and based on this experience, booked our most recent cruise with Oceania again. This most recent cruise was again on Regatta. A 16 day voyage visiting ports in ...
Firstly let me say this, if you are above 70 you may enjoy this cruise. I must say boarding was a simple quick process even though we were not informed of our boarding time prior so we just arrived around 1 pm and once onboard we were not informed that lunch was available at the buffet so therefore we missed out.
The food is very bland and servings are very small ( nursing home size ). We had ...
