We booked this 2 day cruise for our grand daughters birthday treat. Checking in at Southampton was a long tiring affair, taking almost an hour and half. We had a balcony cabin as we like watching the world sail by. As usual the cabin was clean and functional, the cabin Stewart was very efficient as he cleaned the cabin twice a day. At reception a sign said the ship was fully booked, a mix of ...
By the time you actually get on board and have done safety briefs it's almost 5pm. The day is almost gone. We were delayed getting back on Sunday because a crew member was taken ill yet we were still off the boat and on our way home by 8.30am. You actually only have one full day and a few hours yet are charged for 2 days. Totally disagree with being billed £48 for tips. It's £6 per person per ...
We usually travel on Princess cruises but we booked this cruise as friends of ours were already booked on it. The embarkation went very smoothly which is the only good point of this ship. The fridge was stocked with bottled water and a few cans of Coke Cola which they charged £1.50 for the water this having paid £7000 for the suite. On most cruise ships there is a lot of complaining about one ...
We traveled as a group of 17 for the weekend from Southampton to Bruges to celebrate my mother's 75th birthday, while we had a great time this was rather in spite of the cruise experience than because of it.
At check in we were left to carry our own luggage to the room and also left to find the room ourselves with no directions, which is less straightforward than you might think. The only ...

This was a special treat for a birthday.
The activities on board were very poor with an emphasis on darts, bingo, selling diamonds and cosmetic procedures.We had hoped there would be talks on the Caribbean etc but the only "expert" offered Nutrition as a subject!Yoga and Pilates for example cost extra.
There was a constant hard sell of excursions, watches, visits to the kitchen (£25), visits ...

Got to New Orleans and finally got to our cabin , not too bad outside with balconly but so I should think for what I paid.
First meal was dinner and was Ok was however surprised by the ...
Hygiene was a concern, a used tissue on the gangway on embarkation. Cabin was OK, but was unwell and had nosebleeds, told by cabin steward when asking for clean sheets that this was not a hotel and they change the sheets every 3 days. No towel art at all during our stay, part of the cruising experience. Asked for water from waiters ,either ignored, took 20 minutes to arrive or looked at like I ...
My sister and I decided to book on this cruise because our 60th and 62nd birthdays fell within the date range. Our twin deluxe cabin was very spacious and included amenities such as tea and coffee making facilities, other luxuries such as champagne and canapes.
Meals in the main restaurants were surprisingly good. even though they catered to the overwhelmingly English guests. Specialty ...
