Hadn’t been to 3 of the ports, and 10 nights sounded good.
Didn’t anticipate having to constantly pay for transfers from the ship to the destination!
It’s a big ship and therefore had to dock in commercial docks,
Entertainment - the shows were first class but during g the day was pretty poor
Food was excellent- although busy on sea days!
Definitely take the drinks package, great ...
I chose this cruise because I had previously sailed with NCL "Spirit" and had a wonderful time. The ship and the crew were terrific.
This time - on the plus side the crew, as always were a delight. NCL have some of the most wonderful crew members. There were plenty of dining areas and the food was acceptable The price I paid, as a solo traveller in an inside cabin, was a real ...
We were looking forward to our first time sailing with Celebrity having previously tried P&O, Ambassador and Cunard (mainly TA on current QM but 1 med cruise on current QE) On TA crossings several people we've spoken to have commented that Celebrity's food was much better than Cunards so we were especially looking forward to the dining. We've always enjoyed the food on Cunard and found Ambassadors ...
Mostly enjoyed our second trip on the Silhouette. Food and entertainment were great and staff very friendly and helpful. The staff member for our room he could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Unfortunately for the second time (we have only had two cruises!) we both contracted COVID which ruined the last couple of days (I was unable to visit Bayeux - the highlight of my trip). Upon ...
This was my second cruise with Costa. First one was with Smeralda . Check-in and access of the cabin worked well. Deck 2 insides. The journey from Copenhagen Danmark to Tarragona Spain went perfectly.
The cabin was okey, interior grey but the bed was really good. The food is varied, the breakfast and lunch buffet is tasteless ,hot food is cold when you have found somewhere to sit. Restaurant ...
This was our fourth NCL cruise, but the first for quite a while preferring Celebrity and RCL but this itinerary included many of our “bucket list” ports, including Reykjavik and Lerwick (Shetland).
It is very obvious that they are understaffed, and undertrained. The front-line help is courteous enough but not prepared or allowed to problem solve. There is lack of communication between ...
We chose this cruise because the itinerary was quite varied and promised a good overall experience in Europe, including 2 days in Iceland. We had also heard that NCL was a good cruise line.
Before the cruise: Spent several hours trying to book dining, shows and prepaying for services that we wished to have. Was able to book regular dining for some of the days aboard, including 4 specialty ...
We toured on Silhouette’s sister ship Reflection last May and based on this experience and the itinerary chose Celebrity again.
At all times any staff we encountered were enthusiastic, interested and as helpful as we could wish for.
All breakfasts in any of the settings we tried were outstanding
During the cruise we ate dinner in Murano and the Tuscan Grill, both were ...
We chose this cruise primarily because of the itinerary. We are not novice cruises, having done over 60 of them. The ship is older, but appears to be well maintained for the most part. Embarktation was slow, stood in line for over an hour before we boarded. We had a balcony cabin that was spacious and featured good storage. Most employees try very hard to please, but overall management is ...
The food was mediocre at best.
The itinerary was why we chose this cruise. I have been around long enough to know that the new, splashy ships have the least interesting itineraries, and the older tired ships have the most interesting itineraries. However, I did not expect the older ship to offer subpar food and experiences.
The salad dressings had no flavor at all, and the soups were just ...
