Baltic Sea Senior Cruises Reviews

The experience was average. The food is good in the main dining room with good service. But the food in the buffet is average at best ( and for a medium high cruise line this is disappointing ). The price of the additional packages are excessive. Imagine you are on a 8 day cruise ( 7 days effectively as the last day finished at 6 am ), paying GBP 72 for a classic drink package ( effectively ...

Embarkation - Celebrity Silhouette embarkation was on a Saturday. We stayed overnight in a local hotel, very close to the terminal. A word of warning to anyone walking with their cases: the road down to the terminal is not a smooth journey, with broken pavements, rough surfaces and few lowered kerbs. However, once we arrived at the terminal the process could not have been more straightforward. ...

We have travelled many times with Regent, we have been on all their ships except for Grandeur. We picked this trip for the itinerary alone and were a little apprehensive having more recently sailed on Splendor and Explorer, that Navigator would seem too small now and a little lacking without the fabulous Pacific Rim or the French restaurant. We need not have worried. What Navigator might lack ...

I chose SS after great experiences and to try the Silver Moon for the first time. The experience was great, considering the cost, itinerary, and wine selections. A superior offering to other luxury lines such as SB and RSS. The trip excursions were quite good, with several of them in more isolated/exclusive destinations. In general, the food was excellent in most restaurants, particularly La ...

We love the Balmoral because of the traditional raked stern that allows you to sit out on the balconies, either for lunch on Deck 10, or for drinks in the evening on Deck 8. You can then watch the landscape drift past, for example in the fjords or the Kiel Canal on this cruise. This time we moved our Dining to the Avon restaurant on Deck 10 instead of being in the main Balindalloch. As it was ...

This was our fifth cruise with Fred Olsen - our first since the pandemic. At the outset of the cruise were delayed by two hours while the ship underwent a "deep clean" as there had been a severe outbreak of Norovirus on the previous cruise. Needless to say by day three of the cruise my husband and many other passengers were confined to cabin as the virus had once again taken hold. By day ...

We were looking for a cruise to sail through ports on the Baltic Sea and thought we had found a good deal through NCL. How wrong we were. We thought this was going to be a great cruise but were sadly disappointed and now regret our next cruise with NCL. If we had known now how terrible the food and entertainment was going to be, we would not have booked our Alaskan cruise with NCL. The ...

I chose this cruise because I was interested in exploring Norwegian Sea all the way to Germany! I have not been before, but my first time over here was excellent. I can wholeheartedly say that MSC's cruises have been my favorite from my previous cruise experiences. It was packed with various amounts of food, leisure activities, and other events. I truly enjoyed my relaxing vacation here. ...

My wife and I enjoyed our trip immensely. We ate way too much, but walked it off on the shore excursions. We have 3 Viking river cruises under our belt so this was our first ocean adventure. I do not want to be negative whatsoever, but we really liked the smallness of the river ships. We would meet someone on the Star and then very likely would not see them again. I know on our river trips ...

Good but not very good. The only dining option that avoids the prospect of poor food and sometimes slightly chaotic service is the World Café which is self service and a visible choice of dishes. In other restaurants, the waiting staff are lovely but not fully trained, management make promises they know to be unreliable, wine is insufficiently chilled and food that on occasions is of a quality ...
