After my experience on the Celebrity Silhouette, the Celebrity cruise line has fallen to the bottom of my list. This is after more than 40 cruises on 8 different cruise lines.
At embarkation, a drink of water or lemonade was for Suite passengers only.
The Embarkation Lunch for Concierge Class passengers included a salmon filet that was overcooked, tough and chewy short ribs, a table for 2 ...
Failure to complete the planned route and failure to provide compensation for this. The ship did not dock in Bisby due to "weather conditions" even though other cruise lines' ships did dock. Instead of changing the route or giving compensation to the passengers, the company just wasted another day on the open sea. This route is really not worth it and a waste of time.
The food in the restaurant ...
We have sailed NCL many times and our expectations are low. However this cruise made low expectations even worse. To give some of the highlights:
No cabins were ready until 345pm despite being allowed on board from before noon .
Our room was never dusted or cleaned properly. The TV and safe did not work. Someone had put garbage under the bed from previous cruise and it was still there. It ...
P & O Aurora awful
This is very hard to write, considering our last cruise to Norway on Iona I gave 5 Stars as it was an amazing experience. We both had such high hopes and were so happy to be returning to P&O. However reality did not match expectations.
Our trip to Germany and Belgium started going bad on the first night, when we discovered we were sleeping next door to a Rhino. Her ...
This cruise was the worse. Can you believe the ship actually shut down and no power at 3a. No word from the Bridge, nothing for 4 hours. And then a pathetic apology and nothing more. Breakfast was only cold food and coffee was delayed by an hour. This was totally glossed over by the ship and crew.
Cabin was well worn and certainly not worth the cost. Many stains on the bathroom floor. ...
I chose this cruise due to the itinerary, including Greenland, The Lofoten Islands of Norway, and The Shetlands. Before the cruise even began, Greenland and the Lofoten ports were dropped with no explanation, and the Shetland stop was canceled after we had literally arrived. There were supposed to be no sea days, but we ended up spending 20% of the cruise on sea days. Absolutely nothing to do on ...
I chose this cruise for the ports, especially Iceland. I could go on and on about the wonderful ports. My sister raved about Royal Caribbean so we thought we would try it. The coffee bar needs improvement, the servers were slow and they would punch your card twice if you asked for a medium coffee. The coffee was not not the best. The pastries were stale everyday, how is that possible? Only once ...
Regal Princess; Southampton to Southampton Aug 2023.
The ship is ok!
I do think it has a confusing layout, you are only able to go to some floors in some lifts, so you have to get off one lift to walk down corridors, past dozens of rooms, to get to the next lift to catch that one to get to the lower floors, which you need to do for getting off the ship and to go to the bars/ ...
This was our first time on a Carnival cruise -and it was our last time. Never again. We have been on many other cruises. This one had no decent shows, overpriced excursions that were a complete waste of time and money, and everything was so unorganized!
The photos taken by the professional photographers were very poor quality and extremely dark.
When we got on the ship I went to book an ...
I don’t even know where to begin. Food is bland. The dining room is SO LOUD. Buffet selection is limited. Cabins are old and outdated. The screen of my laptop is larger than the TV in our room. Service is so-so. The employees look they hate it as much as the passengers (who placed the customer service desk by the screeching singers?). I would be angry too if I had to spend months on this super-8 ...
