Booked this trip for July 2023 because of the great itinerary.
The Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful. Cabins were clean and the ship was nice. The excursion desk really bent over backwards to adjust when port calls were cancelled due to weather/sea ice (sucks but no one's fault). Specialty restaurants were quite good particularly Le Bistro.
Cons: The complementary food was meh. Norwegian ...
I chose this cruise as I liked the itinerary. I was dubious about going on the Aurora, but the fact that it was Adult Only helped seal the deal and the price was right.
Why was I dubious about the Aurora? This was my 3rd trip on her, my first being in 2019 just before the pandemic. My experience then was great. Good ship, lovely crew, good service and great food choices. Having experienced ...
We chose the cruise because of the Panama Canal transit. The shore excursions were very long involving much time in a coach. The itineraries were inflexible and at the mercy of the shoreside Tourist company. It was a pity that the stay in Nicaragua was cancelled but another destination could have been included. We spent 9 days at sea during a 20 day cruise. Service was patchy and it would seem ...
We chose this cruise line and ship as we had done two other regent cruises before and liked them very much. We want to be loyal and also know what we are getting for our money. Unfortunately we got surprises that underwhelmed us rather than brought us joy and delight.
we were in a very expensive suite a Splendour Suite, the bed was fabulous, great bathroom and lounge room with desk table and ...
ICELAND Silversea Moon – July 2023
SHIP CONDITION / LAYOUT Grade A++
The Silversea Moon as a “ship” is, without debate, one of the finest at sea. The décor, colors, design, layout, suites and public space are all award winning. I love this ship.
OVERALL STAFF SERVICE Grade A++
With rare exception, we encountered the most gracious, helpful and genuine cruise associates – ever.
FOOD ...
I had a great trip overall. The crew, fellow passengers, and destination made the investment a win The interest free payments also helped, and I thought that was a great option provided by NCL. The ship's crew was friendly, and the solo traveler activities were enjoyable. The atmosphere for solo travelers allowed people of all ages to hang out together organically and have a great time, regardless ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. For our style of travel (we have been on 16 cruises and also land based vacations) the best thing about cruising is the convenience of seeing a variety of places without having to unpack, pack, and move suitcases between each one. We avoid cruises with lots of sea days. We also avoid cruises with lots of tender stops due to the difficulty in meeting ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary, especially Iceland and Greenland and because we have had 3 very good cruises with HAL in the past. There were many good features. Most of the ship has been beautifully refurbished, the food was good, staff very helpful and it seems a happy ship. Great itinerary, Iceland was brilliant, sunny and fantastic scenery. The sun really does shine at midnight in the ...
We were on this boat and the main reasons were to visit greenland and island. At first the good: the food we compare with celebrity and princess, hal is a little bit better. The speciality restaurants are not much better. The service in the pinnacle grill is arrogant and the maitre too and not friendly. The food was OK , there is the murano celebrity much better. Very good was the fitness trainer ...
We booked this as a "drop and go" back to backs more for the destinations than the ship. Some places in Norway we had been to before. We were very limited in cabins available and were in an ocean view cabin. It was acceptable once we got the room properly cleaned, aired and supplied. The window needed a good clean and it was more like being in an inside cabin as window was so filthy with scum ...
