I had a solo full suite S6, aft-facing. A decent enough cabin, in need of some cleaning. Like all Princess ships, overall service quality has fallen over the years. I've sailed some others (Majestic and Enchanted) that seem to have recovered post-COVID; this one has not. Overall service is uneven, some crew really care, while others are excited about how soon their contract ends. It's not ...
Chose cruise for itinerary ( it does not stop in Russia) and after cruise scheduling- so far service excellent, cabin horrible constant noise ( they moved us last night to port side), quite a bit of Horizon Court food very chewy Mexican, pork; fruit very fresh, good variety but question quality- does not seem to be quality level of Discovery, Regal, or Enchanted ships;casino is very small, ...
We chose this ship for the itinerary to cruise around Iceland with a smaller ship. We traveled with our two adult children and spouses. It was a treat to have the family together. Ship was beautiful and spacious for the number of people on board 900+. Many places to sit and relax but our favorite was the Explorer Lounge in the front of the ship which is on two levels. The staff was courteous but ...
My spouse and myself cruised around Iceland for a week on the Viking Star. We booked an “Explorers Suite” in the aft section of the ship. This was my seventh cruise but my first with Viking having previously sailed with Cunard, Disney, Carnival and Royal Caribbean. We booked Viking based on its reputation as a premier cruise line. Overall I have to say I was satisfied but underwhelmed. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Before I begin let me say that our cruise experience has been wonderful in sone ways and terrible in others. We booked a 12 day Scandinavian cruise and our port excursions have been usually good to very good. We booked a large suite and it also has been very nice. Large and comfortable!.
The staff has been Amazing. Even the weather has been near perfect. The entertainment has been generally ...
Went on the Baltic cruise in June of 23 with two teenage grandsons. This was my third NCL cruise and 7th overall. There were several minor problems like a piece of luggage lost for 1 1/2 days, a long and disorganized wait for Teppanaki (food wasn't worth the wait), long lines at the buffet for lunches (main restaurants were closed for lunch), not being able to get a table at the buffet, bad food ...
Oceania markets itself as a luxury brand, but did not meet my expectations.
Service: This is such an important part of trying to distinguish oneself from other cruise lines. Service felt unorganized, as if this is the first week on the job for many workers. Staff in the Terrace Cafe buffet needs to be trained what they are serving. I needed to cancel the reservation at Jacques (due to ...
We were looking for a luxurious experience. We got a standard cruise with a few fripperies thrown in. The ship was lovely, though a little corporate. We were too late booking the speciality restaurants so had to rely on Atlantide and Salt, both of which tried hard but were lacking in the taste and quality of the food provided. Breakfast were a bit of a melee, ie the buffet area is not big enough ...
