First half of a back to back cruise

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Rhapsody of the Seas

Rhapsody of the Seas Boarding the Ship Barbados – Total chaos. No directions as to where to go, just sending passengers anywhere. It took hours. We’ve never had this problem before. Miami – We were on a ‘back to back’ cruise but were told we had to get off the ship in Miami. The day before, we attended a meeting and were given instructions. We were told we would be checked in on the ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I have not paid for wi-fi in any hotel for about 25 years, so TUI charging for it is "Dark Ages" behaviour. Their own staff said even if you bought it, it was rubbish. I don't expect to use wi-fi in the middle of an ocean, but I do expect it in port for contact with kids, banking (money exchange) etc. Talking about banking why is there not an ATM on ship or the ability to purchase currency using a ...

Nice boat, shame about the service!

We chose this trip because of the islands it visited...... However This was an 12 day cruise on MSC Seaside. The ship is beautiful and well appointed. Unfortunately the service does not match the well polished image if the boat! I have never been on a cruise where the serving staff actively avoid the areas of the ship furthest away from the bar areas. It's not that there aren't enough of ...

Seabourn Spoiled Us - We Loved it!

We have gone on many cruises over the years but mostly on the main stream ships (HAL, Royal, Celebrity, etc.). Last year we tried Azamara for the smaller ship experience and loved it. So this year we thought we’d try the more upscale luxury lines and see how they stack up and how we like them. So we started with Seabourn in March. We’re also going on Regent Seven Seas in June, Atlas Expedition in ...

We were looking for an all inclusive, luxury ocean cruise in the Caribbean and selected the 10-day Seabourn Ovation cruise from Barbados to Miami. The Ovation is a beautiful, well-designed ship with attractive and comfortable public areas. Though we were booked in the lowest category veranda suite on deck 5, it was the best stateroom we ever had on a cruise ship. Spacious with plenty of ...

Comfortable cabin, training needed

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Evrima (Ritz-Carlton)

The cabin was comfortable and spacious in comparison to other standard cabins. Mattresses and bed linen are top notch. The bathroom toilet and shower were in separate stalls and quite spacious. The double sinks were a nice touch. However, our shower door leaked streams of water on the floor every time we showered. We reported it the second day and it was still leaking 3 days later. We reported it ...

7 days is not enough

Though I am not sure I could withstand more - my wife and sister in law and local friends were all set on going and my knee was shot. And the ship had stairs (ladders in nuatical terms) but no elevators. And I use a cane. Not good. Hoofed it to a colleague who shot me up with enough cortisone and marcaine to make me think I was 21 again and away we went. I knew I would pay for it but the other ...

Britannia - the ship for people who want to forget they're on a ship!

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

Tl;dr: Britannia is the ship for people who want the cruise experience while forgetting they're on a ship; beautifully decorated but strangely designed and lacking the service level you'd expect if you've previously sailed with P&O (though I want to believe this is due to specific problems P&O are currently facing which will be resolved in time). The flight to Barbados and embarkation process ...

Overall good cruise but disgusting food in some of the restaurants lets it down.

We have been on 6 Marella cruises, on all of their current fleet both pre and post pandemic. I have to say, standards have dropped in latter times, especially where dining is concerned. The main waiter service restaurant and the Italian restaurant, Gallery/47, the food was inedible. On Gala night for example, the "Gala menu" (dress to impress, so this is meant to be a special night) - ...

NOISY CABINS AT THE REAR OF THE SHIP

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Marella Explorer 2

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary (11 islands in 14 days). We'd been to the majority of the islands before but wanted to go back to certain islands. We paid extra to chose our cabin and we opted for 82** right at the back of the ship. The bed was right against the wall with access only at one side (so no bedside tables), the air conditioning wasn't working and the balcony ...
