Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Nautica

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Nautica is a beautiful little ship. The crew were wonderful. Unfortunately this didn’t make up for a number of other issues relating to this supposedly upmarket company.
1. The itinerary change was so drastic it didn’t resemble what we booked in any way. Other ships still visited Egypt, Oman and Salalah and these ports were cancelled on our trip. The day we were meant to visit Athens was windy ...

Review for a Asia Cruise on Queen Elizabeth

20 Day cruise from Barcelona to Singapore via Suez Canal
The Queen Elizabeth is a decent cruise ship and we had a room (although tiny shower cubicle) and balcony, but like many US owned Cruise lines costs on board are significant eg -
Average to poor wifi £18 per day, drinks package £65 each per day (need to have for whole cruise), wine from £35 per bottle, G & T around £12, beer around £7. ...

Review for a Asia Cruise on Spectrum of the Seas

We chose this cruise purely for the reason it departed from Barcelona at the time we wished to travel.
This ship was not ready to launch. Our trip was truncated as we had our passports stolen in Barcelona and as a result, we had to disembark in Athens because we could not travel further with temporary passports.
On an inaugural cruise, one must expect irregularities but this cruise was ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
It was the first world cruise for msc. we had done two other world cruises with holland america and costa cruise. When we compered the msc cruise with the other two was very poor in several areas.
Cost: we paid a lot more money for this cruise so we espected more. The cabin with balcony 9080 was very small and impossible to organize clothing and shoes.
Food: the food in the buffet was ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on Majestic Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
Disappointing is the only way to describe this new ship, its layout is way behind the times and poor use of space. We were on board for 3 weeks and found the crew to be disinterested, not very energetic and there is a distinct lack of supervision.
The food is not good particularly the buffet where food is prepared elsewhere and left to serve yourself was not hot, bland and repetitive. The ...

My wife and I have just finished our cruise on RCCL “Ovation of the Seas “.
We boarded the ship in Barcelona and disembarked in Dubai , we wish we would have got off in Rome (which was the first port of call ) .
The ship is brand new ,this cruise is part of its Maiden voyage .
The ship is built to a price not a recipe , how cheap can you build a big ship.
The cabins are modern and ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on Explorer of the Seas

(1) Impossible to communicate with the home office in Miami. Very poor customer service.
(2) Check in at the port in Barcelona took forever. RCL's employee was letting all Platinum and above members through, while keeping the line for the Gold members at a standstill. It was faster going through the line for people who were not Crown and Anchor members at all.
(3) The balcony was covered ...

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Explorer of the Seas

10+ Cruises • Age 70s
One can see why RCL has a lot of loyal cruisers...lots of glitz and fun atmosphere. It appears the Diamond cruisers privilege include unlimited free alcohol from 5 pm to 8:30 pm. Many of the Diamond cruisers could be easily identified. It appears non Diamond cruisers are paying for the alcohol for the Diamond holders. There are extra charges for many things (galley tour, sushi, arts and crafts, ...

Friendly and on the whole, helpful staff
No corkage fee for any wine you bring to the restaurant.
Very spacious room, (But we paid a premium for a Junior Suite)
Very generous shipboard credit given in lieu of not being able to stop at a port due to security reasons.
I have to say Royal Caribbean was not for me.
I am used to, and prefer Cunard.
I found there was ...

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on Insignia
gianluigiquentin@aol.com
First Time Cruiser • Age 90s
My recent cruising of the Insignia, a vessel belonging to Oceania Cruises, was quite disappointing after having enjoyed several cruising trips on various vessels belonging to their sister company, Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
The Insignia is quite an old vessel completely refurbished with some sort of lavish splendor in their many sprawling, but almost always empty common areas. This is sadly ...
