My dream was to cross the ocean in comfort during my lifetime. It was all so easy. Our cabin attendant introduced herself right away and explained that for the next 12 days, we were not to worry about anything. We opted for a suite, and indeed the extra space and amenities made a big difference. Thirty-four drawers for storage and two built-in wardrobes. Very pleased how well the A/C worked. Beds ...
This was my first cruise following the pandemic, my last being December 2019.
I chose this as I love T/A cruises, so many sea days to savour. I chose the Jewel as I don’t like huge ships, the Jewel is 2500 passengers and there were only 1200 on this cruise!
The ship is a delight, so much wood and glass it is beautiful. All areas were sparkling clean and staff were fantastic ...
Chose this cruise for the eastern Mediterranean itinerary and to experience the Splendor. We've been on the Explorer and wanted to compare. Like the decorations and feel of the Explorer better but this is an excellent vessel. It handled the gale-force winds and waves we encountered one night just fine. We stepped down from Penthouse to Concierge D for this 17-day trip and the room was very ...
If you love a beautiful Mediterranean port every day this is a great cruise. The ship seemed a bit smaller than past cruises (which is good for ports and meeting people), and older, however, the crew worked so hard to provide a nice experience. Staff were always cleaning (the ship is immaculate), and our cabin attendant, Donny, was the best ever. He always remembered ice at happy hour, the paper ...
For starters, this was my 15th cruise overall and fifth with NCL. This trip was three years in the making. We had to cancel our original 7-night cruise out of Venice due to COVID. We chose this itinerary because of the great ports. 11 nights Barcelona to Rome with stops in Cannes, France, Livorno (Florence/Pisa), Naples, Messina, Sicily, Kotor, Montenegro and Greece (Corfu, Santorini, Athens and ...
Our first cruise post-covid and most definitely worth the wait!
We were originally a little concerned at the size of the Epic, as we were used to the smaller South Pacific sized ships, but we never felt overwhelmed by the numbers and I believe that the cruise was at around 80% capacity.
The Epic is well laid out for eating with the majority of the table restaurants at the rear and the buffet ...
We chose Cunard again because we simply enjoy the gorgeous art deco interiors, superb British service, formality, dress codes, food and entertainment. We did a transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary 2 some years ago and simply loved it.
That being said, we recognize that not everyone values such an experience. Cunard is NOT the line for you if you want ice skating rinks, climbing walls, go ...
WE have been sailing on these ships since 1999 when they were brand new under the Renaissance Banner. This is our 12 cruise on these ships. We booked this trip due to the unusual itinerary which included several of the Med Islands that we had not been to. All of our itinerary expectations were exceeded. The big tourist crunch was over and some of the islands like Crete we had to ourselves. Our ...
My husband and I are in our late 60's and trying to travel as much as we can. I have read many, many reviews and I think some people just expect too much. You make it your own. We NEVER had any cruise employee that was not helpful, friendly, and go out of their way to do anything for you! Every meal we had at any specialty restaurant we exceptional. Even the main dining was very good. The only ...
I just returned from a seven night Mediterranean cruise on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth.
Being Diamond level in Cunard's World Club I have sailed on all of their ships from QE2
to QM2 and Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. Cunard never disappoints. In my opinion
Cunard is the most luxurious cruise line in the world and I have sailed with almost every other
line. I describe Cunard ships as ...
