Boston Family Cruises Reviews

I cruise with Celebrity often. Picked this cruise to see Nova Scotia and Canada for eleven day cruise. Itinerary looked good. The food was very good, chef in restaurant did a great job. Wine pored freely was nice. What I found disturbing was the overall condition of the ship. Deep rust in many areas, furniture broken, missing cushions on rear deck by cafe. Asked what’s going on with the ratty ...

We are world travelers but relatively new cruisers so this review describes our experience but does not attempt to compare it to other cruises. In general, we had a good experience and would recommend the ship and the itinerary to you. Those things that exceeded our expectations were Boston, Quebec City, most customer service, the buffet food, the condition and maintenance of the ship, and ...

I chose this cruise with my husband to see the fall in New England. It was supposed to be a relaxing time. However for some unfathomable reason that no one can explain to me. They play music down the corridors all night long. I have complained. This keeps me awake or indeed wakes me up. I have tried wearing ear plugs. I accept I am a light sleeper but still not logical for music ...

Mostly the itineraries and the port being so close to home! Every port was amazing especially Quebec City and the added overnight due to the hurricane! Excellent choice to keep us safe! We also had the best Cruise Director ever Manuel I don’t think he ever sleeps he was truly the greatest of all our 60 cruises. We also enjoyed every show very different each evening Karen Granger was a gem! Brandon ...

Chose this cruise because of itinerary and could drive to Boston. First time on a M class ships and was very impressed with the ship and crew. Enjoyed all the ports, especially PEI. Loved the naturalist talks and nightly shows. Only criticism is with MDR entree selections. Definitely less than previous cruises, but the food I had was good, just missed the selections we were used to. Tuscan ...

We chose this cruise for the itinerary - leaving from Boston and going through the Maritime provinces to Quebec City and back. I have noticed that most of the good reviews for the Celebrity Summit generally come from the passengers who did the short jaunts in the Bahamas and the poor reviews generally come from longtime cruisers and/or passengers on the longer cruises. This cruise on the ...

This was only our second cruise so we let our travel companions pick the cruise since they have much more cruise experience. The Zuiderdam is an older cruise liner as were the patrons so we felt right at home. The amenities on the ship were perfect and we enjoyed room service breakfast every morning and the food was fantastic. In the evening we enjoyed the main dining room and serving us at table ...

We were excited to be on Zuiderdam on Aug 26, from Boston up to Quebec city. While the ship was nice and in good shape for being a few years old, it was the service and our cabin that disappointed us. Pros: - ship was in good shape. - Our inside cabin was roomy for 4. - good communication and service once we got quarantined in our inside cabin half way through the cruise (not ...

Always wanted to visit Nova Scotia so we chose this cruise for our 50th Anniversary. Our primary issue was the VERY LOUD games and music from the public areas below O'Sheehan's and the Lotus Garden restaurants. Decided to dine often at the very quiet dining room at the rear of the ship. Excellent service and meal choices. O'Cagney's Steak House was also excellent. No Irish beer at ...

We live in SE MA, less than an hour's drive from Boston, and had been wanting to sail this itinerary for some time, as we wouldn't need to fly. The embarkation day was rainy & dreary, but as we are Platinum members, we at least didn't have to wait too long to board. Our cruise routine is to never eat in the buffet on embarkation or disembarkation days...it always seems too busy, plus you ...
