Boston Senior Cruises Reviews

I never thought I would be disappointed on a cruise BUT our cruise on Serenade of the Seas earned that title. The ship needs an update and in an overhaul approach. We booked an interior stateroom on the 7th floor and decided to bid on an upgraded room. For 380 dollars we were “upgraded” to the 2nd floor (the bottom of the ship”) with a porthole the size of a pie. We could only access our floor ...

My husband and I were excited to celebrate our 40th anniversary on a cruise to New England and because of the internet description we thought American Cruise Lines and the American Star would be a good choice. The cruise dates were September 9th through the 16th. We were disappointed from the moment that we walked on to the boat we noticed that the boat was older and in poor condition. ...

We did a lot of tendering to the shore. In Bar Harbor we tendered in then had to take 50 min bus ride just to see Bar Harbor . That's just one example . This ship ran out of Diet Soda 5 out of 10 days. At every port they said they had a shipment but lied You feel for the cost of the cruise they wouldn't run out of food but examples hotdogs ,vanilla ice cream,dinner rolls and cheese for the nacho ...

We chose this cruise because it traveled to places we’d never been before. We are still on the cruise as I’m writing this and we’re not very happy. The food at the Lido buffet is absolutely terrible and that seems to be the consensus is most of the passengers we’ve spoken to. The only very good food on the ship is at the Pinnacle Grill but there is a hefty surcharge and reservations are difficult ...

We chose this cruise because we thought we would see fall in Canada. We had to change rooms because of the smell, food was atrocious, I was run into at the casino by a staff member, nothing to do at the ports, and came home with covid x2. This is not the Royal Caribbean of the past. Crew members smelled like smoke. The comedian told a viagra joke which we did not find funny. I could not ...

My DH and I chose this cruise since it was leaving near our home port of Boston. We knew the ship was older but since it had been amped in 2019 decided to give it a try. The ship itself is in pretty good condition considering it’s age. The cabin was spacious and clean if a bit outdated. Embarkation was not difficult and we were aboard quickly. When we boarded we entered deck 4 and asked where ...

We chose this cruise because we were booked on Pearl of the Seas and it was canceled several times due to Covid. We were told we had to cruise before the end of 2022 or lose all the money we had paid for the cruise on Pearl of the Seas. There was nothing available on Pearl of the Seas in the New England area and we could not book the cruise for 2023. Our suite was on the 5th floor and was very ...

Many issues with this cruise. The cruise was scheduled for 10 nights, Boston to Maine, RI, Mass and back to Boston. While the ship is only 4 years old, the decor can best be described as basic. Luxurious, it is not. One major issue at the outset was no Wifi on board. We were told to depend on cell phones instead. Those cell phones don't work when the ship is say from land or in remote parts ...

We chose this cruise because we had cruised American Cruise Lines previously and had a 5 star experience. Unfortunately this cruise was not even close. This is a very expensive cruise line (about $1,000 a day per person - based on double occupancy) and the passengers are mostly senior citizens. Our boarding experience was chaotic. There was a long boardwalk to the boat with no assistance for ...

Beware! This cruise is unsafe, hazardous, a liability, and a tragedy waiting to happen. The facts are that they are grossly understaffed and the crew that is aboard is negligently trained; they are incompetent and uninformed. The staff is not fully vaccinated, although the Manager of the Hotel, has lied and sworn they are, the Captain and Medic aboard has verified otherwise. The majority of the ...
