So much respiratory illness onboard

Review for a South America Cruise on Oosterdam

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

On the positive side, the crew are excellent. Cabin stewards, waiters, food servers and front desk attendants are patient, polite and helpful. The food is Ok but not as good as pre-Covid. The lecture/education part of the cruise seems to have been abandoned by Holland America. We used to see it as university-of-the-seas but no longer. Entertainment is also OK but well reduced in quality. One ...

A disappointed trip

We have cruised many times of Princess. We were very disappointed on this trip. We booked it as a 32 day cruise from Buenos Aires to LA, not knowing that it was two trips. We did expect rough waters but we didn't except not to see Cape Horn, one of the reasons for the trip. We also had a port excluded because of the weather. There were so many extra sea days. The food and entertainment was ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

Having cruised on Norwegian before the pandemic, I believe Norwegian is suffering from post pandemic syndrome and is using the pandemic to reduce services and quality. My specific problems were: 1. The itinerary followed was not what I paid for. The three days cruising Antarctica were reduced to one while the weather was glorious. 2. Sanitation standards were low. I contracted Covid ...

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Norwegian Star

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This isn't your ordinary kick back by the pool in the sunshine and be pampered cruise itinerary. It goes to ANTARCTICA! For many on the ship who are frequent travelers, this was the final destination, the SEVENTH continent to visit. The destination is unique. The itinerary is grueling: it crosses The Drake Passage- where the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans converge. Some days, it's a "lake". ...

Captain Skips Ports! 'nuf said!

This captain skips ports. What else can be said about a cruise billed as a voyage to Antarctica and the Falklands Islands but skips the Falklands and cuts out a day in Antarctica. I'm sure most people lined up to pay $$$ to see eight days in a row of the South Atlantic. No? Probably not. I hear there's a line forming onboard to join a class action lawsuit organized by some of the passengers. Rude ...

This was our 6th cruise. Unfortunately ranks at the bottom. If you've cruised within the US or Europe, this will be a disappointment. Embarkation. Like a disorganized maze. Luggage drop off is different location from your checking in. Buses will ferry pax from these 2 locations. Address sent by Norwegian Star erroneous....meant for locals only. Itineraries. Antarctica (Paradise Bay, ...

We cruise often and have mainly stayed with Norwegian so we have achieved some status that adds a few perks. This was an amazing itinerary mainly to see Antarctica and that did not disappoint. It should be on everyone's bucket list. The good - We like the size of the Star. Not a mega ship, holding about 2500 passengers. The staff was friendly and helpful without exception. The ...

Good Food, Poor Communication on Boarding & in Disembarking. Cabin showing its age

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Wanted to do South America in comfort.. this was our 3rd cruise with Oceana Most of the staff were wonderful, some of the staff when just mechanical in responses some were totally arrogant, dismissive and could not care less - not just us but others also. Internet access and speed (lack of - worse than the old dial-up) - allowing just one log-in per cabin - when two people are in the cabin is ...

Communication not in their vocabulary. Suite was great. Food Average. Entertainment so so. Service spotty

We chose this cruise for the itinerary, food expectations, and service levels. Not sure they lived up to any of it. While they cannot do anything about the weather (cancelling the Falklands) and uprisings (cancelling Pisco), their complete inability to communicate was unacceptable. Pisco was cancelled before we even boarded, but they told no-one. We only learned about it by the itinerary ...

A big disappointment

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We’ve had four successful cruises with Oceania, including the Amazon, so continuing around South America with them seemed obvious. A sad mistake. Our experience has been that it was very poorly planned by the itinerary team from the outset, we suffered three failed port visits for a mix of weather and ‘safety concerns’ (one, the Falklands, not unusual, but three!). The low point was a port ...
