Canada & New England Family Cruises Reviews

I went on this cruise with a group of friends. I usually get an inside cabin but this time, that was a mistake. The inside cabins were EXTREMELY small. There was minimal closet space for the two of us. There were no drawers in the dresser. Outlets were only at the dresser so we had to share instead of having one in the bathroom. We saw the cabin steward on the first day and never again. He ...

Lately I have only been cruising on NCL because I normally travel alone and stay in the Haven. However this trip I went with a friend so I had a Club Balcony Stateroom. The following is my review: Stateroom: Absolutely terrible, the description said it sleeps 4, it barely fits one person in the room…..sleeps 3 is pushing it. The mattress was hard, the pillows left me with a stiff neck or a ...

First cruise since Covid, our first cruise with Princess. What a wonderful experience! No hassle embark and disembark process in Brooklyn with our “Medallion” digital wearable device, which also was used throughout our cruise for all our activities. It made our cruise and excursions seamless! The staff at all levels on this cruise went above and beyond to provide help and comfort with ...

Family Get-together Party of 5 with 3 cabins. We were all to have 2 for 1 fares, with a Specialty Restaurant, 150 minutes WIFI/Internet, and $50 shore excursion credit. Unlike the other 2 cabins, we only received the 2 for 1 fare. Spoke with Guest Services and they had to get with HQ. Never got back to me. Went to Guest Services again and they stated HQ said they wouldn't do anything because it ...

The October 6, 2023, the New England cruise from Quebec City to Boston began on October 4 with the NCL BOGO air. The trip began at 6 am on United Air from Colorado Springs to Chicago. Late start with plane bathroom issues but arrived in time in Chicago for our connecting Air Canada flight. The Chicago flight loaded and had a delay of 20 minutes, then another 20, then everyone told to deplane, ...

Fair warning, this is a LONG and DETAILED review. I read lots of reviews but at 55, I have found to take most of them with a grain of salt. Everyone is different so you need to take away from reviews specifics that apply to you. I do not take any stock in reviews that make negative comments for things that are completely out of control by nature and certain things. People who complain that a ...

We wanted to see the fall foliage and get back to sailing on Crystal. The cruise exceeded our expectations. The ship has been updated and was in great shape. Our Junior Penthouse was comfortable, well-appointed and filled with every luxury we wanted. The service on Serenity was top-notch. From the moment we boarded the ship we felt like were home. The embarkation was smooth and seamless. We ...

Long delays to get off ship. No organization whatsoever with lines. Stood in line for a total of 5 hours to get on and off the ship at newport, with no explanation or apology. We had only an hour in newport because of it. There were tender boats in newport. While we were waiting in line for the tender to take us back to the ship, the tender boat rammed the dock hard, denting the tender boat and ...

First, the good things about our recent cruise on the MSC Meraviglia. The ship is beautiful and clean. The room was very nice. It had everything we needed. The only complaint was the strong odor coming from the shower. It was a very strong and a pungent chemical-type odor. If you kept the shower door closed you could not smell it. Our waiter and assistant waiter were great as well as our ...

The Meraviglia is a huge ship and the Yacht Club is featured as a "ship within a ship". While there were many excellent experiences from sailing in this class, there were other elements that definitely need work. I was traveling with family and we had 4 cabins in the Yacht Club. I am an experienced traveler, mainly aboard Silversea, Seabourn and Viking and booked this cruise because my family ...
