Canada & New England Romantic Cruises Reviews

There are no bad cruises, for us they are adequate to excellent. However, I am writing this review while drinking what is perhaps the worst coffee at Sea on Silver Shadow. The saga of the bad coffee at sea pretty much sums up the cruise experience. This is our 4th Silversea cruise and we generally like a small ship experience. Besides SS we have cruised on Crystal, Oceania, Seabourn and Regent. ...

Recently, my wife and I took the October 28 sailing to Canada and New England on EMERALD PRINCESS. Overall, it was a very nice, relaxing trip. Here’s the skinny: Embarkation in Brooklyn. We entered the Brooklyn cruise terminal at 12:28 in the afternoon, and because we had the “Green Lane” we stepped on board the ship 12 minutes later at 12:40. Without doubt, this was the easiest and quickest ...

I chose this sailing because it was a new cruise line and I didn't pay full price for the sailing. I had researched this ship and Princess throughly before booking and sailing. I knew what I was getting into because the ship is pretty old. The colors and furnishings are dated. With that said, everything was clean and the outside of the ship looked nice. Princess is in the same class as ...

This was my first cruise on princess. Took a mini suite which was nice but the boat gave me a room all the way in the front of the boat and on tender days it felt and sounded like the anchor was in my room. I personally didn't like the daytime activities on the boat. Didn't seem like there was much to do. Purchased the premier plus package which was good and worth the money if you like ...

This is for a 9 day New England and Canadian cruise. We had an 11AM check in, but were quickly admitted on board 15 minutes ahead of time. Our balcony stateroom on the 8th deck was spacious and comfortable, but on the night of the 70s Promenade "Party" (just a motivation to buy drinks), we heard the bass noises from the 5th deck. Our room steward was very good, even though he forgot to fill up our ...

This was my 6th cruise. I've been on Carnival, NCL, HAL and RCL. This New England cruise has given me reason to take another look at the other lines again. Dining room service was slow and below average. Buffet was poor to say the least. The staff is clearly trying but they just don't have the numbers or materials to provide good food and service. I'm still trying to figure out how you can ...

This was my second cruise sailing as a solo cruiser on Norwegian, the previous one was in the Caribbean almost a year ago and I loved it. This cruise, not so much. This ship is almost identical but it did not have a lounge in the front of the ship which was disappointing. The four things that were really good about this cruise were: embarkation, the food, the crew, and the ports. That's it, ...

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 ...

Way over priced for quality of cruise experience. The main cruise director was at best annoying, at worst rude, impatient, unsympathetic. We were specifically told lunch would be offered to accommodate a late excursion only to find the DR closed. Fortunately, we were in port and could walk into a local restaurant that day. Daily excursions are listed as being included in the cruise fare but ...

On this cruise, I learned that you get what you pay for! For the price that I paid as a solo traveller, the cruise was just barely OK, so in a way, I have to admit that it's nice that there are choices for bargain hunters, but personally, I will use more caution when booking a cruise in the future, as this cruise, food, ship and choice of activities did not meet my expectations. I am a rather ...
