Too many problems and poor commincation

Review for a Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Sinfonia

AndrewJB
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We travelled on a 30 day “Grand Voyage” from Cape Town to Venice on the MSC Sinfonia in March/April 2023. This is a 3.5 star vessel, and the onboard experience met or slightly exceeded expectations at that price point. The ship is well maintained, and the food entertainment and service are normally good. Note, this ship was cut in two and more cabins inserted. This put a strain on the facilities ...

Ist time with Azamara and absolutely brilliant

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

My husband and I chose this Azamara Journey West Africa cruise starting on 4th March 2023 from Cape Town to Walvis Bay Namibia, Luanda Angola, Takoradi Ghana, Ivory Coast, The Gambia, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Madeira and Lisbon on account of the stops in the African ports. We have sailed a lot with other cruise companies like Holland America, Princess, Celebrity and Norwegian but this was our ...

Very Disappointing

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

We chose this cruise based on location and the CruiseCritic Review of 4.5 by the editor who is delusional with her ratings of this ship---have lost all confidence in CruiseCritic ship ratings. Silverseas' newest ship Silver Moon was only rated 5 stars. We have sailed on both and it is Waldorf Astoria vs Holiday Inn. First the rooms are very small. A bathroom that two people cannot stand in at ...

Azamara Journey 12nt South African Intensive

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

For our first cruise embarking from a port outside the U.S. and our first cruise w/ Azamara, what an experience South Africa was! Not that we’re new to cruising. It’s just that the 25 or so cruises we’ve taken over the years haven’t been quite as memorable or immersive as this one. Our key takeaway… We really do prefer the atmosphere, service, and conviviality of smaller ship cruising, and the ...

Nice cruise around South Africa

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

Joe&Barry
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

This was our second time on the Journey, we previously had sailed a Baltic’s itinerary in 2018. We loved that itinerary, this one was not as good for us. Be aware that the ports are chosen for the safari tours you can take from the ports, not the actual ports. There is really nothing to do and most are very poor. Be sure to plan excursions! The ship is still in good shape. Our cabin was very ...

Very enjoyable cruise, but some ports of call were disappointing.

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

UK6
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

First time with Azamara. We chose the cruise as we liked the itinerary around South Africa. Unfortunately one of the key ports of Durban was cancelled about a month before we departed due to the South Africans hosting the Russian navy….. Cape Town was the highlight, and we enjoyed Maputo. We were very fortunate to have booked private tours from Richards Bay with a fantastic guide name Don ...

Really disappointing introduction to Azamara

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We had heard so much about how impressive Azamara was and, after several cancelled cruises due to Covid and the war in Ukraine, we were really looking forward to the "South Africa Intensive" cruise. First, the positive: the service cannot be faulted. It really is impeccable. That being said, the rest was less impressive. A few days before sailing, we were advised that we had been upgraded -- ...

Wonderful Safari and country - Awful Cruise

Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Journey

M&L Cruisers
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

It’s been 2 weeks and no one from Azamara bothered to contact us so I’m post my issues with the cruise on Cruise Critic so other know what to be prepared for. This was our 40th cruise on several cruise lines and can easily say it was the worse cruise ever taken. There were multiple issues that included health and safety issues, lack of communication between senior staff, and an attitude from some ...

Disappointing

Review for a Africa Cruise on MSC Sinfonia

Motherofrodents
First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

This was our first cruise with MSC and we were super disappointed, especially after the big hype. To start off, we were clearly instructed to not arrive before our embarkation time, which was 12pm. We got the just before 12, thinking it would be a smooth embarkation. We stood in 3 different queues. For 3 hours. They don’t have any way of stopping those that arrive too early (there were people ...

Very disappointing short cruise of S Africa

Review for a Africa Cruise on Nautica

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

We chose this 12 day cruise as a special celebration of my husband's and my big birthday year. It was very expensive (including RT airfare on BA from the UK). The reason we chose this cruise was because we wanted to see a lot of wildlife so we bought 5 tours (4 animal reserves and 1 desert trip). 3 of the tours were cancelled at the last minute supposedly for weather conditions in two cases and ...
