Very disappointing

Review for a Africa Cruise on Silver Spirit

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We booked this back-to-back (31 day) cruise over a year ago. The itinerary took us to ports we’d never been before - Madagascar, Mauritius, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai - and we’d had such a wonderful experience on the Moon a year ago that we were looking forward to a repeat, which of course did not happen. This was our 63rd cruise, but only our 3rd - and most likely our last - on Silversea. Our ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

We purchased a cruise package that included flights, 3 days pre-cruise stay in Cape Town then a cruise to Rio stopping at Luderitz and Walvis Bay in Namibia followed by St Helena before ending with a day in Rio. The outbound BA flights were fine. The hotel (Cullinan) in Cape Town was good apart from the dinner on the second night which was below par. All the excursions were excellent, well ...

Seasoned Oceania cruisers try out Regent. How did it go? It was an adventure. We are seasoned Oceania cruisers, and seasoned transatlantic cruisers. We booked our own flights and took the transfer from the airport to the Southern Sun and joined the 4 day/3 night precruise. The hotel is fine, in a great location, and the staff could not be nicer. The precruise tour was exceptional, our ...

Cruise fell so far below expectations, frequent cruisers, sailed with Regent several times and normally fabulous but Ship is tired, rooms far from luxurious. Problems from start, transfers from hotel and embarkation absolutely chaotic. We both became unwell by end of first week this was before ship officially announced that they had a serious problem, they said only a few people sick but levels ...

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 ...

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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This cruise was chosen as it was sailing between our decade birthdays, most importantly catered for a vegan diet and as it was luxury, we opted for the suite, we thought we would be in for a memorable holiday. Well little did we know we were but for the wrong reasons. Very Disappointing, Under-delivered on expectations, Worst and most expensive holiday experienced. Embarkation Night ...

My husband and I usually cruise Celebrity but chose this cruise for its itinerary and the reputation of excellent food and service . Unfortunately we were disappointed by both . The embarkation was a disaster . Due to high winds in Cape Town the ship was late in arriving in dock . In fact over a day late but it did not warn passengers On the day , no one answered phone calls and there ...

Oceania does not measure up to their puffery

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

We chose this cruise for its itinerary, and that was great. But arriving late 6 times at ports caused problems on tours (never Oceania's fault). Oceania claims to have "the finest cuisine at sea"--NOT TRUE! There were many problems with the cuisine. The coffee does not taste like coffee; we tried every conceivable way to get a good cup of coffee, but it would not happen; it tasted burnt and ...
