Cape Town Luxury Cruises Reviews

The most disappointing and dreadful cruise I have ever had. We booked six ports. Received four. There was hardly any time at all on land. Most of our holiday was stuck on the ship with very little entertainment and no enhancement relevant to Africa. The food was poor to average. A curry one evening was the worst thing I have ever tasted in a restaurant. An own brand frozen curry would have ...

I’ve read numerous reviews about Regent claiming they have slipped and are no longer a true luxury line. Don’t believe it for a minute! We sailed on the Seven Seas Voyager from Cape Town to Rio and LOVED our crossing. We booked a Penthouse Suite, one of the smaller suites with a Butler, and were totally impressed with the cabin, the service, the food, and yes, even the aging ship which is ...

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 ...

luxury ship. not a all. from the beginning of not being to board the ship in LA due to computer problems at the port, to the lack of service. the food on this ship was simply very poor, same menus every day. food was delivered cold and the staff really didn't care. tour desk and tours were a disaster. absolutely no one knew how to get the passengers off the boat to their scheduled tour. ...

Expectations were high as we flew to South Africa on time {the worry of travelling BA behind us} to find a totally disjointed hotel selected by Silverseas. Well, it’s only one night, it can only get better from here... or so we thought thinking positively. Next day came and we took a private transfer to the ship. We arrived at the terminal to find around 50 people queuing in front and an hour ...

Our flights, pre/post cruise hotels and transfers were all arranged by Regent. On arrival we were informed that we would be notified about embarkation details - but we weren't. On the morning of embarkation, several hundred guests along with several hundred suitcases were all seen milling around awaiting 5 coaches to take us to Seven Seas Voyager. Two of our party of 4 had mobility problems and ...

This was a 15 day cruise sailing from Cape Town up the West Coast of South Africa to Namibia, back to Cape Town then up the East Cost of South Africa to Mozambique then back to Cape Town. We did the 4 day pre-cruise land program - Winelands and Wildlife, which had us staying in a hotel in downtown Cape Town. That was not a good introduction to Cape Town, South Africa or Regent. The hotel was not ...

Dealing with Azamara precruise was a nightmare. They actually "lost" one of our bookings and don't get me started on their website!! We were therefore very pleasantly surprised at how well our cruise went. The fact that there were less than 400 passengers may have helped but everything from embarkation on was so easy. Never had to queue for anything. We did ask our cabin attendant to remove ...

Special birthday pressie to ourselves. Much prefer a smaller ship and the Pursuit turned out to be only half full which whilst even more comfortable for us must have been a disappointment for Azamara. Did mean there were numerous quiet places around the ship where passengers could sit etc and it was rare to struggle to get a seat anywhere. Despite the obvious spare capacity upgrades were very ...

Let’s start with a disclaimer. We are strong Seabourn advocates. We have sailed on Seabourn for years and have spent more than 500 nights aboard Seabourn Ships. That being said, this review will be honest and we will share with you the good and fair on our trip. You will notice we did not use the word “bad”. The reason for us not using this word, is that we have had no bad experiences on this ...
