Having cruised many times ith P&O we were appalled at the fall in standards. The quality, eating habits, behaviour and particularly the dress of many passengers was dreadful. On ' strictly' formal nights, passengers were allowed into the Cinnamon Restaurant iny any old attire, One man, jacketless was allowed in in just a shirt and trousers. It was even worse in the Waterside self service ...
Ship needs another set of elevators, bathrooms near the elevator on 15th Floor Café is much too small. Can’t make reservations for Complimentary Dining. Ship is much too big and venues are too small (always lineups for dinner, lineups for shows & Theatre, disembarkation, everything!), not enough seating in Garden Café, not enough quiet spots, Atrium area (6 & 7th floor) is way too loud. Too many ...
First of all I would like to say that we are both Diamond Cunard World Club members. We were passengers in Princess Grill on the short segment from Southampton to Hamburg October 20-22, 2023. This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had on a Cunard ship. This was our 12th sailing on QM2 and 34th cruise with Cunard. QM2 was scheduled to enter dry dock the morning we arrived in Hamburg. I ...
We have been on over 80 cruises and about 30 with Princess. We booked this because of the itinerary and that it had a glass dome over the pool. The pool area was not heated and we sat on the chaise lounges with our coats on. I will only comment on the things that Princess had control over.
The Good: Embarkation was probably one of the best we have encountered. Disembarkation was also the ...
We have 17 overall cruises, this was our 11th with princess. after the last on on the ruby, i was so let down i swore never again but!! The ports of call on this one said, one more time!! huge mistake. remember in days of old the soap was real, chocolates on the pillows and princess shopping bags for going ashore:) now it liquid everything, towels that actually smelled like paint and those ...
Dining: There appears to be a variety of dining options but it feels like they serve the same food with different presentation. The food itself is alright but they ran out of hash browns on the third or fourth day and never resupplied. Also either ran out of Drambuie and Shiraz or never had it on board at all despite both items still being on the menu. The beer selection was uninspired and the ...
I chose this cruise because of the ports it advertised to visit: Paris, Bordeaux, Brussels and Amsterdam, also included Hamburg. Once I booked and tried to get excursions, I was told they were full, no longer available. For Paris, I had to book with an outside travel site because they had nothing available. During the cruise, they canceled on the actual day 3 excursions to Brussels, Hamburg and ...
I have been on quite a few cruises and never had poor enough experiences to feel the need to write a review to inform others of what they might be getting into, until now. With other cruise lines, they personalize your experience and make you feel welcomed aboard like you are part of their family and they have been expecting you. This was not the case with Norwegian. They could NOT care less about ...
Honestly I had high hopes for this cruise but after, I can say I am beyond disappointed. From the activities provided all the way down to not being on time for port, and then canceling our last day. All the fun activities you have to PAY for, even though you bought the tickets to be on the ship. The free open activities consist of the ropes course and water slides/pool, which are outside and since ...
I have cruised with Celebrity Cruise Lines for many cruises and this one ranks as the worst one ever. On this cruise the Blu restaurant was disgusting, typically in Blu the service is excellent especially at breakfast time with someone always going around with coffee and someone else with pastries but not on this cruise we always had to ask for more coffee and was only offered pastries twice most ...
