I am currently on the Jewel of the Seas on the TA cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Southampton.
We flew to Miami on the 4th April with American Airlines. This was the first time flying with them and I was very impressed with the whole experience. There was more leg room than with other airlines we had used in the past and the boarding process was much more organised. The airline crew were very ...
Embarking and disembarking were easy and quick. The cabin (although was a little small) was comfortable and clean. The food (dinner) was a little disappointing in terms of portion but is very tasty. The facilities were good but i was expecting a little more things to do while sailing. The pools and hot tubs were always busy so didn’t get to enjoy them. However, we found ourselves enjoying a vast ...
I travelled as a solo woman in her mid 40’s. I chose this cruise as it wasn’t much more expensive than booking a land based holiday, the comparing solo supplements etc.
I flew in on the Saturday with Tui, but it was on an airplane ran by Titan airways, so P&O contracted to TUI who contracted out again to Titan. Made the thank you announcements quite long!
Flight was comfortable and plane ...
I went on this cruise with relatives who were celebrating a big anniversary and I was in a solo studio. This was my first time on the Epic and I had a great cruise but my experience was likely very different from others who sailed on this ship recently. Reasons for this may be because this cruise had fewer people on it than others recently and it seemed as though there was a lot of new staff. I ...
We had previously sailed on Azura in 2010 when she was brand new and after 14 years there was quite a difference in the state of the ship. That said she was clean and the staff were always around cleaning and polishing.
Our cabin was clean and functional although the lack of USB points was an issue as we could only plug our devices in where the kettle was situated above the fridge.
We didn't ...
It was when Lorena, Sous Chef in the Horizon self-service restaurant, asked me on the first morning what sort of bread I preferred for my breakfast toast that I had an inkling that Aurora was going to deliver something special. The 65-night Grand Tour to the USA and Caribbean certainly did that, starting each day with seeded bread for my toast, baked by Lorena and cheerfully delivered to my table ...
As title took 2 1/2 hours to get though customs, and this is not the first time, so I will never cruise on any ship from Barcelona again. Going the other way trying to get out of Barcelona wasn't much better only took 1 1/2 hours so be carful. The ship great I like that size of ship 2500 / 3500 people is big enough for us, cabin first time very close to lifts never heard a thing. Fastest we have ...
We ended up booking this cruise because the opportunity to travel to Barcelona, other parts of Spain and also Casablanca was very appealing. We were also looking for a cruise at this time of year and this was the most interesting itinerary we could find.
In our opinion Celebrity lived up to its billing as a premier cruise line. The service we received was excellent. We enjoyed the dining ...
I thought the ship was wonderful.however the entertainment on board left a sour taste in my mouth, they have their own onboard busker, who was rubbish to be fair, Frankie was a good singer, but the Triptonic group i was not impressed with. Our Cabin was outside with a window which i was impressed with, as the size is decent as well, and the walk in wardrobe was a great idea, all ships should have ...
Our family cruise over the festive season had had to be cancelled three times because of the tragic pandemic. The cruise was probably the last occasion we could get our immediate family of three generations together for an extended vacation so there was much excitement when we finally set foot on board after all the disappointments over the previous three years.
We nevertheless approached ...
