Took cruise to see the iconic sights of France- Province regions. Great seeing France. Lovely wineries and scenes. Great history. Overall a lot of money for having to serve myself twice a day with buffet. Standing in a lineup to get food everyday and jostling for seating each meal. Food seemed rationed. Continental Breakfast for early birds was small muffins and croissant and a couple of ...
We chose this yacht because of its looks and port destinations. We love Greece so a trip to the islands was very appealling.
We loved our Oceanview cabin, loads of storage with a decent size bathroom. We enjoyed being on deck 3 near the bar and restaurant. No noise from above (Observation lounge). We took advantage of all the included tours and paid for the Santorini tour. All were well ...
We just wrapped up our inaugural cruise with Emerald aboard AZZURRA, but let me tell you, it was far from smooth sailing. The good points like comfortable bed were overshadowed by the disappointments, leaving us with a clear message: we will NEVER cruise with Emerald again.
Let's dive into the grievances that ruined our experience:
- Prepare for a delightful whiff of sewage, as our room ...
We chose this cruise because we liked the itinerary and we enjoyed all the places we visited. The boat itself is very nice, cabins a bit snug but bed very comfortable. Food and wine all good but restaurant lacked a bit in terms of ambiance though staff all helpful and friendly. Main issue was the unseemly scramble if you wanted a table for two. Also at lunchtime it would be helpful if a copy of ...
Chose Emerald quite a while ago having been on their river cruises. The style is very similar to the river operation in many ways.
The ship on first impressions looked off white not gleaming. During the cruise some painting took place that gave a better appearance.
Depending on taste there is a lot of grey on the ship. The lounge has some furniture that is not easy to arrange comfortably ...
This was our first experience, both with Emerald and with a super Yacht. The ship is lovely. The cabin was well laid out and comfortable. I read previous reviews about the staff and found ours to be less than the superlatives I've read. With a couple of exceptions, the wait staff were efficient but did not remember names or preferences. Some were not even approachable -- efficient, but not ...
We went on our Honeymoon. We had waited a year to be able to go on a River Cruise, post pandemic. The food and service was outstanding. The entertainment on board was hit and miss. We loved the word game! The excursions were informative and fun.
On one of our excursions, we found out from another cruise line that the lock operators were on strike. This person had been staying in a hotel for 3 ...
This cruise took us to several bucket list locations and everything was great. Smooth, quick embarkation, a comfortable and spacious room, and friendly attentive staff all made this an amazing trip. The excursions were well organized and went smoothly- the buses were comfortable and air conditioned. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Even when our Jerusalem tour ran late ...
A companion and myself were on a 21 day cruise .
What a disappointment!!!
The food was average ( nothing great ) but the brochure made it sound like the food would be of Michelin restaurant quality. Day after day the same thing was served with small differences. For the cost of this cruise the food should have been of a much higher quality
The shower drains seem to be too small for the ...
This was our 9th cruise. Most of the others were with Silversea. We chose the Azzurra because it only holds 100 passengers. We wanted to try something smaller than Silversea ships. Boy, what an experience! There were only 53 passengers and 76 crew. As you can imagine, the service was really great. The crew member wanted to provide great service wherever we were. This was our best cruise ...
