Africa Family Cruises Reviews

The balcony cabin was well appointed and the view and experience amazing. Cabins were cleaned on a regular basis and service always came with a smile. Coffee and cool drinks served at breakfast spoiled the elegance of the trip. The pizzas could also be covered with more toppings. The dinners in the evening were enjoyable although certain dishes such as the calamari (fish platter) was a ...

We selected this trip as it was arranged by Bokradio and this is where it was advertised regularly as well as we are listeners of this radio station every day. The number of Afrikaans singers whom committed to the trip also contributed to our decision to go on the trip. The arrangements were excellent and as myself is a double amputee we were accommodated through early on board as well as ...

ON the face of it not a lot seemed to have changed on the Queen Elizabeth since we last sailed on her seven years ago…and vowed never to do so again after the ship’s truly unforgettable inaugural voyage to the Caribbean. Roy Walker, star of the “Comedians” and “Catchphrase,” was still the biggest name performing in the Royal Court Theatre at night, a retired law enforcement officer was giving ...

I rated the cruise good because it took us where we wanted to go; the ship itself is good; the public areas, including the pool areas not at all crowded; the restaurants and staff were good and friendly BUT all this is let down by the most abysmal administration and organisation. From first boarding nothing that required any kind of intelligent organisation was done well. Some examples ...

We were traveling as a once in a lifetime family vacation. We have boys with wide age differences (29 to 14yrs) so getting everyone in one place that provides every level of entertainment was a challenge. We purchased FTTF which is worth the money (especially for a trip like this where standing in lines would make everyone cranky)so embarking and disembarkation were smooth. My 14yr old did not ...

I prefer longer cruises than the standard three or five day cruises. I really cherish the days at sea and both Mauritius and Reunion are fabulous destinations. The thing about an MSC Cruise that I appreciate is the activities planned and presented - you can be busy 24/24 or you can be as 'laid-back' as you choose. Overall the Staff are friendly, attentive and go out of their way to make your ...

A good break to destress and relax at sea. The on board entertainment was excellent and our assigned waiter for the El Poque restaurant second seating for dinner provided exceptional service - Hadi from Indonesia. The food however was average on occasion, especially the Indian cuisine - was not well prepared. Also, my other family members who traveled, had issues with their Balcony suites ...

This was my first cruise. I wanted a cruise going far away from South Africa and I made a good choice by choosing this cruise. The food is excellent. The bar service was so magnificent. The entertainment was out of this world. I made a mistake of leaving my children behind as I wanted to spend some time with wife alone but my next cruise I am definitely taking my kids with. The cabin was neat and ...

Overall it was a great experience! We thoroughly enjoyed the new ship even though it took a few days to get used to. We did miss the Symphonia though. This is our 3rd cruise and definitely not our last. (We have already booked for New Year 2019) The cabin was bigger then we expected and were very happy we booked a balcony....Even though we had extremely noisy neighbors. It was always very clean ...

Easy way to travel - lots of entertainment, excellent food, great spa & gym! Travelled from Durban to Mauritius & Réunion. Sea was calm, had a wonderful Balcony cabin. Preferred later dining slot & managed to request a table just for 2 which made experience more suitable. Entertainment shows were good - enjoyed the comedian from Durban & the last night's show was excellent. Excursions in ...
