I had always wanted to return to South Africa since living there as a child. For our retirement we planned a dream vacation that began in Cape Town, picked up the NCL Dawn for a 12 night cruise and should have culminated in a 4 day stay in Mauritius, but as a result of the authorities suspecting a cholera outbreak on board we missed out on our Mauritius stay.
I have cruised for over 40 years ...
This was my second cruise. The first one I took in 2023 afeb from CPT to Namibia. I had the best time of my life on MSC Sifonia. It was my very first time and I thought I will bring my two daughters with. Which I did for the MSC Splendida to Mozambique. The entire experience is amazing. You can be anywhere in the world while you are inside the cruise. Dress to kill, go for shopping, clubbing, ...
We selected this cruise to cruise over the Christmas and New Year's Holidays and we had an amazing time. This was our fourth holiday cruise; all with Crystal and on Crystal Serenity. This is also our third voyage since since the inaugural cruise of Crystal this year.
For those who used to like old Crystal, my view is new Crystal is like old Crystal but better.
The crew makes Crystal very ...

We came back yesterday having spent a couple of days in Barcelona and then a 12-night cruise on the Celebrity Infinity sailing to Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Casablanca, Tangier, Cadiz, Valencia, Barcelona. The Infinity is the very first ship we ever sailed on, and now with many cruises under our belts, we were looking forward to seeing her again. Last time we had a standard balcony stateroom ...
We choose this cruise as a Christmas and New Year getaway.
Even though we had an inside cabin, it was very comfortable and suited our needs.

We booked a cabin for myself, my wife and our two teens - it was our first boat cruise. We were spoiled and handled extremely professsionally by all members of staff from the cleaning staff to the waiters and butlers. The embarcation process went smooth and our bags were delivered to our rooms quickly. The crew assisted with all our questions and helped out to make us feel at home. Food was always ...
This was our first trip on Norwegian Gem, but not first on NCL. We booked for the itinerary which originally included Turkey, Israel, Greece, Egypt, Sicily and Italy (Naples and Rome). Sadly, we were unable to visit Israel due to war with Hamas. We were pleased with the substitutions of Crete and Cyprus, having never visited either island before.
Ship and crew: We've been on several ...

Our cabin attendant Annalie was amazing, ...
We have cruised with Crystal 4 times previously and have anxiously awaited its return. We had a cabin with ocean view on deck 7. The cabin was 215 sq feet and was well laid out. There was ample drawer and closet space. The cabin attendant kept the cabin spotless.
The food at the main dining room, buffet and specialty restaurants was excellent. The selection of the entrees in the main ...
