First time with the Queen Mary 2 doing SYD-SIN. We have been with Royal Carribean Allure of the Seas and Aida Blue. First time coming in we have visited the pursers office to ensure we don't get charged their hefty daily room service charge.. then next day the charges were applied to our room... anyways we got this fixed right away by visiting them.. no worries. We were charged again though ...

Trying to escape the winter for a while we booked this cruise. Having been on many excellent MSC cruises before we were pretty disappointed this time. Food at the buffet restaurant: cold, not much choice Food at the restaurant: mixed, usually hot but sometimes not good, fellow passengers even got different meals (not what they had ordered and the waiters insisted that it was correct ...

Cruised on the Dawn for the itinerary. Staying onboard all the way to Capetown. No complaints at all regarding the ship or the food. The only reason for 4 stars is I believe a 5 star rating is reserved for spectacular cruising and very few cruise ships get that rating. The Dawn has gotten us to all the ports as expected and will do so for the next 2 weeks. Being an older ship, it is very ...

We chose this cruise because of the Indian Ocean and east Africa itinerary knowing the ship was older but refurbished in 2021 and 4 star rated. The rating should be 2 or 3 star at best and here is why- Main dinning room food options while well prepared, were limited, no lobster, no escargot, no prime rib. We found it dumbed down and nothing special. The ship is tired and quite ...

Not an enjoyable cruise

Overall we didn't find much we liked about this ship or NCL's ability to communicate clearly. The extra charges for simple things really turned us off. Room service is $5 for breakfast and $10 the rest of the day. They will not allow an electric kettle in the room like other lines so if you want hot water it will cost a little over $12 for them to bring you a hot pot of water. Want to get some ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 30s

Booked by family, they were 11 of us. Great experience for a first time. Staff are welcoming and are always willing to help, but some struggled with English. Stop in Khasaab from Dubai then Muscat, gives you a chance to see Oman, although its very empty and boring. I wish is the cruise stopped at 6am and leaves next day 6am because, a 6am to 6pm is not enough time to see a city. Prices need to be ...

Service is wonderful, ship is tired/old, food is abysmal, pre-cruise communication is impossible.

I've cruised on numerous cruise lines and would likely never choose MSC again. Crew is friendly and works so hard - I honestly felt bad for them! They are understaffed, their managers are rude to them (yelling, snapping -- in front of customers?! Appalling.) Staff aren't given streamlined processes and it shows. (Mostly at the bars - unnecessarily crazy for servers and bartenders) Ship ...

Everything was great. I’m very excited. Best place for holiday. I recommend everyone to visit there for holidays. The ship, the cabin, the staff, the food etc EVERYTHING was great. It’s really worthy to spend your money there. I was travelling with my friend for 1 week. Every night we had unforgettable parties near the pool.The pool was small but anyway very comfortable.Every evening we had dinner ...

NCL Dawn Cruise from Istanbul to Dubai Nov 24 to Dec 13 The cruise changed a number of times. This was explained as a result of the conflict in Palestine. However, stops in Egypt were removed with others added. Sea days were also added. A credit of $200 for the stateroom was provided for the entire trip. No explanation of the compensation for the missed ports, additional sea days, and reduction ...
