Cruising isn't what it used to be!

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Norwegian Jade

CybrPA
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

My husband and I haven't cruised for over 25 years. Our last cruise was on a Carnival cruise back in the day when you had one dining option, the Grand buffet was grand and the food was equal to the best 5 star restaurants in New York. Boy times have changed cruising. We cruised for Christmas this year. I was excited to see all the holiday decorations on board. I was disappointed that the decor ...

Great time on a short cruise

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Caribbean Princess

SugarLandLouis
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Staff is outstanding in trying to make sure you have a great vacation. All of them smiling, asking what they can do for you, very well trained. Boat is okay, have seen fancier ones but this was still nice. The casino is small with few table games available. The food was really good. Only one meal that we did not like, the rest were memorable. The entertainment was for all different age groups and ...

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Emerald Princess

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

I have to tell you, I'm ready to fly home at the next port. I will be more than happy to follow up with a more positive review at the end of the cruise, but day one leaves a lasting impression. On the positive side..the only positive side...check in was a breeze and the people were very friendly. It went downhill from there. I paid double for my own private room and asked to be put in the ...

FANTASTIC first time on the Jewel

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Norwegian Jewel

AmethystAloysia
6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

We cruise on the Norwegian Jewel January 17th - January 24th, visiting Cozumel, Belize and Roatan. We are experienced cruisers; this was our 10th cruise, but our first on Norwegian, in the past we've cruised with Carnival and Princess. This cruise blew our expectations away, probably one of the best cruises we've ever had. The crew was FANTASTIC, so friendly and welcoming, engaging with the ...

Aside from the Trujillo mangrove tour, a wonderful vacation

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Norwegian Jewel

Tornado2
First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

We enjoyed our time on the Jewel. We enjoyed the freedom of Norwegian's freestyle dining. We mostly ate lunches and breakfasts in the Garden Cafe, and dinners in Tsar's Palace. The food was consistently high-quality and diverse; as a fan of Asian food, I especially appreciated the Cafe's rotation of Asian dishes. We thought about trying Azura, but the decor in there looked lackluster compared to ...

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Emerald Princess

rossterman
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

First time sailing with princess after sailing with carnival in the past on several cruises. Was very impressed with the condition of the ship, attitude of the crew, and food compared to carnival. Ship seemed less packed with passengers than the carnival cruises and crowd probably were in mid 40's and older (I'm mid 50 so better fit with music, waits at the bar, etc). Still plenty of night life ...

Another Nice Cruise on Emerald Princess; Dec 7th to 14th

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Emerald Princess

Thombtc
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

This was the second time we've been on the Emerald. We were on it during its second year in the Mediterranean and now it is seven years old. She still looks very nice and they take good care of her, painting, replacing carpet, etc that we saw while on board. Our mini suite, cabin D114 (portside), was very nice, but we were very forward and did feel the movement a little more than the mid ship ...

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Caribbean Princess

Gluten-Free
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

This was our first Princess cruise, and I was looking forward to it, but....This ship needs a refurb badly. Worn carpet, out of date furnishings and colors, tarnished metals. Even the shower reminded me of a cheap hotel shower, the kind you definitely don't want to forget wearing shower shoes in. Cabin and balcony were adequate, if not inviting. The crew staff seemed demoralized, and in some ...
