We chose this cruise because of the destinations. We enjoyed each and every port and are amazed at the beautiful locations.
The ship has numerous lounges that were enjoyed by the guests. From the exercise classes provided poolside to the dancing in the lounges, you can say that this cruise was very active on all fronts. The theater entertainment was good and the dancers were excellent, all ...
When we were looking for a cruise to use our two $250 soon to expire future cruise credits, we chose the Getaway September 6th cruise that would be sailing out of Lisbon, which is one of our favorite cities to visit in Europe. Unfortunately, the cruise began with a terrible boarding process for nearly every passenger on the ship except for those who had booked cabins in the "Haven," who were ...
I almost never write reviews and I'm afraid this one is going to be long, but I feel I must say something. I have been on 8 cruises on 5 different lines and my wife, growing up in Long Beach, lost count but is over 50 cruises. This cruise has broken us from EVER going on NCL and almost from ANY cruise line ever again. From pre-boarding to disembarking almost every aspect was a zero. While I take ...
Here are the good and bad about this particular trip via Norwegian Getaway. Boarding was a disaster. No consideration for your selected boarding time. Spent well over 2 hours in line outside to get on ship. Room was a balcony and was good except for outlets. There were no USB outlets and two plugs. Hair dryer is close to balcony and not in bathroom. Small regfrigerator filled with water ...
We heard this cruise line was ok. Wow, were we wrong! Uncaring, indifferent personnel. Mediocre food at best. Restaurants and buffets were subpar.
They made many errors regarding our documentation including screwing up the transfer to the airport. We meticulously provided the information and reviewed for accuracy. They still screwed up. We were forced to pay an exorbitant amount of money ...
Having read a lot of negative reviews of Prima I was a little sceptical about booking Viva. We did it anyway and I'm so glad we did. It did not disappoint at all. In fact in my mind it proved a lot of haters wrong.
But hey, I'm a positive person who looks forward and not to the past so maybe that's why ?
In short we loved 95% of Viva and yes there are a few issues, which we fully recognise ...
We travelled as a family on the Viva on its 2nd ever cruise. Overall we had a fabulous trip with very little to complain about. Our favourites things about the ship were Syd Normans, the outdoor area on Deck 8, especially the infinity pools, Hudsons Dining Room , the Indulge Food Hall, the Observation Lounge and the kids club. Areas that were less to our taste were the main pool deck area and the ...
We travelled on the second Viva trip out of lisbon.
I wasn't going to leave a review as I like a ship when it is not too crowded, and too many positive reviews will only encourage crowds!!! But.....then I thought that was a bit unfair, so here goes.
Embarkation in Lisbon was a dream. We arrived at the port at 10.50am having walked from our city centre hotel (about 15 minutes walking) and ...
First time to the Mediterranean, we chose this beautiful brand new ship to embark on. Reasons for choosing this ship were mainly the karting track, thermal spa, and itinerary. We opted for the 2nd guest flies free, 2 specialty dining package among the Free at Sea promotion offerings. I traveled with my husband, 5 year old son, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law and had connecting balcony rooms on ...
Just returned from an enjoyable cruise Lisbon to Southampton…….our second Crystal experience 8 years on, and surprised to find the newly reimagined ship much as we remember it!
Positives:
Easy embarkation
The ports of call, especially Bordeaux
Our comfortable 2018 refurbished Aquamarine stateroom / shower room
Bed and linens
Housekeeping standards especially our ...
