Lisbon to the Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

Itinerary was excellent. Lisbon to Miami 19 days. Excellent ports of call full of history and geography and culture. All of the staff on board SUN is wonderful. Assistant Cruise Director Carlisa is very friendly and welcoming. During the renovations NCL added extra specialty restaurants which are not up to NCL standard. Moderno restaurant has very poor table service. Salad selection is ...

My friend Jim and I enjoyed the Epic's December Transatlantic voyage from Lisbon to Manhattan. Here are some of my thoughts: The Good: We stayed at a terrific, boutique 22-room hotel in Lisbon called the Sao Vicente Alfama before embarking; Uber worked well to get us around the hilly Alfama neighborhood and to the Port; Our mini-suites(11249 and 11253)were comfortable and our cabin ...

This was my second NCL cruise, my first being on the Getaway last November. I tended to find myself comparing the full cruise with the one last year, so I might as well do that in this review where relevant. Embarkation: This was fine - we flew from Heathrow on an early morning flight, and just about managed to survive the taxi transfer to the cruise terminal by the time embarkation was ...

I have cruised with Norwegian 10s of times of the years and I get the feeling they are either failing as a cruise line or have become stagnant. There was nothing exciting about this recent voyage, the food menu and the entertainment hasn't changed for years. The ships looking old and tired, many patched up carpets and a lot of rust, its almost like they are not keeping on top of the ...

We have done multiple trans-Atlantic crossings on Holland American, Celebrity, and our all time favorite Crustal Cruises which has gone into bankruptcy. We were hoping our excellent travel agent was correct in suggesting Silversea as just what we wanted. This was a Lisbon to Ft. Lauderdale route wit only stops in Funchal and St.Juan,, P.R. Weather starting out was a little dismal but quickly ...

This November/December, my partner and I (age 40 & 32), along with my parents (age older) were fortunate enough to spend two weeks on board the beautiful Norwegian Star as she transversed the Atlantic on her repositioning voyage from Lisbon to Rio De Janeiro – our first transatlantic crossing. While we had our reservations embarking upon a cruise with so many sea days, we had a wonderful time and ...

This cruise was chosen to celebrate my 50th birthday because my travel companion did the Spring 2022 crossing from Miami to Lisbon and loved it. The cruise was fabulous! I highly recommend doing it if you have the chance. All the staff were incredible. A special shout out to the multi-talented hostess Evelyn, the amazing waitstaff and bartenders, especially Alfred, Ramses, Edward, Milton, ...

This was a repositioning cruise of 13 days from Lisbon to Tampa. We chose it as a potentially relaxing way to return to the USA after several weeks touring Portugal. Our Ocean Suite was large and the cabin staff kept it very clean. However, the Pride is an old ship, and the cabinet doors and drawer fronts were sagging and squeaky. We hesitated to open the closet door for fear of disturbing the ...

And I have taken several; why you wonder: #1 - I caught an intestinal illness on board, couldn't eat hardly eat anything but chicken soup and a little fruit for the last seven days of the cruise; it was an eleven night cruise. Couldn't determine if it was something I ate or if it was some inconsiderate passenger on board spreading disease; doesn't matter I caught it on board. I do want to ...

One of the reasons we chose this particular cruise was because of the stop in Bermuda. Well, on embarkation, we found out we couldn’t go to The Azores because of weather. We went south to Madeira instead. But, since we went south and then across the Atlantic from that point, we were too far south to go to Bermuda. We had hoped to see Bermuda to figure out where we wanted to go back and stay. ...
