Harwich to Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

When I purchase a transatlantic cruise, I expect the food to be above average. We are not the college/Caribbean crowd that gets drunk and parties on a 4 night cruise out of Miami, the demographics on board are more affluent. I had a wonderful cruise on Royal back in 97 and had no problem booking them this time expecting the same. In the years between 97 and 2015, I had been over on Holland ...

I rarely bother to write reviews, but I felt that his one had to be done. We boarded in Harwich for a Baltic cruise, and then stayed on board for the TransAtlantic cruise to Boston. I combined my thoughts on this cruise with the cruise taken just before it. It was a back-to-back. Generally, individuals working on the ship were very nice and gave good service. Gerald, our room steward, and ...

Crew was outstanding in servicing our family during meal times. They made this cruise less disappointing to us. The itinerary is perfect, great selection of cities with good range of excursions and tour options. Royal Tots was ok. Our room was not properly cleaned, esp. the balcony (there were slippers, pills from previous guests underneath the bed and plates from breakfast were left in the ...

The Brilliance of the Seas cruise to the Norwegian fjords and Iceland was far below what we have come to expect and appreciate from RCL. The ship looks "tired" and well worn, with very dirty areas seen as the glass elevators traveled up...the spaces between elevator and outside wall were, in places, filthy, making one wonder what the level of cleanliness throughout the ship was! The stop in ...

The theme of this cruise is how to extract the most money from our passengers. We have been on number of cruises . This was by far the worst. Dinning room menue is trimmed down to a bare bone selection so as to force you to go to the specialty restaurant. Wine is available on certain evenings at a 25 percent discount. I was charged full price. I was told that I had to ask for the discount. This ...

If this had been my first cruise it would have been my last, it will be the last I do with Royal Caribbean. They need a lesson from P&O. There was nothing to do on sea days that was not at extra cost (even then not everyone wants to play Bingo or gamble in the casino) They had 40 sunbeds in the Solarium for 2500 people so you had to be on them by 7.00am. It was too cold to go outside. They said ...

Doing a cruise through the norwegian fjords was a lifetime-wish of us. We decided to travel with Celebrity as our Adriatic-Cruise with the Silhouette 2 years ago was stunning - what a mistake! We booked 10 month in advance - with Celebrity in Frankfurt - and exeperienced the worst service ever! Unfriendly, unhelpful and stressed - all the time when I called. The informations regarding transport ...

The dining experience was fair. The servers in the dining rooms were great. They were very helpful about the next days ports and any other information we wanted to discuss. I would say the food wasnt the best - I expected better. There certainly was a lot of food but the quality wasnt very good. We ate at both of specialty restuarants; Gioviani's and Chops. Both of them were good, we liked ...

The port of Harwick England which is a two hour drive from Heathrow air port was an expense in time and money you have got to consider. Personally I thought it was a bit to much. The embarkation was extremely fast and efficient, our cabin was a nice balcony on the ninth deck, which gave us a nice view every morning. Our shore excursions varied as some countries were difficult to figure out what ...

It was very clear from day on on our dated and untidy ship, that money was needed to be spend on maintenance of many area, from the seating at the pool to the carpets and buttons in the lifts. We felt that perhaps this was an older ship so hey, let's not get excited with that. It was what happened every where else that was concerning me. The staff were not happy at all. I saw on three separate ...
