Back ground information-We have taken 30 plus cruises on various lines. We flew from Boston to London taking the underground to our hotel which was located near Liverpool Station. Stayed in London for 3 days then took the train from Liverpool station to Harwich with a change at Manningtree. Problem-doors on train wouldn't open, Finally someone helped out (not the conductor) & showed us you had ...
Our first TransAtlantic cruise! We absolutely enjoyed it each day. Our cabin was clean, very comfortable beds, towels always refreshed, cabin steward always pleasant. Loved the size of the ship easy to get around and this class ship most like a " traditional " cruise ship.
We thought food was great! We ate in all areas of the ship except speciality restaurants because we felt food was quite ...
We have cruised with RC several times, we are Diamond members and did really enjoy the Brilliance and the cruise. We stayed several nights in London prior at the Grosvenor House. Great hotel in a central location. Transfer the the port was good and embarkation was fast. We enjoyed each port, Ireland being our favorite. No complaints with any of the excursions we took, the ship, or our balcony ...
The itinerary for this Brilliance of the Seas cruise provided 6 ports (Le Havre, Plymouth, Cobh, Faroe Islands, Iceland - two days, and Halifax) on the way to Boston, as well as 7 sea days - 4 consecutive days between Iceland and Halifax.
Thoughts about the ports:
- Le Havre itself is not a great destination. Its best attraction is a museum of modern art, with work of the Impressionists and ...
Reading some reviews of Infinity I was expecting to be a little disappointed but delighted to say that my lowered expectations were well exceeded in most areas.
Reaching Harwich was a pain, needing a train and platform change at Manningtree - not fun with luggage and must be awful for anyone with mobility issues. Boarding simple and painless and the cabin was very quickly available. No surprises ...
We just returned from a 2 week Trans-Atlantic cruise on the Celebrity Infinity, leaving Harwich UK on 10/13/14. This was my wife’s and my first cruise. We had a veranda room mid-ship on deck 7. Overall, I would give the trip a grade of 80%. The trip was better than we expected, and we were happy and satisfied. But there are definitely areas where a small amount of work could bring much ...
We've cruised about 29 times and this was our 3rd RCCL cruise. The ship, about 12 years old, is still very pretty and easy to navigate. Our cabin, 9034, was a balcony and far enough away from the atrium to avoid the noise that others have complained about. The cabin attendant was perfect. The ship itself had some issues. We needed to call to report plumbing problems four consecutive days. Others ...
Overall, this was a very enjoyable cruise from London (Harwich) to Boston. Our oceanview room was satisfactory and the decor of the ship very nice. Our room steward and waiters all were fine, nothing to complain about. But as others have mentioned, on our thread and in reviews, the food, and some amenities are falling on this ship! After having fantastic dinners on Holland America and Carnival, I ...
This was my 25th cruise. My 2nd on Celebrity. This repositioning cruise was an excellent value and wonderful crossing to Miami. The ports of call, La Rochelle, Vigo, Gijon & Lisbon were okay. I would not recommend any of them as there are more exciting ports of call to travel in Europe.
The staff on Celebrity could not have been nicer. We were constantly greeted by staff and officers through out ...
In my opinion Holland America sets the standards for cruising, and I rate it a 5* out of 5*. Infinity I rate a 4*.
The ship's management and staff were all first class. The entertainment guest selection was outstanding, as well as the ship's singers and dancers. There were many selections of activities on board to satisfy almost everyone's desires. The 5 ports we visited exceeded our ...
