Review for a Middle East Cruise on MSC Virtuosa
Mrboring
10+ Cruises • Age 80s
We picked this repositioning cruise to take advantage of a visit to Jordan, in particular Petra. The deal looked too inviting to resist, but how we wish we had. It all started to go downhill when we received an email from MSC at 3pm the day prior to boarding advising us that "with your safety and wellbeing in mind, we have taken the decision to slightly amend your cruise". This 'slight amendment' ...

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Sapphire Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 80s
We chose this cruise for the itinerary, which did not disappoint, especially both Petra in Aqaba and Herculaneum in Naples were amazing.
Sad to say the Sapphire Princess did ,the food served up was at best ordinary and at worst downright bad, bad veggies, rotton fruit. Menu repeated over and over with no regional menus associated with our port calls. Drinks were overpriced. The shows were ...

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Arcadia

We chose this cruise for my husband to experience the Panama Canal . Don’t expect to much of anything on this ship very poor in so many areas and ways P&O have really dropped their standards. Dated cabins with dirty stained sweaty pillows threaded quilt covers dirty shower curtain that wasn’t changed for the duration of our 24 day cruise, unhelpful rude reception staff ( females mainly) dirty ...

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on Arcadia

This was to be our holiday of our lifetime and had spent many years saving up for it. We had previously sailed with Princes cruises for several weeks at a time and it was marvellous and could not fault it, from the crew to the entertainment as well as the food. As soon as we went on board, we were disappointed, it looked so drab and unwelcoming, whereas on Princess, when you enter the ship, you ...

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on Arcadia
Lennart
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
What a cheap company. Never ever again a P&O cruise. None tasting food. Cheap entertainment. Dirty ship on all public spaces. Looked like the ship was 25 years old. Terrible design on many places. Many officers, especially English, don't know how to behave in front of passanger. Without passangers they wouldn't had any jobs. Very disapponting with behavior like that. A world cruise on 106 days and ...

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on Arcadia

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
This world cruise was a big disappointment when compared to Arcadia's 2010 world cruise.
P & O's pre-departure administration was poor and error prone. The embarkation was appalling. The ship's interior is drab and shabby with badly marked bulkheads, scuffed furniture, tape holding things together and numerous water leaks. My cabin had a visible dent in the mattress and the window's double ...

Review for a Middle East Cruise on Queen Mary 2 (QM2)

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s
We booked the first leg of QM2 round the world cruise and it turned out to be nothing but a huge disappointment. We did not like the queen mary - the layout is so weird you need to take a cotton reel otherwise you will get lost - some people describe it as quirky. Food in the Brittania restaurant was excellent but oh dear the Kings Court buffet reminded me of a very busy motorway service station, ...

Review for a Middle East Cruise on Queen Mary 2 (QM2)

We chose this cruise to Dubai with Cunard as it included the Suez Canal and Egypt. We were supposed to visit Cairo (Pyramids) and Luxor (Tombs) in the Middle East but due to passenger and crew safety issues this was substituted with Aqaba (Petra) and Fujairah (Maiden Port) prior to cruise via email. We rang and tried to cancel cruise but was told this was not a significant change!
Cruise didn't ...

Review for a Middle East Cruise on Queen Mary 2 (QM2)

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
Completely and utterly disappointed with Cunard. Embarkation was a shambles. It took two and a half hours standing in a queue to get checked in. We were very much looking forward to our cruise from Southampton to Dubai via the Mediterranean and Suez Canal,but as we stopped in Barcelona till 2-30 am and then in Civitavecchia till 11-30 pm we missed our slot for the Suez Canal.The captain said it ...
