Southampton Singles Cruises Reviews

I wanted to do another UK cruise go to places like Shetland and Newcastle as I’m a fan of the TV shows and also Liverpool as I had not been there. I’m just about through with long haul flights so I tried to book on the Iceland/Greenland tour but at the time (Feb), I was told all the solo cabins had been sold. I waited about 5 weeks and cabins became available again and I was able to book that tour ...

This was our first time on QM2 since 2017 - we very much enjoyed this 4 night break in a deck 13 Britannia Club cabin. Here are my thoughts. Cabin Despite being adjacent to the door to the open deck, the location was generally pretty quiet. The Art Deco design highlights gave the cabin a nice touch of elegance. The shower with the glass door was great, good water pressure and consistent ...

We have cruised several times, mostly on NCL. What I like about NCL is the freedom to eat when and where I like. I see a lot of reviews that mention nickel and diming. We like NCL because we only pay for what we want. No one will force you to buy something you do not want or need. Usually, NCL is fairly inexpensive compared to other cruise lines. It is funny when someone mentions certain features ...

I start by questioning some rather negative reviews of Celebrity Silhouette which reference guests' demographic, number of children onboard, busyness of ship, over crowding etc. I don't believe this to be different to any other cruise ship (of a comparable class or equivalent 'passengers to space ratio'), having sailed myself on Royal Caribbean, P&O, Princess as well. My family (me, my wife, ...

We chose this cruise as we had been impressed by Celebrity on a taster day visit we had done pre-Covid and because of the interesting itinerary. We had been concerned about some negative reviews post-Covid suggesting standards had slipped. However, we got a decent deal with plenty of OBC so decided to press ahead. We were delighted that we did. The whole experience was first class, we could ...

On this cruise were myself, my husband and our 18 Yr old. We were in suite 4102 and lucky enough to dine in the Princess Grill restaurant. Our itinerary: Southampton Sea day Haugesund Skjolden Olden Bergen Sea day Southampton The ship, suite, staff, food and ports were all perfect! Dinning We mostly made good use of the Princess Grill restaurant where ...

I chose a 7 night cruise to France and Spain for myself, husband and our 17 year old teenager departing Southampton as we live in London and could drive to the port in about 2 hours. We parked our car at the port and it was a short walk to the ship. Our luggage was collected from us in the car park and delivered to our staterooms later that evening. The cruise had a packed schedule of ...

An iconic route of Southampton to New York. We had a princess grill suite. Boarding was easy - we were able to walk past the big queue because we had a princess grill suite and pretty much get straight on the ship. The room was comfortable. We were greeted with a bottle of sparkling wine! The bed was so cosy and we slept so well every night. They have UK plugs. The hair dryer isn’t ...

This was a Baltic cruise to countries we’d always wanted to visit—Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Sweden and Denmark. The ports were all wonderful, and we enjoyed meeting the people in these countries and experiencing their culture. This relatively small ship, on which we’d sailed before, was perfect for making these stops without the hassle of long on and off waits. We thought the food and ...

Embarkation - Celebrity Silhouette embarkation was on a Saturday. We stayed overnight in a local hotel, very close to the terminal. A word of warning to anyone walking with their cases: the road down to the terminal is not a smooth journey, with broken pavements, rough surfaces and few lowered kerbs. However, once we arrived at the terminal the process could not have been more straightforward. ...
