Southampton to the Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

This was our sixth transatlantic cruise, the second on the Getaway and our eighth overall on an NCL vessel. Our cruise and the Getaway were par-for-the-course meeting expectations. No surprises or unexpected disappointments...It's one of the big ships with all the competitive bells & whistles. The staterooms & bathrooms are clean, somewhat spacious, comfortable and practical. A shortage of ubs ...

Birthday cruise. Boarded coach from Manchester Airport to Southampton. Best to be said for coach station was disorganised chaos. Eventually board coach for a pleasant journey to Southampton. Embarkation was easy and efficient. Found cabin which was a nice sized balcony cabin. Was quite clean (seals around shower where dirty and mouldy but cabin steward cleaned these once pointed ...

Lots of odd things brought this cruise down starting with the rather strange layout of the ship, the change to main dining times with both being brought forward 30 minutes, the very noisy main dining rooms thanks to the DD layout and of course the redirection of the ship due to hurricane Tammy. Boarding at Southampton was efficient as ever, Vigo was wet, I stayed on in Lisbon, the Canary Island ...

PREFACE Although this is mostly a review of anthem of the seas and excursions taken during the cruise, i have included information on activities pre-cruise. The information about the land-based portion are integral to the trip because you may visit one or more of those locations before or during a cruise you take. I hope the information provided throughout this article will be helpful to you. ...

We selected this cruise as we wanted to see London. Good price and high obc. Princess continues to go downhill. Main dining room is bland. Desserts are repetitive. Buffet sausages taste like cardboard. Liquid eggs are used. The head waiter said he’d get me omelet made with fresh eggs. Shouldn’t have be like that . Pastries are frozen, some hadn’t been thawed out. The other head waiter told me it ...

Overall, we had a fabulous cruise for 16 days from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale with excellent stops in France, Spain and Portugal. As my cabin mate has a cane and is Elite, we were put in a faster queue for boarding, which went extremely well. The Regal Princess is a stunning ship! I especially enjoyed midship on Decks 15 and 16 where you can see the front and rear of the ship from one ...

This was a bucket list cruise to celebrate both turning 70 this year. We have sailed on Sky Princess twice before and booked New England and Canada cruise as we loved everything about the previous cruises and thought it a great fit for our special cruise. We had no idea that, after packages were booked and paid for, Princess would re-invent what they were actually offering in said packages. We ...

After my less than stellar first Princess cruise on Island Princess in July, I was a little apprehensive about this one. However, it could not have been any different. Not only was the ship newer and in great condition but the whole experience was better, it was like sailing on different cruise line. Nothing on Sky Princess was my favourite anything from the cruise lines I’ve sailed but ...

Cruise selected as destinations allowed us to meet up with friends and family. We are long term Cunard cruisers , having also travelled with several other lines including a previous Princess which was good. Boarding a nightmare at SOU, “stateroom” good ( mini suite with bath). Public room seating is for approx. 1500 passengers ,not 3500. Theatre seats 900 therefore two shows only ...

My husband and i have been cruising for over 30 years and our experience with cunard was the absolute worst. we would never sail with them again nor would we recommend them to anyone. Our issues with the line began well before the cruise departed. their web site is difficult to navigate and provides only the minimal amount of information. our cruise fare included a beverage package and a ...
