Los Angeles Gourmet Food Cruises Reviews

After sailing almost exclusively with Regent, we decided to try Viking for our next Ocean cruise. They offered an itinerary not available with Regent at an attractive price. It was a 16 day Los Angeles to Hawaii return. This long post maybe helpful for those who are considering switching or choosing between the two. We called this a personal perspective because it relates to our particular ...

We are Long time Holland American Cruisers that took this cruise with Princess due to the timing and destination. Room: This obstructed view is fine from the view standpoint, it is at the top of the stairs from the promenade, but that was not an issue. The first 4 rooms on this deck including this one are narrower than other rooms and also have the really annoying feature of having two ...

Chose our 1st Viking cruise from an advertised special on internet. Didn't appreciate had to pay for cruise in full at time of booking. Very inconvenient. The attention to detail definitely noted. The food very good and well presented.would have liked more variety of entertainment and more recent movies in state room. Staff was wonderful. Disappointed in excursions but narrators and drivers were ...

From the embarkation to the sad day we had to leave the ship, it was wonderful. The weather and the seas did not take away from the on board experience. This was our first Viking cruise and I can see why they won Best. We have been sailing with another luxury cruise line that has reduced it's quality. Viking gave us what we paid for. Crew was exceptional from the Officers to cleaning crew. All had ...

We chose this cruise so we could celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in a special way. This was our first cruise. I would have liked at least two days at each port for further sightseeing. Half a day was just too short. We ate primarily at the World Cafe. I can control what I eat and how much I eat better at a buffet. I don't eat fish and felt there was an over abundance of fish featured ...

We chose this itinerary because we had done a Viking river cruise and thought having a journey with more relaxing time onboard would be very luxurious and relaxing. The accommodations are nice, spotless and relaxing. There are many areas to spread out on the Star. Many places to socialize, have a drink or seek privacy and read a book. Housekeeping services were exceptional, our room steward did a ...

We joined friends and my daughter for this "once in a lifetime" Antarctic cruise. The big takeaway was the outstanding customer service throughout the ship in every venue: room steward, dining room hosts and stewards, Guest Services, photo shop, and internet booth. Across the board the staff at each of these went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and delightful cruise! The Captain did a ...

This was our 17th cruise. We have sailed on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian and MSC. We have sailed on 6 prior Celebrity cruises, one of which was a past sailing on the Eclipse to Alaska. This trip was to Mexico with a 2 day stop in Cabo San Lucas. The focus of this post is what we have noticed has changed. First and understandably is the price. Everything is increasing in ...

This was our 3rd cruise with celebrity . 1st two were on the millinium. The ship was very nice room and veranda great most service was out standing. We were lucky enough to moveup to a sunset sky suite. So we ate in luminae for most meals. Most meals were exceptional but one night we didn't careful anything on the menu. We asked for an optional steak and the NY strip they brought ...

The ship appearance, crew attitude, pianist performance were great. The theater we visited once. There were long lines to get in. We were not too impressed with the variety of food in the cafeteria (World cafe). They also did not extend lunch beyond 2:30 on port days, so you missed the main lunch then. The hamburger counter had to be used instead if you took an excursion. The included ...
