We joined the Sojourn in LA and disembarked in Taipei at the end of the second segment of the World Cruise 72 days later. Our last trip on the Sojourn had been the last two segments of the 2023 World Cruise from the Seychelles to Barcelona, and we now have about 200 days with Seabourn. We rated the 2023 voyage overall a 9.5/10. This years we would rate an 8.5+ to 9/10, still excellent. Why lower? ...
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 ...
This has our 17th cruise (not all with Princess) so we are not new to cruise ships. This was the worst cruise of all and we will not be sailing with Princess again. Sorry Princess but your services on the cruise have ruined it for us. The first day, we went on the ship tour and went up to the Lotus Spa. I asked about using the sauna/steam room and was told by the female attendant the there would ...
I have been cruising with Carnival for the last 15 years and had good experiences with them up until 2024. We did the 15 day Hawaii cruise and were highly disappointed.
Food and Service on the Carnival Miracle was subpar at best and the ship had many things out of service like ice makers throughout the ships drink stations. We noticed that there was far less crew in the MDR and at the bars. ...
Amazing! This cruise was so good. The decoration was so unique Alice & Wonderland themed. The food was TO DIE FOR ! The entertainment was amazing. Wow. The workers were the best people ever. Amazing time. Go to all the activities and shows. They’re all so good
Definitely go to the dining room every night and for brunch. Also spend the extra and go to Nic & Nora’s- best steak and sides I’ve ...
Navigator Notes
Although, our Royal Caribbean Cruise, for our multiple generations over New Years was not all bad, the cons very far exceeded the pros. We cruised multiple times as our children were growing up and loved it as a family. We haven’t cruised in 10 years and have now learned that things have changed a lot. Prior to booking I had read online reviews that ‘everything was an upcharge’. ...
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 ...
So this was my 4th cruise.(all on carnival). I didn't really enjoy my first 3 cruises but my idea really wanted to go. I have been to the long Beach terminal on all 4 trips and never had an major issues with the staff until this trip. When arriving , I was surprised when told i had to drive offsite to downtown long Beach to park, ($80 prepaid btw), and take a shuttle back. This took about an hour ...
We very much enjoyed the Hawaiian Sojourn Cruise on Viking Star. Our PV2 Stateroom was lovely, clean, comfortable and spacious. There was plenty of closet space and drawers for all of our clothes. We loved the robes and slippers they provide. The bathroom is lovely with a heated floor and towel rack and has plenty of storage space as well. The staff and crew on Viking are exceptional, always ...
Our cruise on Viking was so-so at best. I will be avoiding that cruise line in the future.
LAX as a major departure/arrival airport and San Pedro as the cruise port are EXTREMELY unsuitable and inconvenient. I have no idea why Viking selected this terrible combination as one of their two basic ports (the other being New York -- can you believe it?).
There was hardly anything for us in the ...
