Los Angeles Senior Cruises Reviews

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 ...

I went with my cousin on this cruise from LA to Miami via the Panama Canal. Overall, it was fine, but definitely not the caliber of cruises I had taken in the past (pre-pandemic) with RCC. My opinions are as follows: Cabin: We had a junior suite, mid-ship, that met my expectation for space and comfort. The beds were very comfortable and the veranda had a lounger, which was nice to relax in. The ...

Wanted to do the panama canal cruise from LA to Miami. Advertisement with johnny rockets and starbucks. On board reality hits you: No johnny rockets, no starbucks, to Mislead you they ise starbucks cups but not eh coffee brand itself. Ship is old and dirty, somethimes my plate from the windjammer was not clean. Food is left out to long resulting in bad food experience with burger ...

We chose Viking based on cruise ratings and have sailed on over 30 ocean cruises. Our review benchmark used 2019 sailings on HAL and Regent. The Star passenger areas are in good shape for the ship's age. However the ship is small and suffers from excessive pitch and heave in the typical Pacific 6 to 9 foot swells as compared to larger ships such as the HAL Westerdam, which we took on a nearly ...

This was a great cruise, and the sea days were filled with as much activity as you wanted. However, the included excursions in Hawaii were not good. They were poor choices of places to visit, and the trip to Pearl Harbor was too short. You had to rush through the exhibits and this should have been the only thing scheduled for the day. There were also hidden charges at Pearl Harbor that we were ...

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 ...

I chose this cruise because I wanted to escape from the cold, dreary weather before Christmas. My sister and I took this as a girls trip - we left the husbands and critters at home. The Good: The crew on this sailing were fantastic as were the Officers. Kate Syrett, the cruise director was amazing-though a little bit over the top for my taste. Kate lead exercise classes that were well ...

I love sea days. This cruise had 20. We went to tropical paradise places I could never had dreamed possible. Viking has absolutely the best service I have ever enjoyed on a ship. Happy, friendly and exceedingly helpful staff everywhere. Viking should not be anyone’s first cruise. You need to experience the others to really appreciate the difference. Twice a day cabin service, fresh water and ...

My husband and took this cruise November 10-December 12. We knew we had many sea days-20 I believe. In the paper that the Viking Star puts out daily, there were so many activities that a person could not do them all. We chose bridge and every day played for 2 hours. A person could also play 2 hours in the afternoon but we didn't opt for that activity. The Star, as well as the other Viking ...

We chose this cruise to get an extra 4 C&A points to boost us up to Diamond/Celebrity Elite for booking upcoming cruises. Also, we had not been to Catalina or Ensenada before, so this was a reasonable choice of itinerary. Our dates were constrained as well, so we settled on early November for this cruise. We booked our own flights, and arrived with minimal time due to a 2 hour delay arriving at ...
