My wife and I are veteran cruisers. This was probably our 20th cruise. This was, by far, the worst cruise we've ever had. It was obvious that Ritz has only been in the cruise business for a year. For the money, I would pick Seabourn, Crystal and Silver Seas 10X over this experience. The communication was the poorest we've ever had and the ship was boring. We scoured our dashboard weekly and ...
We previously cruised with Holland America, Princess, and Carnaval. We chose this cruise for the interesting ports and for the food experience. We did Oceania tours at every port and were happy with all. They were well organized and very informative. Embarkation was easy, as long as one did the online preparation. We were on board by 11:30 am on embarkation day and had lunch on the Terrace ...
I chose because of the itinerary and wanted to try Seabourn cruise line. We have sailed multiple times around the Mediterranean with Silversea so I wanted to go outside of the Mediterranean. This cruise started in Lisbon to Canary Islands and to Morocco into Med to Motril Spain and ended in Lisbon. While anticipating our trip I read a lot of Seabourn reviews and was nervous about the trip ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We have not cruised on Oceania before, but got the brochure and it had places we wanted to go. This was our first post -covid cruise.
We had bought our cruise just before the Simply More promotions- so wine was not included.
Overall, it was a very nice ship-we had a few issues with the trim in our cabin popping off and problems with the sliding ...
Several years I started a series of blogs relating our adventures[and misadventures] of cruising with someone who has walking difficulties ie my husband.
For anonymity I call him 6.
You may remember the 70s series about Steve Austin an astronaut who was severely injured and rebuilt with bionics to the tune of 6 million dollars.
Well as a result of Rheumatoid arthritis hitting him in his ...
We just returned from 10 days on the Riviera, and we had an amazing time! This was our second cruise with Oceania, having sailed on the Marina last year. We found every member of the crew to be so friendly, helpful, and professional. We were always greeted with a smile. My husband and I definitely felt spoiled by exceptional service from everyone we encountered, from our cabin steward to wait ...
First of all I would like to say that we are both Diamond Cunard World Club members. We were passengers in Princess Grill on the short segment from Southampton to Hamburg October 20-22, 2023. This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had on a Cunard ship. This was our 12th sailing on QM2 and 34th cruise with Cunard. QM2 was scheduled to enter dry dock the morning we arrived in Hamburg. I ...
Our first cruise with Oceania after enjoying cruises with Silver Seas, Holland America and Cunard. Food was generally excellent, but speciality restaurants need to be booked well in advance as large groups book in bulk. Buffet was certainly no better than our experiences with lower cost cruise lines. Recently refurbished balcony stateroom was very comfortable with a well designed and relatively ...
Our 5th time on QV and our 7th with Cunard we have always gone Grills for an expensive treat but,due to rapidly falling standards and rapidly increasing prices in Grills, we opted to try Brittania Class and were pleasantly surprised.
Boarding was QE2 Terminal and was a bit shambolic because ,as usual,lots of people ignored their allocated time turning up hours early and the place was manic ...
Always wanted to see Italy, Greece, and love to cruise! Beautiful ship, friendly staff and guests from all over the world! We were pampered, entertained , delightful restaurants, smooth sailings d fun excursions!
We found the private deck and hot tub! We love the salad options! We had a wonderful Cod sandwich at the Wave for lunch! Always a table ready for us to dine! Our butler took good care ...
