Western Caribbean Luxury Cruises Reviews

We lived in the Panama Canal Zone in the 70's and we wanted to see changes & revisit memories. The canal part itself was great, partly because we went early to explore on our own, which we did at both ends. The transit was great. I guess due to transit times or restrictions, we were sad for our fellow passengers that they didn't have time for excursions on both ends. To see things on the ...

Panama Canal ,our bucket list. Most of the shore excursions were interesting, The ruins in Belize, and seeing Costa Rica , Colon,& Roatan, were ok. ATV s in Cozemel are more our speed. Most of the sites were geared to people with limited mobility. Was hoping to see more religious sites and churches as most of Central America are Catholic.Also most of the guides were very knowledgeable. Would have ...

This review is primarily for people contemplating Viking Expeditions Panama and Scenic South America cruise. This is only my opinion. We are frequent cruisers and habitual Viking Ocean customers (1 river and 7 Viking Ocean cruises). We booked this one as it was relatively inexpensive for a lot of days (18) on a new Expedition class ship. We wanted to experience it and decide if we would invest in ...

What we liked: Everything Viking did was great! The ship was modern, spotless, right-sized....just an overall wonderful ship. The staff and crew were very friendly and always willing to help. We always found something good to eat and gained the customary poundage. The destinations were fabulous on this itinerary. What we didn't like as much: Sea days were somewhat boring. Yes, we could ...

This was our second cruise with Oceania, although we are frequent cruisers. This cruise did not disappoint. The staff were excellent, extremely friendly yet professional. It is lovely when they remember your name and I marvel at their ability to learn new names every few weeks! The ship was spotlessly clean and had plenty of seating and pool chairs all the time so there was no sense of ...

This was out first time on a Viking cruise and there was lots to love but some disappointments. We are in our late 60's and have mostly cruised on Celebrity. We were looking to try a smaller ship, got a great offer from Viking and wanted to see the Panama Canal. A few observations: The Ship and Cabin: - the ship is beautiful with a refined elegance, lots of lovely spaces both inside ...

We looked forward to this trip with great anticipation. While the itinerary was not particularly appealing, the proximity to home was and we decided to go for it. The Excellent: - Our butler, who was wonderful and made the entire trip special. - Embarkation and parking, both easy and quick. - Staff, overall, was exceptional with a few notable exceptions not in keeping with the overall ...

Back to cruising! After four long years the time had come to return. First, a little about myself as it can help frame a review. I started cruising when I was 25 (and was practically dragged on board by my best friend!) and was instantly addicted. My partner and I are both in our late 50’s (in my case, unfortunately only for another few days!) and we have recently tended to cruise on/in ...

This was our third Viking ocean cruise and second on the Star. We have been on numerous Viking River cruises. The cruise had very good food for the most part, and some outstanding dishes, although during the first three dinners, despite notifying the staff, they served food (onions) that my wife could tolerate. After that, management got involved and the problem was solved. There was no wine ...

We chose this cruise primarily for the itiniary and except for the New Zealand ports (Auckland and Bay of Islands) everything was new to us. There is no doubt that sailing on a luxury ship like Silver Shadow through Melanesia, Micronesia and the Philippines can't get any better and Silversea did an excellent job choreographing the whole process. This was our first Silversea experience as we've ...
