Martinique to the Caribbean Cruise Reviews

I picked this cruise because it allowed us to visit 6 ports and by getting creative with excursions, we got to visit 8 islands in a week. We generally had a wonderful time. The food was good at both the main dining room for dinner as well as the buffet. I was generally always able to eat something I liked. They have hot sauce, salt, and pepper in the buffet so you can spice up any food you find ...

Despite the negative reviews of MSC I chose to cruise on the Seaside because the Caribbean/Antilles itinerary was exactly what I was looking for. 6 Islands in 7 days. I booked an MSC excursion in each port and found the guides to be friendly, informative and fun. I had especially been looking forward to the Botanical Gardens and beach tour in Guadeloupe because I really enjoy the British detective ...

We (2 adults) chose this cruise specifically for the date (it fit our calendars) and the ports - Martinique, Guadaloupe, St Lucia, Barbados, St Vincent & Grenada). I was a bit hesitant because of all the negative reviews but WOW! We did not have a single complaint. Nice cabin (comfortable bed, veranda and full size couch.) The food was good at both the dining room and buffet BUT the ...

- boring ship. Activities are minimal. And when they do happen they are sub par - pools shut down at 8. Hot tubs not actually hot. - staffing seems low. They have the employees but they hangout like they’re are friends chit chatting while not caring for guests. - the emergency training meetings was a joke. When to the theatre to be told we had to go back to room to watch the video. Many ...

This was my third Island Windjammer Cruise, and the second on Vela. This year was the usual itinerary that leaves from Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia, and goes to Martinique before returning to Saint Lucia. My wife and I were on the same ship last year, but had to do a southern itinerary as France did not allow cruise ships to dock in 2022 due to Covid. My favorite part of this Sailing Cruise is the ...

It was a cruise to forget, Just got back from the cruise, I had booked 2 cabins 1 for my wife and I and the other for my 2 kids we were a group with 3 other cabins in our group, worst cruise ever, first we had purchased the upgraded denim package booked and paid for them upon boarding this was denied in a very rude way and msc saying it was the agents fault ended up it was msc’s fault they ...

The ship has beautiful architecture and looks very pretty from the outside. That’s pretty much all I have good to say about it. MSC is a cargo ship company not a cruise line company and it shows. They don’t know what they are doing and are just trying to make a bunch of money as possible by ripping people off. I’ve enjoyed myself off the ship more than I did on the ship. For starters, the ...

Ponant is one of the few cruise lines that offers multiple cruises without a single supplement. For almost the same price as a Caribbean cruise on a premium cruise line (double for solos), I was able to book a mid-ship balcony cabin on an ultra-luxury Ponant cruise. Le Dumont d'Urville is a beautiful mega-yacht with a modern, minimalist design. Food, drinks, service, cabins, lectures and so forth ...

It looked like a good deal BUT,! the food overall was poor, only ever warm to cold never hot and very small portions with no potatoes or veg to bulk it up. The wine was only two types offered as they had “run out”! Breakfast was a nightmare, you were literally jammed in and couldn’t get out. I asked for English breakfast tea, first they took ten minutes to get the tea, then another ten to bring ...

My girlfriend and I have cruises with other cruise lines before and thought we would give msc a try mainly due to the itinerary. What a mistake. It all started with booking. We purchased on msc.ca. The purchase of the cruise was fine but we came to learn we could not book any excursions online or shuttle transfers since the website did not work. Why launch a site if it is not ready!?!!? Online ...
