Joyous, Perfect Start, Thrilled to be on Again and a Blip due to the Virus, No one's fault.
"The ship looked great, food outstanding, the perfect service that we all have experienced, terrific Captain, terrific Julien , the hotel manager, the doctor magnificent, the heart felt stories from the crew and their lives at home without work.Then Christmas Night at 9, while having a delicious dessert, Bûche de Noël, we received the announcement the cruise had been cancelled due to too many positive people and we were returning to St...."Read More

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Wind Surf

IpswichChris
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My husband and I have traveled a lot, but never cruised. We weren't interested in large ships, so our first cruise was on the Wind Surf in May, 2023, Italy and Croatia. In spite of very bad luck with the weather, we loved the experience and are already planning our next Windstar trip. The ship is older and shows signs of wear if you look for it, but that didn't bother us a bit...we loved the ...

Windstar keeps excelling

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Wind Surf

Duthie
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

This was our 5th cruise with Windstar and our 2nd on the Wind Surf. Took this 4/30/23 sailing as it was as far out as our FCC would take us on the schedule. We knew the Spring weather could be a mixed bag (and it was) but that didn't damper our spirits or Windstar's casual elegance. Windstar consistently excels at great staff; they call you by name by the second day, excellent dining options; ...

Windsurf - Our Favorite Ship

Review for a Transatlantic Cruise on Wind Surf

MargotH24
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

This was the third trans-Atlantic cruise we have taken on Windsurf. She remains our favorite ship - she's not young but elegant, graceful, and really just about perfect. Embarkation in Sint Maarten was seamless and we quickly got checked in. Found many familiar faces from past crossings - some come back every year. Staff just as welcoming and helpful as always. After a brief muster drill (no ...

Great Family Cruise

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Wind Surf

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Quick background. This was our 46th cruise, the 3rd on Windstar. We treated my son and his family so they could experience a 5-star cruise line. Windstar didn't disappoint! Flying from Charlotte, NC no problem to St Maarten. Customs there was very slow but the transfer to the ship was fine. Checked in at the cruise terminal and showed our vaccination paperwork & passports again and found ...

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Wind Surf

winterdaancer
6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

I have been on numerous other cruises with other companies. Hands down this was the most fun. The ship is beautiful and in excellent condition and very well maintained. The staff was incredible from the Steward to the Hotel Manager, The excursion desk, the restaurant staff and the captain. I can't figure out how so many people knew my name. The food was great and all home made not pre-made which ...

Great Holiday Vacation On the Wind Surf, Again

Review for a Caribbean - All Cruise on Wind Surf

Strenz
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We travel with Windstar Cruises and we vacation with Windstar Cruises. Since we are from the freezing Northeast, we like to vacation in the Caribbean preferable early winter. We were fortunate to spend 17 days on the Surf over the Christmas Holiday. When traveling in the Caribbean in December the sea can be rougher but usually not that bad. This trip the ocean was not really choppy but it did ...

Strenz
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We sailed with the Wind Surf on Sicilian Splendors ( Oct.6, 2022) The name of the itinerary was incorrect on the form to write this review. We reserved this trip 2020, 2021, and finally we were able be on the Surf this October. Three years of waiting with anticipation and indeed it did not disappoint. Everything about the Wind Surf that we love was out in full force: superb staff, beautiful ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on Wind Surf

Ski Mom 2
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We have been trying to sail the Classic Dalmatia and the Croatia Coast itinerary since COVID and I'm so happy our dreams finally came true! We have been lucky to sail on Windstar on a previous 6 cruises so it was like coming home! This time around we booked Cabin 146 (this was our 3rd attempt at this specific itinerary). We typically sail aft so I wasn't very excited about being so far forward ...

Great ship, terrific crew

Review for a Mediterranean Cruise on Wind Surf

DougHouston
10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Wind Surf is a beautiful motorized five mast sailing yatch that can accomodate ~ 342 pasengers and a crew of ~ 200. The crew is what makes Wind Star ships special. The crew is very attentive and make you feel special. The crer will know your name and your favorate beverage in a day or two. The food is excellent in all three resturants. The Stella Bistro and Candles are small speciality ...

Excellent first experience of Windstar

Review for a World Cruise Cruise on Wind Surf

bulpittw
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Recommended by our travel agent and we were delighted. Service was outstanding throughout and our food excellent. The 3 restaurant choices gave us all the options we were looking for over the 17 night cruise. The itinerary gave us the best of popular ports and smaller ones that we visited for the first time. The marina was a little disappointing as distance we could swim was limited and no ...
