My daughter and I returned from a Norwegian fjords cruise last weekend (19 Aug, 2017), and while Norway is beautiful, and we loved the towns we visited, the same cannot be said for the ship. Embarkation went smoothly, the cabin was okay, nothing special, and the cabin steward was fine, BUT, the food selections weren't what I would have expected- I am dairy intolerant and allergic to shellfish, but ...
2nd time on Britannia this year made the mistake of booking two at the same time. First time I was not impressed but had to go on the second one. Went into the cabin and went to make a coffee. Inside of kettle was RED RUSTY. called reception and it was collected, returned 8 hours later unusable because of the smell and taste of plastic. Gave it to cabin steward who went into bath and said it just ...
I chose this cruise mainly because of the ports of call. I was very disappointed in p&0. It seems to be about trying to get as money out of the guests as possible. I have only been with Royal Caribbean before so can only compare with them.
Food in the main restaurant was better on Britannia however the buffet restaurant wasn't as good in my opinion. There was too much of the hard sell with ...
This was my very first cruise and it was AMAZING! Staff were absolutely perfect and dining was impeccable, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I recommend it to all. It was very family friendly and the entertainment was enjoyable, I went to every sail away and loved each one! Neil and the team were so fun and made sure you were involved. Our waiters in the oriental restaurant (Manish, Brian and Ajay) ...
I had been on the venturer before and I wanted to visit Guernsey. Very nice staff and food lots to do , very busy as in school holidays we were informed there was two adult only pools but did not find one without children I love children but someone I was travelling with is autistic and can become anxious around children but they like to swim however this did not spoil the holiday. Really good ...
Our friends had been trying to persuade us we would love cruising for many years, so this year we decided to give it a try. We chose the canary cruise as it fitted in well with school holidays. We have a 10 year old boy and also travelled with friends and their 10 year old.
The night before, we stayed at the Southampton Central travel lodge. This was clean and comfortable. Parking was limited, ...
We don't cruise every year but we were in need of a holiday and a cruise is usually a great treat.
We spent time in Southampton with family the day before but had to wait to board til 2.30pm. Boarding was very quick and efficient. Food was available at the Lido deck but we were a bit late and had to make do with a tiny salad until our dinner at 8.30pm. We really should have gone to self serve ...
First time in the Arcadia and it was absolutely first class. The entertainment in the Palladium was second to none and as good as any London West End Show. Evening dinner was very good although there could have been a better choice in the buffet. I can only imagine the negative reviewers were probably too fussy. This was the best cruise we have ever been on and just right for an adult cruise. ...
Love this ship, itinerary took us to a couple of new places. The ship was full but never felt crowded. Food was lovely... I put on 4lbs. I had to make a choice every night...and the strawberry sundae was delicious!
We had the best cabin steward ever, Shiva, he was so efficient and helpful.
Mum uses a wheelchair and all the staff went out of their way to help her. The doors to the Prom deck ...
This was our first cruise and we really wanted to visit the Norwegian fjords. The embarkation and disembarkation was really well organised. We came before our allocated time as we had to drop a hire car off before. We got on before our time with no fuss and bother. The ship is huge and very clean throughout. Lots of restaurants to choose from although we mainly used the Horizon in the day and then ...
