Cartagena (Colombia) Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise (our first) mainly because of value for money. We paid $1,500 per ticket and that included the round trip flight from Quito to Panama. Cartagena was forgettable but we did do the Mud Volcano excursion through Viator. Nothing quite like getting completely immersed in volcanic mud. On Curacao we did the Tugboat snorkeling excursion (Viator also) and that was very good. On ...

This is our third trip on Pullmantur and have we have been very impressed with the quality for the price. For the last two trips we have booked room of Junior Suite or higher to get the advantages not only of more space but the Waves Club amenities. Embarkation in Cartagena can be super chaotic with Pullmantur but with the advanced boarding with the Waves Class rooms this is avoided and you get ...

This is the worst embarkation a human being can go through to join Pullmantur's Monarch. Lots of misinformation by the staff members. Unnecessary lines taking nowhere...and a long time waiting in the terminal. No matter you travelled with children or elderly people.. all have to wait in very long lines...Service on board was very poor..food never changed. Shows were boring. duty free shops with ...

We choose the cruise because we went to Cartagena to get married. So my husband and I decided that would be a good idea take the cruse there. I'm going to do a favor to people who like read reviews: Please don't take that cruise. The food was awful, in all restaurants, breaksfast buffets the same every day, just few things to eat, the eggs were the worst I've ever had. People who go there are ...

Pros;s - nice cabins, decent food, good dining service, ample snacks in lounge areas, free wifi. Con's - no TV as promised. However the real con was the amount we paid compared to what we received. Major issues with hotel reservations on the night prior to the cruise. People were bused between three different hotels and some did not get rooms until after midnight. We were on their last cruise ...

We selected this small cruise line because of great reviews, but in this first effort to visit Columbia, Panama and Costa Rica they failed their passengers in so many ways it is difficult to find any positives. Digging deep, I would say their hotel management and staff were comparable to some of the better cruise lines. Also, their evening entertainment and dining were top notch for a ship this ...

We have just completed our first trip with this cruise line and I was very impressed with this company, cruise ship and it's crew. Yes, this cruise had some issues (Panama Canal), but more importantly, is how problems were handled. It was a pleasure and very exceptional to cruise with a company that really put their passengers first. Those in charge of this ship were generally concerned and ...

My reason for doing this trip was to see exotic out of the way places, other ships cannot get to. Because I was a late booker, I was given a bottom deck cabin, size for single person OK, but Oh! so tired and old looking, with cleanliness issues. Passengers nice & friendly. Food very nice with good service, I liked the open sittings. We missed two countries altogether, as the "ship that ...

This was our first cruise with Voyages and i really had no bench mark to use as a comparison other than several cross Atlantic trips with Cunard. The ship was a perfect size having a capacity of just over 500. This way we were treated like special guests rather than part of a mob. Lunch and dinner menus offered a great deal of variety with care taken for those with special dietary considerations. ...

I would avoid this company at all costs, I chose it because I wanted to see the panama canal and I had travelled quite a lot with their sister companies travelsphere and just you and always had a wonderful holiday. However this company just provided one disappointment after another from start to finish. I spent a good 30 minutes discussing my requirements with the tour operator to begin with ...
