This was our first cruise with Princess Cruises to celebrate our 50th anniversary. We have sailed between 20-25 cruises on various ships and companies, including Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Holland America, NCL and Costa. I have always heard how nice Princess is and the itinerary on this cruise made for lots of stops at places that we always wanted to see including France but more on that later. ...
We were on the Emerald Princess British Isles cruise in late July. Although we did have fun, we were disappointed overall by the items many have noted including service in general, uneven food quality, and medallion app functionality. We were also disappointed by many other things including:
* the lack of any recognition of our 3 special events (we had 2 birthdays and 1 anniversary in our ...
Saga cruise to Norway and Svalbard, July 2022:
Covid testing and security was efficient at Southampton.
SOA is a beautiful ship, decent sized cabins and bathrooms, with everything you could possibly need and if there is something you need just ask for it. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful, but the service in the Main Dining Room can be slow at times. You are asked on entry to MDR if ...
This was our first ever cruise so we was not really sure what to expect but overall very pleased.
Embarkation - Seamless and great, from joining the very long line of people outside, we were in our cabin with the luggage with 45 mins. Perfect.
Cabin - rather good to be honest, we stayed on deck 9 and the balcony was super. Inside everything was good, clean and the bed was comfy. My only ...
My wife and I chose this cruise purely because of timing. My wife works a lot in the USA and this week fitted in with her trip home in between various other family events. We would not have actually chosen this itinerary, but that wasn't really a big point of the cruise, we just wanted to get away and (mainly for her...) relax. We have also cruised with RCCI a number of times and have always ...
I have just returned from a 14 night cruise around the Mediterranean on Queen Mary 2. Whilst we have travelled many times on Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria this was my first time on QM2.
One cannot help but be impressed by the sheer size, spaciousness and quality of the interior of the ship, evoking the grandeur of past ocean-going liners. The Royal Court theatre is quite impressive ...
Just got off from Anthem yesterday and already miss it!
Our last cruise was 3 years ago at Independence with extended family and we only booked this cruise 2 months ago wondering if it will be the same but it turned out to be absolute success. This time it was for family of 4 including myself husband and 7,11 years old children.
At terminal we were told it is about four thousand something ...
Overall was good/v good with a few niggles, but based on other reviews here we might have got lucky.
Also largely agree with many of the things other reviews on here say, although none of other reviewers issues affected or bothered us too much.
Ship was v nice and our accommodation (deck4, sea view, was fine) (last minute booking)
Staff we interacted with were good / v good
Food was ...
Covid tests
Pointless as we took covid home along with lots of people.
Had to have a Covid test at our expense this year (last year Royal paid) no more than two days before. We were booked at Lloyds pharmacy which is £30 each but when I rang up they didn't have any lateral flow test kits in and wouldn't know if they would have them for our appointment. So we used MedicSpot this time as ...
The cruise was awesome and one of the highlights of the day was the Captain's announcement. They were hilarious, not sure if he was trying to be, but they were. We started in South Hampton, Scotland 3 stops, Norway 2 stops and then Iceland 3 stops. Missed a port in Scotland due to high winds and not favorable tendering conditions. Weather was pretty normal for this time of year, rain and ...
