Southampton Cruise Reviews

Booked last minute via Plant Cruises , very helpful gentleman called Derek helped us decide room type / package level.(no Pressure) Hadn't experienced MSC cruises before so we were a little apprehensive after seeing some of the negative reviews, however many good reviews too. From parking in the official MSC car park, embarkation and arriving in the Market Place buffet (15 minutes) super ...

We left Southampton on one of the hottest days of the year with an 8 year old and an autistic 4 year old! We specifically booked royal Caribbean due to the autism status and it did not disappoint. Our worry upon arrival will be the waiting to board as our youngest cannot handle hustle and bustle and noises etc so therefore he has a meltdown. Advised royal Caribbean of our worries and got ...

Living in California, most people cruise to destinations such as Alaska, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Prior to this cruise, I had never considered the British Isles as a destination. I wish I found this sooner! Traveling to places I've always wanted to see since I was a child - Dublin, the Blarney stone, the Giants Causeway, and more was a fantastic experience. The ports on my cruise were (in ...

Celebrity is our favorite cruise line and itinerary of UK, Ireland. Scotland and Iceland sealed the deal. We planned this cruise since 2019. Finally got to cruise. Ship is great, service is best we have had, food was excellent. Celebrity made every attempt to protect passengers. However, after day four, we were warned about covid aboard. Later masks were recommended in all public spaces. We are ...

I've always been a fan of nature, so when I noticed that the brand new Virtuosa was sailing there I decided to (after reading bad reviews) bite the bullet and book up, I figured I really want to see Norway anyway, and the price of this cruise was great. I can't tell you how surprised I was when I got on board, the process was quick and smooth, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and not just ...

The cruise itinerary was excellent, the ship was stunning and all new, the price was right! Very good value for money. I booked a few months before and it was my first solo cruise. There were about 70 solos onboard and there was a hosted meeting on the first day with the cruise staff, daily then in the TV lounge. The ship is enormous but everywhere is kept pristine and spotlessly clean. It ...

We just retuned from a 7 day cruise to the Norwegian Fjords. We very much enjoyed our time on the beautiful new ship. The ship is enormous. It holds 5,000 people with about 3,000 onboard this time. Mostly it did not feel crowded. The ship is very stylish particularly between the 5 and 7th floor with crystal staircases and changing ceiling display along the main promenade. We had a drinks ...

Wanted to try out cruising for the first time so choose cruise from Southampton to Norwegian Fjords. Chose Princess Cruises as modern ship with medallion technology and going at the right time of year. Princess still have issues with the phone app - doesn’t always work and virtually impossible to upload any documents to it from an iPhone. The physical medallion works really well, access to ...

We have been sailing with Princess for many, Many years. This was our 7th Princess Cruise. We have always wanted to go to the British Isles, and what better way to sail, than with Princess. We already have our next cruise booked with Princess, with a similar room this time to Alaska, as a cruise tour. This will be our second cruise to Alaska. Because we had a suite onboard we had club class ...

We were on the MSC Vistuosa in June 2021 and stayed in a Grand Suite, the suite was enormous. We had a lounge with a glass topped table and 6 high backed dining chairs, a walk in dressing room, separate bedroom with great cupboards and an enormous 20+ metre long balcony, with a private whirlpool. For our wedding anniversary in June 2022, we had booked to cruise on the Magnifica, in a similar ...
