Southampton Cruise Reviews

We wanted to make a cruise around Great Britain, because it is close to our country and in Europe. We learned to know Princess Cruises as a company with a good variety of food on clean vessels. This cruise showed us, that this impression is nowadays not correct. The toilets were normally not cleaned, the dust an rubbish on the floors layed there for hours. The internet and also the medallion ...

This is only my opinion from being on this cruise compared to other cruise lines I have been on Positives - ship was easy to board very efficient no problems occurred . Staff as always there on hand so helpful and the long shifts they do they always have a smile and good morning/afternoon. Spotless ship can’t fault the cleanliness and the space we had in a balcony suite Negatives ( ...

It started badly. It took us just under 2 hours to get from the port gate to the ship and drop our car. Sky Princess was docked at QEll Terminal which is woefully inadequate for a ship that size. The sheer volume of people trying to get in was idiotic. The luggage drop offs were not easily accessible. The queueing in the terminal, once you had negotiated your way to the right door, ...

This review will be brief and too the point. This ship is old was not ready to provide the type of experience most seasoned Princess cruisers were used to. Yes there were obvious staff shortages and supply chain issues. These could be overlooked as the problem exists everywhere. However many of the staff were lacking in their training especially in the food service side. When you are served a ...

My wife and I were looking forward to this cruise as we had heard how excellent Cunard was and it was a great opportunity to see the Norwegian Fjords. The itinerary was great and the excursion in Olden(Fjords and Glaciers) were excellent. To be fair embarkation and disembarkation were well managed. However,many other things were not. We had a Britannia class balcony room. The room in the times ...

This was by far the cheapest cruise I have been on as everyting tips,drinks,internet was throun in. It therefore attracted a lot of first timers who treated it like a Booze Cruise. The Pros : the staff.the front desk ,the buffet, the front desk when I got covid (they rang me every day to make sure that I got every thing I needed) The GYM was good and we never had to wait for a machine ...

This cruise was going to Norway and Iceland for 14 nights. On arrival we were first given the wrong medallion then had to sit and wait to get on board. Once on board we went to our cabin Dolphin 443 all seemed nice and clean. but when we had a little bit of not quite so calm weather the cabin got very noisy and sounded like the ship was falling apart, I was awake most of the night on a few ...

We chose this cruise as we live close to Southampton, did not want the hassle of airports, and it went to ports/ cities we had not visited. We are both gluten and dairy free and had advised Princess well in advance. We had sailed on the Pacific Princess 4 years ago with no problems. Unfortunately Princess are on a cost cutting mission which includes the brand of gluten and dairy free products they ...

We are a family of 4 and we have undertaken many cruises before. We originally booked to sail on Iona in 2018 for 2020 when the ship was announced. We decided to see the Norwegian Fjords as a family it is something we had wanted to do. Covid meant that our original booking was cancelled and we moved it to 2022. The ship itself is beautiful. Our cruise was at full capacity, one of the first ...

This cruise was “OK”, we had a good time, but Seven Seas Navigator was definitely inferior to other ships we have been on. I think being constantly told that we were on “the world’s most luxurious cruise line” just highlighted all the things on the ship which were not “luxurious”. It was definitely not an “unrivalled experience” and I think that Seven Seas needs to start catering for a younger, ...
