Southampton Cruise Reviews

yes we find cunard generally of good standard but there were poor issues on this 20 day trip. Main dining room food was often very disappointing and some of the servers were very indifferent ofcourse there was some excellent servers too. The cabin was of poor design tiniest bathrooms ever plus for a 20 day cruise limited shelving and when you opened the wardrobe doors you blocked out the ...

This was actually my third trip on the MSC Virtuosa. The first was a round UK one during covid and was a strange, too quiet experience with skeleton staff. Next was a short cruise with my 17 year old grand daughter last year- much more fun, but the service at bars etc was really poor and slow. but this cruise offer of a 15 night all inclusive with a balcony, visiting France, Spain and Morocco, for ...

I booked this cruise almost 12 months in advance for myself and wife also a cabin for my daughter and her partner. I had a senior moment when booking and used my daughters ex partners surname on the booking. The christian name was correct and also the DOB. I called to change the surname when I realised some two weeks later. We are still talking some 11 months from sail date and got charged £50 ...

We chose MSC as had friends sail on their ships before. We booked at a great price, as we were travelling as a family of 4, so tried to keep our costs down. The ship is stunning and customer service was extremely impressive, EXCEPT for the bars. Each bar seemed massively understaffed (one even ran out of glasses), and ignored you unless you were sitting right in front of them. We didn’t purchase a ...

Fresh off a 10-day British Isles on the Regal Princess from 9/29-10/9. Overall, had a wonderful trip with 4 people in our party. Emerald deck Deluxe Balcony Obstructed view. No issues with the view, only the top of the lifeboats which were flat and you could see perfectly above them. The balcony actually felt heated because of being on deck 8. Embarkation was literally like 15 minutes but we ...

Our previous cruise with NCL in Mar 23 was very disappointing and we vowed not to cruise with them again, however, we came across this reasonably priced and local cruise for us around the British Isles, Holland, Belgium and France. We expected the worse, but were pleasantly surprised. The ship is a bit tired in places and the décor old fashioned but we liked it. It was clean and spotless ...

We have always enjoyed Princess and had wanted to see Canada. As usual all staff were wonderful, sunset balcony cabin was excellent. The tours were good value for money and the guides really knew their subjects. Some tours however could have used a bit more time at venues and seemed rushed. Our main complaint is that there is nowhere on the ship to get away from loud music entertainment in the ...

Hadn’t sailed with P and O for a few years and were slightly concerned with negative reviews. We were pleasantly surprised at how lovely the Ventura was. Looked well maintained and clean. Easy to get around ship in my wheelchair and waiters were very helpful in MDRs, moving chairs to accomodate me. We booked a standard balcony cabin as I don’t need a fully accessible cabin. There was plenty of ...

First of all, I'll admit that my review will be a bit incomplete as my wife and I got covid on the ship and had to get isolated for half of the cruise. With that said, I think five nights is plenty enough time to judge the ship. I've been on the Magic for four cruises, and it's been a bit of my "home ship", in a way, so I was eager to see what the Dream had to offer. Unfortunately, I think ...

Having cruised before on a smaller P&O ship we decided to try the Arvia. Embarkation was very well organized – out of hotel and on board in 40 minutes. Lots of staff on hand to guide you to muster station, etc and assist with the my holiday app. Rooms ready by about 3pm and last of luggage arrived early evening. Room was a mid-ship balcony deck 9. Quiet room and overlooking one of the ...
