This is the first time we have been on a Cunard ship so we had high expectations. Taking into consideration the ship is on a world cruise the ship is visually in very poor condition externally and this continues to the outside areas once you board the ship. Rust everywhere, ripped and filthy seating In all areas. The inside public areas are in better condition and are well ...
There is something definitely wrong on this ship. I got a stomach virus after 3 days of sailing and was put in isolation. After taking my medicine, I barely are for the subsequent 3 days. And, I got the bug, again. I traced my problem to a common denominator: Caesar Salad. The Captain ordered that crews must serve passengers in the buffet area. We aren't even allowed to get water by ourselves. ...
There are going to be a lot of very negative reviews for this cruise, and there were many problems with it. There were four missed ports, an itinerary change after final deposits were made, and a lot of difficulties with ports that were visited.
Additionally, the passengers on this cruise were exceptionally savvy travelers, and exceptionally sophisticated and experienced frequent cruisers with ...
Horror Cruise! Norwengian is no longer Norwengian! Since COVID, NCL cruises have deteriorated in an inexplicable way. We are on board the Dawn crossing from Africa to Europe. An outbreak of gastroenteritis on board. Hundreds with diarrhea, including crew. The same ship, on the last cruise before this one, had already been quarantined on the Mauritius Coast with cholera suspected. It seems they ...
I recently embarked on the 7 night Cape Verde cruise with Variety Cruises. The trip was incredible from start to finish. The itinerary meant we were able to visit much of Cape Verde, including Sal, Santiago, Fogo, San Vicente, Santa Antao, Mindelo and Boa Vista!
Because we were able to visit so many islands, we saw so many different perspectives of this amazing country, including volcanos and ...
Dear Richard,
Thank you for your thoughtful review of your experience aboard the Harmony G!
We are thrilled to hear that you had an incredible journey exploring Cape Verde's beauty. It's...
This was my 15th Princess cruise and the best yet in terms of the ship itself. The ports of Azores, Madeira, Casablanca, Cadiz and Lisbon were fine but not trip highlights for me. Note: if one of your main concerns is the main dining room or the specialty restaurants, look elsewhere as I no longer go there on any cruise.
The ship is beautiful. The whole boarding process from being bused ...
We took this cruise to see Portugal again and get to Uk. We chose an inside cabin to save some money . I booked thru princess because it was our first time on them and I wanted a good cabin. I said I wanted stateroom ubove and below. Our room was over the piazza. We had music blasting in our room until 12:15 am. We called nightly and no one did a thing. We were told there were no rooms to move ...
Having sailed with a number of different cruise lines sailing with NCL was our worst experience by far.
Itinerary:
Between booking (March 2023) and sailing: the itinerary promised by NCL when booking last year looked so promising but the numerous changes before the sail date included severely reduced times at ports of call and a completely cancelled port. On querying this prior to ...
We booked this 12 day cruise to South Africa & Namibia when we found out our Israel/Egypt cruise with Celebrity wouldn't be going ahead due to the political situation there.
When we booked we were going to spend only 3 days at sea with long port days in most of the ports of call including 2 full days in Namibia. Due to several itinerary changes including the last change being only a week ...
Just returned from a cruise on Norwegian Dawn around South Africa. We had notification before leaving that we would not be visiting Ludderitz in Namibia, and the time in Durban would be reduced to 4 hours. We had 3 consecutive days at sea, and another two individual days at sea. At Richards Bay we were docked at a coal processing plant. Nowhere to go, and we were charged $10 to get a shuttle bus ...
