We chose this cruise based on a great casino offer. We had sailed on her in 2008 and 2009 when she was fresh and nearly new. Today the ship is in fairly decent shape. Worn areas show in the elevators, and some of the common areas. The crew in general were outstanding! Nice positive vibe from the people who make this party barge go!
Princess really had their act together on embarkation, ...
This cruise was most notable for the weather - it was cold, windy, and wet for most of the cruise. Really the only beautiful day was our Half Moon Cay day - so that was nice. But the seas were quite rough most of the time (it's great the ship has stabilizers) too. So overall, if you are looking for warmth and beautiful sunny days - just be aware you might not get them at this time of year. ...
The Celebrity Ascent is a stunning ship with beautiful design in most areas. It has a modern, upscale feel that's truly enjoyable. However, there were a few shortcomings that surprised us, especially considering this is a new Celebrity ship.
One frustration was the theater. We waited in line for a show in the top section of the Club, only to discover it had limited visibility. The layout seems ...
Read some other reviews and although the ship layout and size has created some issues, overall we had a good vacation. This was our fifth cruise with Carnival but the first one out of Charleston and aboard the Sunshine. We didn’t splurge on any in port excursions but we did partake in the faster to the fun, cheers program, the steak house, internet, and deep tissue massages. Even though it is an ...
Oceania Vista is a fabulous ship. We've sailed Oceania, Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Carnival. Oceania excels in luxurious accommodations, ambiance of ship, quality dining, outstanding service, and cooking classes.
Our Cruise Colonial America & Bermuda. One day in Bermuda was cancelled and we did not stop in Norfolk, Va due to sea conditions.
We had been on the vista a few months ...
Despite prices rising the last few years across all of RC’s ships, the cost cutting continues.
Once a day stateroom service is a joke. RC should be embarrassed by this. When I was at guest services for a different matter, they grasped at straws to come up with explanations, or as I called them, excuses, as to why this was the case. My favourite was, “well all inclusive resorts only offer once a ...
A family of 14 travelled to Fort Lauderdale for an incredible gift from my mom on this adventure. I haven't been cruising for about 10 years (raising my kids) and I really loved my return to open water!
Good things:
1. The ship was well maintained and flowed nicely. Our cabin and room attendant was 5star plus.
2. The windjammer was better than I remembered.
3. The ports of call ...
I love cruises. Being on over 30 so far but this was my first experience on Virgin. I loved the ship on how modern it was and clean. The crew also were very friendly.
The only down side are the following:
- Confusing layout. They need better signs to get you around the ship. Often times the hallway just dead ends. Just adding more signs would be a huge improvement.
Pluses are the rooms ...
This was a charter cruise so I will try to limit my review to those items to the Celebrity ship itself. We have been on this ship several times in a Consierge cabin with nice balcony. The room was spotless & our cabin steward, Komang, was great. As this was a intense music cruise not a lot of time was spent in the cabin but the time there was comfortable.
We felt the food in the Main Dining ...
Having sailed NCL several times before and reading reviews of the Gem, I looked forward to another enjoyable cruise. Sadly, we were disappointed.
The ship is very well maintained. The staff, excellent (except some non-helpful Shore Exc. staff). The majority of the public areas and venues are very nice. Our favorites where the Great Outdoors and the Spinnaker Lounge.
Food...let's just ...
