Hi there. It’s January, and I’m back home in Michigan. We are all snowed in today so I’m finally going back to submit my review for my holiday cruise. Most of which I typed while I was on the ship, and some I filled in just now. (So please excuse my mixed tenses!) Here it is:

It’s 4:24 a.m. and I'm on the ship, on Christmas Eve morning, actually. I’ve been thinking about it ...
MSC [ Miserably Shocking Cruise]
There are little positives on the Divina. The room attendant and ships quality are the only positives.
My wife and I have been on 4 other Cruise Lines and MSC, by far, deserves to be at the bottom of the sea.
We decided to take a last-minute, very inexpensive Bahamian 4 day trip last week. None of us could imagine a worse cruise, except for our one ...
The cruise to the Western Caribbean was great. We were on board for Christmas and New Years. We paid in full for this cruise in Early September but did not get a room assignment until a week before we embarked. We signed up for Club Orange with the promise of a room upgrade (instead of a ocean view room we got an obstructed view room), I would not recommend spending the extra money ...
Where do I begin? Our family decided to do a Christmas and New Year cruise expecting a terrific experience. We all agreed on doing a back-to-back cruise and this one fit the bill for the dates we had available. Boy were we wrong. We left Miami and encountered rough seas. Not the ships fault but was stressful. Many people were quite sick. We arrived at Puerto Rico late and stood in the stairwells ...
This cruise started off rocky as I had called MSC 3 weeks before departure to ask a question about the drink packages, to which the woman I was speaking with told me that each of our cabins had a $600 onboard credit and legit told me not to buy a drink package. When we got onboard we were told this was not accurate and we actually had a $100 credit, so we had to buy the drink package onboard for ...
I have traveled with Norwegian cruise line 4 times before taking MSC Dvina on 12/20/2019 because of one of the interesting ports of Eastern Caribbean is on MSC Divina. I'd like to compare the different experience here, hope can give you some ideas when you choose the cruise company for travel.
1.Staffs on MSC Divina seemed unhappy, no smile, no greeting on my first day boarding, while Norwegian ...
I waffled a bit between a 'poor' and an 'average' review, but ultimately chose 'poor' because there were just too many things that we found annoying for our family of four.
First, the pluses.
The cabins are roomy and in pretty good shape. Food in the buffet was reasonably good (with the exception of scrambled eggs at breakfast, which could always be counted on to be cold). Main dining room ...
Overall, had an enjoyable experience on the NCL Bliss on an 8 day voyage over Christmas 2019. The Bliss is modern and clean, with plenty of activities and entertainment, and dining/drinking options and quality are good enough. However, there are also some hiccups in the design, cabin noise, children's programs and crowded nature of activities. For the cost, was a great value (especially over ...
Review of the Divina 12/20/19 to 12/27/19
Ship:
• Beautiful; lots of character and elegance (loved the crystal staircases)
• Ship is immaculate and no matter what time of day, someone was cleaning somewhere
• Ship was LARGE ... 4,345 passengers and 1,388 crew members; decided we like the smaller (under 3000) ships; less crowds
• Lots of awareness for hand sanitizing and if the ...
We chose this cruise because it worked with everyone’s schedule and budget. It was overpriced for what they gave us in terms for food service, customer service, the choice and timing of the islands we visited and, just about anything else that we would expect and have received on a cruise.
Things got weird right away. There were no tissues in the cabin. The room steward said tissues are not ...
