Just wanted to know if anybody else on this sailing got covid when they returned home? I got it a few days after leaving ship. Otherwise had a nice cruise. Would prefer no days "at sea" . Ship was older, but revamped a few years back. Still looked old with dark interiors. A lot of illnesses could circulate inside a closed air conditioned ship, not just covid. Went on a 7 day Princess cruise ...
This was our fourth HAL cruise, and we were very disappointed. Holland America has been wonderful in past years, and we have extolled it's virtues, but this Eurodam cruise seemed understaffed, and the service was lackadaisical at best. We booked a Signature Suite but found that it was just a larger verandah stateroom with absolutely no "suite" amenities.
Upon initial boarding, there was no ...
The Seashore is an all chrome and glass ship in the main areas. The cabin, midship 12th floor balcony, was less than desirable. Started the first day placing a plastic bag of toileties on a shelf in the bathroom and the heavy metal shelf popped off and whacked my leg. The screws were missing on the shelf. The carpet in the cabin was deplorable. Old, shabby, always felt damp. Closet door was ...
We were so excited to go on this cruise and don't get me wrong, we still had a great time but were disappointed in some aspects.
Pros: Clean, new ship. Everything was modern and kept very well. We had a balcony room and were so happy to have made this upgrade. Doremiland (kids) was great too, this is our first time going with our son so I have nothing to compare it to.
Cons: Food quality was ...
Not the princess I sailed on 6 years ago. Had a reserve suite and the only Benefit was the dining room where the food and staff were fantastic. As for the rest forget about it. No such thing as priority boarding. Same line for everyone. Forget the sanctuary. Went right to it and was told it sold out in minutes. Also had Premier package. Priority reservations for specialty restaurants is not a ...
Our family is relatively new to cruising, as this only being our fourth. Our first was on the Carnival Elation and the next two being on the Holland America Rotterdam. We knew going in this was going to be a very different experience as this was our first cruise on a "mega ship" and we knew that MSC operated a little bit different from other lines.
First, the positives.

We were looking for something beyond the traditional cruise experience with a group of adult friends. Virgin Voyages markets itself, like the Virgin brand has historically done in other markets, as doing cruising differently or reinventing the cruise. Indeed, they have done many things different from a traditional cruise. Some of those things you will like and others you might not. Of course, ...
We chose a short cruise to see if we enjoyed it. Overall, it was a fun voyage, but we had consistent issues with staff, most notably the person traiging dinner guests on deck 3 on all 3 nights of our cruise. This individual was apathetic at best and openly hostile and antagonistic at his worst, and marred what otherwise would have been a lovely anniversary dinner. Royal Caribbean did not respond ...
This trip aboard Liberty of the Seas was my fifth time cruising with Royal. I have always enjoyed cruises, but there were several improvement opportunities this time. First was the main dining room for our traditional 7:45 seating. We were at our table for over an hour the first night before we received our appetizers. Our dinner took over 2 hours to get all our courses. We thought it was because ...
The Disney Wish is beautiful. The artwork, decor and styling was typical Disney to set a theme. Took a tour of the ship to appreciate the details they included. If you have children who enjoy Disney characters and movies, they would love the number of character meet and greets and separate areas just for kids. As to adults, the ship has challenges. They have multiple bars tucked in various corners ...
