Let's start out with the positive - the ship was beautiful. Our cabin steward took great care of us. Unfortunately the rest was an unorganized disaster from the the embarkation (3.5 hrs waiting) and disembarkation (2.5 hrs waiting). We didn't get a good meal until the 3rd night in the regular dining. If I had known, I would have upgraded to the specialty restaurants for all 2 nights! Embarkation ...
We chose this 17 day cruise because we wanted to go through the Panama Canal. We took a Holland America sponsored Zip Line tour in Costa Rica(41) of us. A torrential rain was predicted, but we were not made aware nor was the tour canceled.Dangerous rain including lightening dumped on us during the Zip Line. Of course, we were attached to metal lines with metal equipment. There was a flood of the ...
The cruise ship was okay as far as the amenities. The room was not very nice and there was a fridge in the room that was broken and moldy. The staff was not very friendly or helpful. I am not sure where they hire these people from but overall the customer service was very disappointing. I have been on several cruise ships and I have never dealt with such a lack of helpfulness or politeness from ...
Virgin Voyage Scarlett Lady. I chose this cruise because it was an adult only cruise. One would think on an adult only cruise there would be non stop music, non stop service, non stop partying and then was absolutely nothing remotely close to this. All 4 outside bars. That’s right 4 small outdoor bars were closed by 8pm. When they were open if you weren’t sitting with in 10 ft of the living room ...
Coming from Australia we were keen to see the Caribbean and Mexico for the first time the first week being eastern Caribbean and the second week being western Caribbean and Mexico. Unfortunately due to a hurricane we couldn't do the second week so we ended up doing the much cheaper second week again. I understand that is the luck of cruising however we ended up paying more for something. When I ...
Never, never again! Beautiful boat great staff. Thought we would try them. Worst mistake! The food was tasteless, mostly carbs. They nickel and dime you in every which way they can. You have to get the drink package, or pay for your drinks. Both my husband and i fell violently ill. Fever, chills, chest pain and naisea. Still sick after arriving back home. Waited in long lines in the heat to get ...
Well, I booked Virgin based on a recommendation of a friend, who I respect his taste and judgement. He said it was the best cruise and food he has had on 20+ cruises. Like I said this is not your typical cruise line. You are called a sailor, not passenger or guest. I find that corny, childish & odd. Its adult only which I love, no kids! Ok, so I got a good deal and booked the trip, a five ...
3 in a row on this particular boat in the last 6 months. I won't get into all of the specifics, but I am a platinum member a few weeks short of being diamond. I also cruise royal caribbean and norwegian.
Here are a few things that happened. A few........I could write a lot more.
1st one - room flooded. Carnival left me in a room where floor was completely wet for two days. The room smelled ...
Chose this cruise because had heard that their private island is nice, supposed to have 2 days there and they dock rather than tender making it easy to get on and off. Ian made sure we never saw it. Never got to a beach at all! Some crew members tried to help, but it felt more like a floating prison than a cruise vacation.
Instead of days on an idyllic island, we had a week on board a ship ...
We were on the MSC Seashore in September. This was our sixth cruise with MSC. The previous five cruises were great. Not this one in some ways. On the positive side the ship was beautiful and very clean. The dining room food was very good. All of the crew on the ship were very professional and hard working, with the exception on one we encountered. Our room steward was none existent . We never saw ...
