Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

My husband and I have been on in excess of 20 cruises over the years and often used P & O. for various reasons we drifted away from them as we did not like the bigger boats when they were first introduced and we found ourselves becoming big fans of several other cruise lines. Recently a friend asked us to join them on Iona for a Norwegian fjord cruise during which they had 2 special celebrations, ...

We chose this cruise because I have always wanted to see the Midnight Sun and that certainly didn't disappoint. It was beautiful sitting on our balcony at 2am watching the fjords drift by. Most of the food was lovely although the choice of fruit, veg and salad was very limited. I was also disappointed not to have a choice of decaf coffee /hot chocolate at breakfast nor was skimmed milk ...

We chose this cruise because my grandchildren wanted to see London and go on a cruise to Norway, which this cruise allowed us to do. Since we are from the US, we booked the cruise through vacations to go(vtg). The vtg representative said it was a British company, but we did not understand that almost all of the people on board would be from the British Isles. All of the information sent out prior ...

Mega fast embarkation! We were told that the sail away time would have to be delayed until 2.00am due to adverse weather conditions in Southampton, which seemed odd as it was a great early summer day with a gentle breeze, in the morning the captain announced that due to the late sail start the port stop in Stavanger had to be scrapped. Olden is a beautiful place to see, the stop at Alesund ...

Was on G218 to Norway and the Fjords as first time cruisers. Cabin - 12718 (aft) - great cabin, good size and balcony more than worth it. Shower powerful enough. Eating - most breakfasts spent in Horizon for the buffet which was enough. Could always get a seat (guess the ship was not at full capacity). Staff very quick to clear away after you. Drinking - we didn't have a package as to ...

I have actually sailed on the Sky Princess twice this year, and waited until after the second cruise to write a review. I wasn't sure if I was just getting a poor experience due to my first time being in the Easter holiday, or if it was just this particular ship! I've sailed with Princess several times over the years, and have always found them to be excellent in terms of service, food, ...

My friend wanted to cruise to Norway, having travelled on P&O for years we chose Iona. As this is the largest of P&O's ships I expected a spacey cabin but when I opened my cabin door I was shocked and really disappointed, it was so small. The two singles were by the window with just about enough room to squeeze out of bed by the window and there was no way to get out the other side. The ...

My wife and I have hither- to been loyal (Platinum level) Princess Cruisers and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience from both the UK and The USA. This ship is both comfortable and beautiful - the biggest we have sailed on in over 15 years cruising. Embarkation was relatively smooth at 12.30pm but we missed lunch in the Club Class Dining Room as nobody told us it was open on boarding and we ...

We chose this cruise because of the unusual places on the itinerary. Unfortunately we were disappointed the moment we got on board as the ship was very hot. Reception just kept saying to passengers that as soon as the ship sails it would get cool! This is nonsense because we've been on board other ships for hours before sailing off and it's been lovely and cool as the air-conditioning was ...

The “have it all” package is not high value and you should not pay more than $350 over the bare bones fare for it for sailings if a week or more, otherwise it won’t give you much bang for your buck: The shore excursions are massively over-priced (easily twice as expensive as available from trustworthy online purveyors); you can do way better independently. The internet is not good enough to ...
