Cleaning of rooms only once a day.
You can choose either in the morning or in the evening.
Very poor desserts, both in the buffet and in the restaurant on the 3rd floor.
We tried breakfast at the restaurant on the 4th floor. We won't do it anymore.
There was very small selection of food.
Price of drinks includes service charge.
The quality of the food, not like in the past.
...
Overall we enjoyed this line but likely not enough to be repeat guests. Food was not 6 star quality, not enough variety. At the buffets, often it was overcooked. Wine was very good though.
Entertainment ok. Not great. Didn't like the fact that in all but two of the dining venues you needed a reservation. This allows for no spontaneous food decisions. Also would prefer that the restaurants ...
For context myself and my wife had cruised 7 times we are RCI lovers!
We have cruised RCI, NCL and MSC. We are in our 30’s and my Son, Two
I wanted to share my review as i hope to give something back, i red a lot of posts before sailing so hope this is helpful.
Embarkation Day.
We had a 14:30 slot. I arrived at 13:00, this was ahead of time as the traffic was much quicker than i had ...
We just wrapped up a cruise to the Norwegian Fjords on MSC Virtuosa. It departed from Southampton. It was our first time on MSC and our first time on a large ship; capacity was around 6,000 guests. The ship was built in 2020 and first sailed in 2021.
Virtuosa was full of things to do and the main promenade was pretty. The pool and solarium were always crowded, since I estimate half the guests ...
We booked this cruise to sample the “Cunard” experience. My wife and I have cruised with various other Companies over this last 11/12 years so I wouldn’t consider myself a novice.
We boarded at Southampton having flown into Heathrow earlier in the morning. On arrival at the cruise terminal our taxi driver commented immediately that “ the old girl” meaning the QM2 was looking a bit tired. My ...
Our Cruise was disappointing at best. Let me first say that certain staff were excellent, our cabin staff, Tony, the bartender in Martinis, Barbara in Barista's, all great. . Others seemed undertrained. A server for breakfast service should know what a mimosa is. Tables should be cleared regularly, not when diners are standing around searching for a table. We usually just picked a dirty ...
Chose this cruise as wanting to do Iceland and everyday is a different port.
However, once money paid, a sea day was miraculously introduced, with no explanation why one port was no longer part of the trip. one and a half day in Runavik with not much to do, so not sure why and the next port was cancelled due to bad weather (had we not stay in Runavik for 1.5 days we would have avoided the bad ...
We wanted to go to Iceland and Norwegian fiords back before Covid and booked 2 cruises on different ships because they were among the only lines going to that area. One month before departure, Covid stuck and the world stood still for travel. 4 and a half years later and several ship changes, port changes and itineraries, we finally sailed on Preziosa for back to back cruises to Iceland and ...
Have cruised with Seabourn before the pandemic and loved the whole experience. Could not wait to go another Seabourn cruise. Unfortunately things seem to have changed big time. Service standards in the main dinning room were bad, as was TKs. Room staff great along with all the staff at the Colonnade. Food serving staff seemed harassed and unmotivated and not very attentive. Sometimes you had ...
Our cruise started off in Reykjavik, Iceland. Much of the info regarding this trip on the internet was wrong. Many writers said that to get from the airport to the center of Reykjavik was difficult. That was wrong. There are buses exclusively for transportation from the airport to the city center at approximately $30 pp. Others said that from the central bus stop to your hotel was an easy walk. ...
