Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

This was our second cruise. The first was also with Norwegian and went well. Ship arrived on time, docked in places suitable for an easy visit in port. We foolishly thought that was how all cruises might work. Not on the Getaway, which was a mess from the start. Our room was opposite a crew exit, which was left open so that any drunk passenger could use at 2am or 3am. I eventually had to sleep on ...

This is my "TRUE" account of what an Ambience cruise is like. Firstly It never reached the 2 ports in Greenland nor Reykjavik in Iceland. A port in Canada was also missed. Instead we visited Cobh in Ireland and Honfluer in France. The cabins are clean, have good storage and the public rooms are in good condition. There are though some musty smells and urine smells in the corridors. The ...

I have been cruising for 35 years and have been on many cruise lines and have cruised a lot more in recent years. Many people are huge fans of Ambassador cruises and will no doubt have had a lovely time. On a positive note, the ship is well maintained, the people who work on the ship are a delight and the ship is very, very clean in comparison to many other cruise lines. The food is in ...

If you like to eat great food in a safe and secure ship, this is not the cruise for you! We booked a suite on this cruise looking forward to getting dressed up for a lovely dinner each night. However the food was very very poor quality, the menus were awful, meat and fresh vegetables were in short supply. It all sort of reminded me of school lunches in the late 50’s early 60’s but actually not ...

Where do I start? My wife and I are 70 and active. We have also cruised on Celebrity and Oceania several times. This was our first Viking cruise. After two weeks I just wanted off the Viking Mars. For the same money the suites in other cruise lines are larger and better appointed. The decor in the Viking suite made you want to get out the room. The food was often cold and bland. The ...

Loved the destinations but the ship and amenities were terrible. The only great things onboard were the dancers and singer shows. What’s the good thing about using food clips to pickup your food when most people are coughing in their hands? There has to be a better way of serving. The wines were the cheapest I ever had. The package they sell is worthless. NCL has skimped on all their services even ...

I chose this cruise because of the itinerary however I was very disappointed with the ship and its crew. The solo cabin was not clean. Guest Services did not listen and only changed the time of the cleaning Fortunately I came across a Supervisor of housekeeping and she cleaned the cabin herself. The message is to identify all supervisors and complain early and often. The food frequently was ...

Question: Would I ever cruise with Norwegian Cruise Lines again? I gave my son a cruise to Iceland, Norway, Belgium and Amsterdam as a graduation gift. I booked with NCL because I thought that some of the fellow passengers would be younger (30 to 45). I was wrong. The deal that was offered to us included free drinks, including liquor priced at under $13. I really do not drink that much, ...

An anniversary treat, except it wasn't. Long long queue to get onboard. Long ,long queue to get a cup of tea and something to eat in the buffet restaurant. Then no table to sit at. Go to a bar -when it eventually opened- and waited 15 mins to get a drink. This ship has room for over 6000 guests and staff for 3000. West end shows -one night a singer -then another night a comedian. The balcony ...

Cruised on Oceania a few yeas ago and decided to book with them again. This was a mistake. We had a penthouse suite, it was okey. The mattress was well past its prime. It's a beautiful ship and the service was first rate. The line advertises the best cuisine at sea. I was not impressed. There are four speciality restaurants: the only one that was outstanding was the Italian restaurant. The ...
