Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise Reviews

I am sorry to say that in spite of fabulous food, a wonderful cabin and food crew, and amazing staterooms, I would never go on an Oceania Cruise again. The management staff (with the exception of the concierge) as non-existent. The support staff at the desks were not only rude and uncaring, they would not go one step further than absolutely necessary to correct a horrible situation. Things ...

We were excited about this cruise, going round southern island. The embarkation was slow. We had been on Sky Princess in April which was fabulous so we were comparing both ships, and no comparison. My first food experience on board was lunch, a Caesar salad, at a small restaurant on 8th floor, which consisted of a bowel of lettuce leaves with no dressing and 2 small pieces of chicken. The ...

This was our first cruise post Covid, so we can only compare this to 12+ pre-covid cruises with lines such as P+O, Celebrity, RCL, Princess and Cunard. Please bear this in mind when reading. Embarkation Slowest ever. Took 2 hours stood in queues (security then Ship enrolment). Could have opened additional security gates and used tickets for embarkation like previous cruises. We were ...

Not the best cruise ,done Royal Carribean few times ,and Tui this is by far the worst one Food is awful and not enough space to move about in the buffet with their trolleys and electric wheelchairs No where is the food as good as Royal Carribean for choice or quality of food ,thought Tui food on offer in buffets was basic , this is much worse Don't cater that well if you ...

Thei was out first cruise, we had a beautiful cabin with balcony. The staff were great and very attentive. All dining facilities were nice but I noticed a lack of variety of vegetables and fruit with main meals in the main dining rooms. The destinations were great and the expeditions we went on were fantastic. The only problem was a lot of the expeditions and speciality restaurants were booked ...

We were originally doing this cruise with two other couples a few years ago, but the dreaded covid interfered with our original plans. Overall, Celebrity seem to be one of a minority of cruise lines who have recovered better than most after the pandemic. There’s no shortage of staff, who are as good as ever. The food is up to the usual Celebrity standard. In fact in certain areas such as soups ...

We booked this holiday last year before the ship was completed, we were looking forward to it but were very quickly disappointed. There is a capacity for around 5200 passengers. • Embarkation - If you arrive at the correct time your boarding should be quick and easy but, take heed, if you decide to arrive early the this will be your first of many long queues!! • Space - Our cruise was ...

I got a good price on this cruise, had time to fill and it looked like a good list of destinations. The only disappointments was a cancelled tender port due to bad weather (Stornoway, Isle of Lewis), and tendering for Dublin which has a perfectly fine cruise terminal, which just added stress and shortened the time available to visit Dublin. I took this cruise 10 days after my other cruise on ...

We chose this cruise strictly for the itinerary, not the ship. The ports were all amazing! We unfortunately missed the port of Stornoway due to weather which was very disappointing as I was looking forward to seeing the Outer Hebrides. The tender into Edinburgh was a bit difficult on the way back to the ship as there were long lines and the tender boats were just the tiny life boats from the ...

Picked this ten day cruise around UK as wanted to visit Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast and this cruise was a practical way of doing that. Only one day was a sea day meaning you’re off the ship almost everyday sightseeing… great way to maximise your time in the UK and Ireland. Unfortunately Stornaway didn’t happen because sea too rough for tendering and another excursion I was booked on got cancelled ...
