Never having cruised previously with Princess, we booked this cruise for the itinerary and sailing date.
Embarkation in Southampton was hassle free, even for 3500 passengers, and first impressions of the ship were positive, as we experienced a well presented and polished interior.
The 6 day crossing to Boston was rough with bad weather and a huge swell for most of the time. It was here that ...
We loved the crew. Everyone was very helpful and very pleasant. The ship was average but it does need some work. Very limited outlets in the rooms. Our bathroom stunk from floor drains that are never cleaned. These should be cleaned and sanitized regularly. We had to keep the bathroom door closed so we could sleep at night and it wasn’t odor from human waste. The sill on our sliding door to the ...
32 day Back to Back Cruise on the Sky Princess from Sept 16th to Oct 17th 2023. We also did this Cruise last year on the Sky Princess and how things have now gone way downhill.
Penny Pinching Princess-
Less Staff/Waiters around means very long wait times to get served both in the bars and dining rooms
High percentage of Waiters are Training and therefore the quality of service is very ...
This was our fourth cruise on Liberty of the Seas, unfortunately the fourth was no where near as good as an experience as the previous 3. We arrive at our assigned check in time and had to wait on line over an hour to check in eventhough we were required to precheck in online. The overall process appeared less organined than in the past. Food quality was poor, most of the time hot food served ...
I was very interested in the itinerary, the price was reasonable and we liked Celebrity in the past.
The good things.....the crew was wonderful, our stateroom was nice, except the shower didn't drain properly (as someone else mentioned), the evening shows were good but too short, the lectures by the naturalist were excellent and the buffet was good.
The main dining room experience was a ...
i chose this cruise hoping to see some fall foliage and the ports were either new for me or interesting stops in New England. We were a group of four and took the airfare offer thru Norwegian. I didn't realize that Norwegian would not notify us of our scheduled flight until about 30 days before the sale date. That was stressful as we didn't know what we could schedule on our day in Quebec City, ...
This cruise was VERY hard to rate. The layout of the ship, the food, the service and the comedy and magic entertainment were all very good. The itinerary was good in Newport, Boston, St. John and Quebec -- otherwise there wasn't a lot more to see. Unfortunately there were numerous sour notes.
The ship was old but mostly well maintained. In our cabin, however, the mattress was nearly worn ...
Fifth cruise with Oceania. The ship is beautiful. The food was way below average. Most of the Pastries were stale.I ordered Lamb medium and got it close to raw, and tough. Osso Buco Alla Milanese worst I have ever had and was so looking forward to having it. The taramasu and Cream Brulae was awful!, no flavor and under cooked, both runny. I meet several people on the Vista and they all made ...
The weather played havoc with our cruise and while I understand that no-one can control that, I'm not sure that the best decisions were always made. We missed a day in Bordeaux and Tangier - both highlights of the cruise. We had 4 sea days instead of one, although we were compensated with a future cruise credit.
Embarkation during a storm was a disaster. We had to drop untagged luggage at one ...
8 day out of Norfolk Va. parked car with asphalt lots ( park air) in Chesapeake. Brad was very easy to engage for info. Vans started running early and took traffic headache away. Terminal easy and friendly folks to get onboard , maybe 25 min with a 1135 boarding time. Food. Nothing special. Outback better than steakhouse the one night we went. Guys burgers good and busy. Guys bbq- expected much ...
