This was our sixth cruise and after reading the celebrity board and reading all of the cheerleaders' reviews we were very excited to try celebrity and especially the summit. People raved about the food, service, and ship. They said it was the best of the fleet. Well, if that is their best they are in serious trouble.
The staff was very friendly, but they must be stretched very thin. It was ...
This was my 2nd NCL cruise. I was spoiled since my first cruise was summer 2021 when passenger capacity was 50% & cleanliness was a high priority.
I just returned from an NCL New England cruise out of NYC & have tested positive for Covid, in spite of wearing a mask virtually the entire time I was indoors & constantly washing my hands & using hand sanitizer.
The cleanliness in public areas ...
I chose this cruise as a way to spend time with my sister, who typically takes less active vacations than my husband and I. Full disclosure, we are used to smaller ships that manage their own shore excursions, have clear pricing, do not nickel and dime passengers for drinks, or tack on a "gratuity" at the end of the trip in the amount of $400 for unspecified goods or services. The average age of ...
Family Get-together
Party of 5 with 3 cabins. We were all to have 2 for 1 fares, with a Specialty Restaurant, 150 minutes WIFI/Internet, and $50 shore excursion credit. Unlike the other 2 cabins, we only received the 2 for 1 fare. Spoke with Guest Services and they had to get with HQ. Never got back to me. Went to Guest Services again and they stated HQ said they wouldn't do anything because it ...
First, the good things about our recent cruise on the MSC Meraviglia.
The ship is beautiful and clean. The room was very nice. It had everything we needed. The only complaint was the strong odor coming from the shower. It was a very strong and a pungent chemical-type odor. If you kept the shower door closed you could not smell it.
Our waiter and assistant waiter were great as well as our ...
The Meraviglia is a huge ship and the Yacht Club is featured as a "ship within a ship". While there were many excellent experiences from sailing in this class, there were other elements that definitely need work.
I was traveling with family and we had 4 cabins in the Yacht Club. I am an experienced traveler, mainly aboard Silversea, Seabourn and Viking and booked this cruise because my family ...
The Norwegian Joy is a pretty nice ship with potential to be provide quality experiences. The staff on ship is quite upbeat and pleasant. Restaurants and facilities are closed more than open, there is no quality information in rooms regarding amenities or hours of operation, and there are incredibly long lines for everything. When booking you can pay $200 extra for high speed internet, multiple ...
The BOGO airfare worked well for us. Check in was a breeze. Our ocean view room was fine & kept clean. We enjoyed the entertainment. All the servers, bar tenders & personnel went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. Two of our ports were cancelled in Halifax & St John due to weather. We had an extra sea day & stop in Portland MA. Also we couldn't tender in Martha's Vineyard. ...
Chose this cruise because we wanted to see Fall Colors in Canada/New England and had had favorable experiences on Princess in the past.
However, this is an OLD ship (2004 refurbished 2019) and shows its age as well as lack of modern amenities. Although we didn't pay the most for our oceanview cabin we did not expect it to have bunk beds which protruded from the wall on either side of the queen ...
We chose this cruise due to itinery for a reasonable deal. We stayed 3 nights in Boston at the marriott on arrival which was good. On ship the buffet was poor quality and lacked choice so we ate in the various dining rooms which was excellent and staff lovely. The shows were OK but not great. Entertainment in the individual bars were better. Our only complaint was one out of our 3 trips to Peggy's ...
