Canary Islands Cruise Reviews

Did a stay and cruise. Tenerife and the Canary islands. Once again same as 2020 food in hotel far better than cruise, this never used to happen. Waiter and bar service, can't criticise the staff they work very hard. The staff numbers are well down on the day when they were owned and run by Thomson or Island Cruises. The shows, again the singers and dancers were very very good, it's the content its ...

We chose this cruise for a little autumn sun in the Canary Islands and having been on Silhouette before in the Caribbean saw it as the perfect fit--or so we thought. The ship was full--perhaps too full and I would say the average age of cruiser was easily 70 plus. The positives; Room attendant was very very good as always and a credit to themselves. Cabana was nice. Elton John show ...

TLDR: Beautiful modern ship. Expensive. Below average food quality. Restaurant service is bordering on rude. Constant cash-grab. No adult-only pools/hot-tubs. 'The Retreat' is a rip-off. The 'My Holiday' app is hopeless but necessary to book everything. The Iona is a beautiful. modern cruise ship. The staterooms are bright and airy - perhaps a little smaller than other P&O ship according to ...

Our first P&O cruise since the nastiness passed and our first on Iona, all our previous with P&O, some dozen or so, have been on their older, and smaller ships. The itinerary to the Canaries, Madeira, and Spain, was selected really just to get us back on a ship, and hopefully some October sun, which we gladly received. The ship is great…beautifully designed, finished, and indeed beautiful to ...

We went on a 12 night cruise with my wife , daughter and 12 year old son. It was our 3rd cruise and previously went on the navigator 4 years ago. Like every body else you look at the reviews before you go on holiday and you get good and bad reviews depending on personal opinion . To start with this was the best cruise we have been on and do not understand how anyone can fault anything ...

We returned from this 14 night Canaries cruise on 1st October. It was truly awful. We travelled to Southampton by coach with Intercruises. What a shambles. Coaches were pulling into Trowell services with no indication where they were going. We asked one coach driver if he knew when the coach for Ventura was expected to which he rudely replied that he wasn’t on duty. Eventually two arrived late, ...

Last minute booking for an inside room to Canaries, Madeira and Vigo from Southampton. Premium package taken. In general pleased with the 10 day trip. Food was good. The MDR food was good, we took several evening meals and a couple of lunches. Service was generally good but the wine did take an age to arrive eg. ordered before a starter arriving with main 30 mins later. Formal night was ...

Boarded at Southampton, prebooked ABP parking at half price with MSC discount code, 100 yards walk from car park to cruise terminal. Early priority boarding, minimal queues for luggage drop-off and security. Passports, vaccination status and Covid tests were checked, then cruise card was issued, on-board within 15 minutes. On board staff consistently wore masks throughout. Guests were ...

The way we were treated by Saga Management means we will never travel with Saga again. Tested at Southampton both LFT and PCR and embarked on Spirit of Adventure. First impressions are very good. The ship was beautiful, the cabin was spacious and well appointed. Public areas are immaculate and staff well trained and attentive. However, once the ship had set sail, we were informed by the ...

Hoping this was going to be the “Trip of a Lifetime” we were bitterly disappointed right from the start, a three quarter of an hour wait in a queue to be covid tested at the docks was a little frustrating to say the least. The staff at the port refused to carry my wife’s Dress Carrier stating that they might “damage it’ Once we were in the cabin which was very acceptable we decided to explore the ...
