Cruising from Miami on the MSC Seaside was going to be something new for us, we have only done RCC before now. The ship is beautiful inside and out, lots of sparkle and very glitzy. Although getting around took some time to master, public spaces where plentiful and well furnished. The shows where as good as any we have seen on any cruise ship probably better. That's the good stuff. The cabin was a ...
This was the 12th cruise I have been on with the 5th cruise line I have cruised with. This was the WORST cruise I have EVER been on and the first and LAST time I will ever cruise with MSC. I spent the first 4 days in line at the Guest Relations desk for Internet (did not have Internet access until the afternoon of the third day) and billing issues...long wait in line each time. There was false ...
This cruise line was chosen by a family member to have a family reunion. Checking onboard in Baltimore was quick and orderly. Once onboard we explored the ship while waiting for our cabin. Once in the cabin, the amount of rust, holes in the steel from rust, and rusted through stiffeners was quite noticeable on our balcony. It was also covered in salt. Needed to use a towel on the hand rail ...
We chose to go on the Breakaway so we could get to Tortola to do the Gorda Salt Bath excursion. We’ve sailed on the Breakaway twice before and enjoy the ship layout. Despite missing two ports on the cruise that was unavoidable there were other factors that made me rate this as only a two out of five. We had a “Make Up Room” light out on our stateroom and this caused some delays getting our room ...
This was out first cruise for our 1 year wedding anniversary and we were looking forward to it for many months. We chose NCL over many other cruise lines for the extras we were getting for "free" turns out free is not free there is always a cost some are just very well hidden.
our trouble started when our free airfare had us landing at the airport approx. 1.5 hrs before the ship was to sail ...
We cruise NCL regularly and chose the Eastern Cariben cruise because it was one itinerary we have not sailed and my friend wanted to see St. Thomas. This cruise almost started off with a bang when a bomb scare was called in at the Miami port. On our way to San Juan, we learned they had just had a 6.2 eaerthquake and when we arrived, everything was closed except Walgreens where we bought tee ...
Hubby and I were celebrating our 20 year anniversary and went back to the Caribbean where we honeymooned 20 years prior. Knowing it’s the end of hurricane season we were aware of the potential. Unfortunately, this was the year of never ending storms in the Atlantic. We left Florida with a storm brewing it were hoping to outrun it. We landed in Puerto Rico which due to the 6.1 earthquake the ...
We chose this cruise because of the port stops of St Thomas and Nassau Bahamas. Unfortunately, they didn’t take us to either port. The only two stops we made were San Juan, Puerto Rico where there was very little to see or do and Tortola British Virgin Islands, which is a very small island. We took a bus around the island, stopped at a beach and that was basically all they had at that ...
We chose this cruise because all of the extras that Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) were throwing in if we booked by a certain time.
Here is the good.....
The food on board was excellent and so was the entertainment. We liked the "free style dining" theme on the boat. The phone app that we downloaded was excellent as well. Even though Margaritaville had a $15 up charge it was still a good ...
My sister cruised aboard the Carnival Magic from September 22-28. As this was our first cruise we were excited; however, Carnival stamped out that excitement real quick! Carnival does a real good job of letting passengers know their money, not their experience, is what matters most. If we could get our money back we would!
CONS
1.A lack of decent water. The water available for free from the ...
