We had heard from several friends about how good this cruse is. So, we went in with high expectations. We have to say that Viking exceeded even those expectations. They covered the entire trip details from start to finish. Our flight from Washington D.C. arrived in Frankfurt at 5:20 am local time. To our pleasant surprise, there were three Viking personnel waiting for us (about a dozen of us total ...
I was told that NCL offered some of the best cruises around. I was a bit sceptical but today I can say that it was a wonderful experience. Food was very good every where you go. Complementary restaurants are top notch. Drink package is a must and worth every penny spent on it. Entertainment and activities were all the time. Never had a problem with ques or food shortage, ship kept in top ...
We had several friends who took this cruise and we did a lot of research. We have taken several ocean cruises and wanted something different. Good itinerary , great food, lots of choices, great breakfast buffet and you can add French toast, eggs benedict, etc. at the table. Plenty of time off ship to do things. Older crowd then we are in early seventies. Met lots of people. A lot of walking but ...
We really wanted to visit Iceland and Ireland. Spain and Portugal were a bonus, especially Barcelona. However our stop to Dublin was cancelled due to rough seas that prevented us boarding the Tenders.
Other than that the Saturn was an incredible ship. The crew was A+, the amenities were First Class and the ship was really well laid out for the comfort of the guests.
Though we both love ...
We loved the cruise. Great trip, food, excursions, services, the top deck viewing/walking area and cabins were exceptional. Unfortunately, almost everyone got a mild case of Covid.
Regarding the flight arrangements, I was disappointed that my airport - PHL - was not used for a direct flight to Europe. There are direct flights from PHL to Amsterdam which would have saved us 2 1/2 hrs. Going ...
We picked this cruise because we wanted to travel down the Rhein River. This is a wonderful way to travel. THe weather was warmer than we expected but that actually made it better to sit outside. The crew were so attentive and organized. The food was wonderful and not overdone. At each stop we were greeted by "tour guides". Some of course were better than others, but in general they all did ...
We chose this cruise because it was the newest Ship, the itinerary (ports of call), and the feed back we got from people that sailed on other NCL ships including the Prima. What a waste of money..... It was a premium price to be on this ship compared to any others during the time including other NCL ships doing an Eastern Mediterranean route. We could have booked a similar trip on Celebrity in ...
We gave sailed on NCL over a dozen times and found on the Breakaway that standards have fallen and you now get less for your money.
PROS
The staff are hard working and friendly
The specialty restaurants are very good.
CONS
The list of cons is extensive.
No evening turndown service anymore
Food in complimentary restaurants cold and unappealing
Buffet food not great, no ...
The housekeeping staff were awesome. Arvin and Gene were very helpful and always friendly and had a smile. Greeted me by name each time they saw me. The assistant cruise director and Harry were there to play baggo. The wait staff were very friendly and very very good job. The one area I had problems with the cruise was when we signed up for excursions most and the best were already booked. ...
The cruise was lovely overall and we will most likely do a second cruise with Ama. I do want to point out a few things that the majority of the passengers on our cruise found very annoying!
We never got a good description of what the excursions would include. It was very difficult to decide which outing to take with such limited information. For example:
1. On Sept. 14, we were docked in ...
