We travelled as a family two groups one group of Grandparents and son and daughter in law with a seven month old baby. We booked two mini suites which were really lovely, well furnished and really comfy beds with lovely duvets and pillows. We took our own travel cot for the baby because Princess did not guarantee that one would be available!!!! The weather was horrendous as we travelled with ...
On 17th March 2024 we went on a 14 day Caribbean cruise with Seabourn on Ovation. This review reflects our experience on this new ship. We have previously had two 14 day Caribbean cruises on Seabourn Odyssey. This has greatly affected our views about the new ship and may differ greatly from someone’s views taking their first Seabourn trip.
We have previously been extremely impressed with the ...
As expected, all of the Viking staff were very helpful and responsive and provided exceptional service. Additionally, the ship (Herja) was in excellent condition, clean, and comfortable.
This was our second Viking cruise, 2014 being our first. I was surprised that we needed to bus between Zurich and Basel. More surprising, and quite disappointing, was the 6.5 hours on the bus from Trier to ...
We booked this cruise last minute as it seemed to be a good deal with a reduced drinks package fee and complimentary balcony upgrade. We had heard mixed reviews from other cruisers but as it was a good price we were willing to give it a go.
Overall impression of the ship - really beautiful aesthetic and the galleria area is impressive, however, on an evening when there are events happening the ...
I booked this shorter Med cruise, to check if standards and general improvement where high on MSC wish list, to my dismay they were not. After a shambolic trip on the MSC Opera from Abu Dhabi to Genoa in may 2023, I tested the so called high calibre of service and quality which the company was aiming for, unfortunately all fallen by the wayside.
The embarkation process was swift and very quick, ...
Choose this cruis for Caribbean after 8 other tui cruises. Intinary great, ship average. Cabins kept spotless, free restaurants poor quality and service when busy. Paid restaurants such as silver fork very good. Compared to other marella ships restaurant management poor. Allowed to get to full before asking people to wait. Entertainment was not the best, shows has poor singers although dancers ...
We got a good deal on this ship and needed to use 5 days leave-had cruised on the Magnifica a few years so thought it would be good as a new ship. Beautiful, shiny, glossy and sparkly with fabulous entertainment and brilliant proper dining in the restaurants in the evening, however beware.
Horrendously expensive to buy anything-65 Euros EACH for a T-bone,1 Euros for a large Toblerone! Serious ...

16th February 2024 – Barbados round trip 2 weeks
P&O with TUI arranged the flights from Gatwick. This was excellent; plenty of helpful staff at the airport and checked the bags which we did not see again until they arrived in the cabin. We flew premium, on a Dreamliner and TUI were again excellent and at BDI we simply went straight onto the coach and to the ship for ...
Onboarding process over 2 hours due to security breach. Many of us older folks had no place to sit and both standing and making it to the floor were both bad choices. Prior to the cruise I booked dinner reservations at specific times, specific days, and specific locations using the Princess app. On our first night's dinner we were scolded by the receptionist for being late. I asked her, what do ...
This was my first and most likely last Princess cruise. They did not honor the items in Princess Plus package I purchased when booking the cruise through a travel agent a year ago. Guest service staff response was “that was the old package”. How was I supposed to know it changed? Guess they never heard of “grandfathering”!
The room steward was wonderful as was the Amalfi dining room staff. My ...
