Too few waiters, too much cost cutting, penny pinching everywhere, but staff great and ship in good condition. Food nowhere need as good as it used to be and repeated items on each evenings menus. Some of the things that used to be included, such as lobster, now are charged extra, although we did get a small portion as part of the main meal on one evening.Limited options in Horizon dining room. ...
First the pros of this cruise and the Sapphire Princess ship, and there were several areas that were excellent:
1. Medallion service/functionality is great. Making it very easy to order food and drinks pretty much anywhere on the ship. Embarkation was simple/easy. The medallion appears to be the only new thing that Princess has done since we sailed last with them in 2016.
2. The ...
First i want to say this was my 2nd cruise and my brother's 1st, carnival was much better. This cruise lacked things to do. I requested 2 weeks in advance to have it noted that my BROTHER and I were cruising and to have the best already separated. They didn't. Out bathroom reaked of urine the whole time even after we sanitized it when we first arrived. The hallways were so narrow. I had an acct ...
I had never sailed on Celebrity. 4 previous on Norwegian. That was my comparison and Eclipse was a bit of a disappointment with a 5.5 rating on Vacations to Go.
Pros: the crew tried very hard and were friendly and courteous always. Not sure how happy or cohesive they were.
Felt fairly new. Stateroom was well maintained and clean. Ship interior is quite beautiful with glass elevators ...
We chose the 20 day repositioning cruise from Vancouver to Ft Lauderdale mainly for an opportunity to relax and be pampered..not as much for the ports of call en route. My husband has mobility issues and we didn’t expect to do many excursions ( I did 3 and he, 2). We welcomed days at sea.
We chose a Signature suite because more spacious. The bathroom was lovely and we did like extra room ...
This is my third sailing on Royal Caribbean and I would have to say the food quality has dropped off considerably. First time with a 3-day cruise, entertainment was good - the main theater show "Showgirls" was very good, the entertainment team was mixed. Jessica and Monica were very good. Playmakers staff was excellent, the bar tenders made some specialty drinks that were excellent. There buffalo ...
We are repeat customers of Oceania (fifth time for my wife, third for me) but first time on Regatta and first cruise post-pandemic. Compared to previous Oceania cruises, we found the food and service generally mediocre. Terrace Cafe items mostly bland (including two days of the most flavorless Mexican we've ever eaten) and at least once, the Grand Dining Room menu included many of the same items ...
My wife and I were on an Oceania Insignia Mediterranean cruise years ago. The food and overall experience was amazing!!! We have done Regent and RC cruises, but have been mainly using Holland America for cruises (love the Pinnacle class ships!)
We wanted to do another Oceania cruise... mainly for the food. We were on The Regatta for the September 27 through October 4 cruise "California ...
Cruised on multiple cruise lines, been on 3 Royal Caribbean cruises including cruise on Oasis of the Seas.
I must give five stars for the fantastic activities they offer, such as laser tag, ice skating, water slides, and boogie boarding. The staff overseeing these activities were truly amazing, and the pool deck lifeguards and water slide attendants were friendly and attentive.
Our balcony ...
I'm not one to write reviews that skew negative, but because I had just stepped off a Carnival cruise the same day that I boarded Navigator, the difference in service and entertainment was striking. I've sailed with RC before and was expecting a similar experience and product, but the Navigator definitely seems like a weak link in RC's fleet.
I chose this cruise because it lined up well with ...
