This was my very first ocean cruise. I had specific requirements in my search for the right cruise. I wasn’t interested in a party atmosphere with loud disco music, I wanted to avoid children running around the ship, and I wasn’t interested in spending time with gambling or casinos. I wanted a cruise with diverse dining options in restaurants that didn’t require me to become best friends with a ...
We took the cruise to Cabo San Lucas on 12/19/23. We've taken Royal Caribbean and Holland America before but never with Norwegian. It's the only cruise that fit our schedule so we decided to give it a try.
But since day 1 our experience with Norwegian become so bad. On Day 1, we drove to Long Beach Cruise Terminal, which is a mess. Driving in is a pain since there's only one lane to enter. We ...
Quick holiday week getaway, itinerary wasn't important, chosen mainly for closeness to us (SEA - LAX) and low cost.
Second time we've left out of "World Cruise Center, San Pedro" and both times embarkation was poorly organized outside the terminal, taking over two hours of waiting. Unlikely to use that port again.
Bliss is a fine ship, but has big ship issues. SLOW elevator service. ...
I chose this cruise because it fit the dates of our holiday schedule and I didn't want to go with Carnival. The ship also had broadway shows that we were interested in seeing so that was a special feature for us.
These are the things that happened:
* Day 1- while sitting down with a rep to set up my special dining reservation, the chair broke. I fell onto the tile flooring, bruising my ...

This was a little pre-holiday getaway on the Carnival Radiance. I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I expected. That said, there were some good and some bad. I'll try to leave a comprehensive review.
The itinerary: Just meh. Catalina was the highlight of the two ports. It looks very Mediterranean from the ship. Ensenada was less than picturesque. Neither offers much in the ...
My wife, son and I were spending Christmas with my daughter, son in law and granddaughter who live in California. We decided to do a short 4 day cruise from long beach to Mexico and back as a taster for my son in law who has never cruised before.
Embarkation was average, taking 30-45 minutes. Part of the process was the mandatory safety briefing which consisted of us visiting the 3 lifeboat ...
Based on this fun cruise experience that was our "short test drive" of RCCL, we will keep with our plan to sail with RCCL again summer of 2024 for a long cruise with no hesitation.
I was getting worried reading reviews going into this cruise (our first with RCCL, but we have done 10+ with other cruise lines), but I've come to the conclusion that some reviewers either fail to do research and ...
We selected this cruise to take my MIL for an outing and as she has mobility issues, we needed a nearby port (LA is ~5 hours) that we could drive to. We compared pricing, cabin locations, and timing across Princess, Carnival and RC and the Navigator won out. Also, it has been about ten years since we have cruised on RC and we have a 15-day transatlantic coming up in April so this was a good ...
For our 3rd traverse of the Panama Canal, we expected Viking to offer a distinct educational experience and culinary quality. Both were average (to be generous). One of the lecturers spent more time presenting his experienes in SE Asia than in the Panama Canal and Central America. None of the lecturers addressed the substance of developments in the canal's routing, engineering, building, and ...
