Worst ship I have been on in awhile! Worst service I have had on the Princess Fleet. Staff likes to stand around and do nothing. It seems that they do not care about customer service and when I spoke to guest services, they said oh well. I was going to be over charged by the photo gallery for photos that I had pre-purchased. They try to buckle and dime you even after you have pre-paid for the ...
Itinerary was the reason I choose this cruise, did not like the ship, lot of wasted space no one used ,built for the chinese market. Food was poor over all ,Harmony restaurant not worth up charge, Crown Grill was the best place to eat, Main Dining was hit or miss, Didnt even put a garnish in your drink witch has gotten smaller, over all it was not as good as past cruises. Buffet food was very poor ...
I used to cruise quite often, when cruising was a relatively new travel option. I took an hiatus for a while and discovered what this travel form has mutated into is not for anyone who has expectations a beyond Motel 6 level of service and food on par with a mediocre, local diner. All of this is presented in smart uniforms, making a great show to encourage generous tipping.
If this is what ...
After we had such a wonderful time on the Viking Orion ‘welcome back’ cruise around Bermuda in June 2021, we decided to try the “Panama Canal & Coastal Holiday” cruise that sailed from Fort Lauderdale for Los Angeles in December 2021. Our reasons: The impeccable service we received on the Orion in Bermuda; the good food and wine that we enjoyed, the reliable and reasonable COVID safety measures ...

Normally, we have had no issues or problems with Oceania, but this cruise was different. First, the cruise itinerary was changed three days before we travelled canceling a place we wanted to go. Then four days into the cruise, the itinerary was change again dropping two countries and three ports from the cruise entirely. There was no compensation offered and we had 8 days at sea on a 16 day ...
REVIEW OF "GATEWAY TO SUNSHINE” CRUISE"
We just returned from the Oceania “Gateway to Sunshine” sixteen-day cruise that started in Miami on December 21st, 2021. It would be a vast understatement to say our experience with this cruise was disappointing.
We booked this cruise in late August primarily because of the impressive number of destinations it offered: Miami; Georgetown, Grand ...
ship was changed from Sojourn to Ovation (slightly larger) and it was impressed on me that I must read the T & Cs - which I did. Seabourn, unknown to me when I went on board, already had Covid cases on board and which spread rapidly round crew, staff and guests. Isolation seemed chaotic and safety measures were lax - I was passed in corridors by staff exiting Covid cabins in full PPE and not ...
This was my 1st cruise experience. It started off rocky because I paid for double occupancy, but when I later tried to add a friend they told me the friend would have to pay the exact same price I did and they would not have their own cabin room. While trying to resolve the situation I called Princess and after the 2 hour phone wait they said that they could not talk to me directly( that I must ...
I chose this Baja cruise bc I am interested in whales and dream of seeing them up close in beautiful settings. I had cruised to Antarctica w Lindblad and enjoyed it 3-4 years ago.
In Antarctica we did at least 2 expeditions a day. This Baja cruise we had far fewer and far shorter expeditions. On this cruise it was about one per day. Also the expeditions were usually short 1-2 hours: ...
