Sailed the 7 day Mexican Riviera itinerary on Navigator of the Seas. It was our first time cruising with Royal but our sixth cruise thus far. We have sailed primarily with Disney and once with Princess and Carnival.
The good: service was pretty good. I had traditional early dining and we loved our head and assistant server. They were polite, and on it. Fulfilled our requests and understood ...
Overall this cruise was well done—everything went smoothly, staff was friendly and helpful, food was well made, embarkation and disembarkation was a clear, simple and speedy process, a wide variety of activities were offered for varying interests.
Unfortunately, there were two instances that quite negatively impacted my experience. The first being, I attended a minute-to-win it event that was ...
I'm writing this review of my (very first non-Carnival!) cruise aboard the Emerald Princess. This was a 5 day cruise with 2 days (an overnight) in Cabo from 5/27/23 to 6/2/23.
I will preface this review by confessing that I am a regular cruiser on Carnival; I am not bougie and didn't really have any high expectations for this trip, although I've heard, of course, that Princess is classier and ...
This cruise was a last min memorial trip. We have been on 20+ cruises/various ships RCL, NCL, Carnival and Disney. Did Carnival same itinerary 2022 memorial and had a great time. RCL this was by far the worst cruise experience. Embark Day: prk lot 80% full but they refuse to let anymore cars in even with handicap they directed us to a lot blocks away and we had to wait for a shuttle take us to the ...
This is the simplest ship I’ve been on and I think this was my 23rd cruise. Very little artwork, cutbacks on everything. It was the Motel 6 of cruise ships. On a positive note, people seemed to be enjoying themselves and I love visiting Catalina Island. The spa was nice and I had a great massage. If you like spa treatments and get offered the spa cabins on deck 11, I recommend the upgrade. ...
We had booked transfers from LAX to the ship through the cruise line. Our plane was late and we arrived well past the 1 o'clock deadline. I figured we had forfeited our transfer fare and would need to collect our baggage and find our own way to the pier. As we made our way to baggage claim, I was shocked to find an RCCL representative by the name of Bill, who said he had been waiting for us and ...
We chose this cruise because it was a complete transit of the Panama Canal. The cruise had 5 stops plus a full day transiting the canal. Stops were Puerto Vallarta and Huatulco, Mexico; Puntarenas, Costa Rica; Panama City, Panama; and Cartagena, Columbia.
We booked local tours through Travel Advisor for all ports but Puntarenas which we booked through Princess. The Princess tour in ...
Let me start of by saying I LOVE Disney and all that it entails. That said, my family was overall disappointed with the cruise.
We were a group of 20, and the cruise line did great putting us all in the same area and accommodating us at the rotating dinners.
We experienced one major issue that was not rectified. The theater below deck six plays movies late into the night. I mean a 10:45 pm ...
For our 25th wedding anniversary, my husband and I cruised the California Coast on Celebrity Solstice. We viewed this as a trial cruise, our first back since the pandemic.
It was our third time on Solstice after cruising the Caribbean in 2011 and Alaska in 2017. The ship is worn and would have gone to drydock already if not for the pandemic. But she is still lovely with high marks for design. ...
First time on Celebrity.
The Pacific coast itinerary(RT Los Angeles) was the reason we booked this cruise. Living not far from the Los Angles port allowed us to drive to the port with no need to fly.
The crew members were very nice and accommodating. Captain announcements on the PA system were timely although at times were difficult to understand(heavy accent).
The food at the main ...
