Panama Canal & Central America Cruise Reviews

Do not i repeat, do not book an norwegian/oceana cruise. You have been warned we are on the around the world cruise currently. the cruise is 196 days from miami florida to new york. It is utterly a complete disappoint. If i was to write every disappointment, we have experienced up to now it would be 10 pages. We are going to try to condense it. First, they advertises the best cuisine at sea. That ...

The staff at dining room botecceli dining was wonderful, however I could not say the same for the staff on Divi Divi dining room, it was Christmas Day and we had an early setting and a private table, we were seated and given menus and then we waited and waited and waited, meanwhile more diners came in and got waited on before us, not acceptable. Not a quiet place on the ship to read or play games ...

They need to continue to market the beauty of the ship, because that's all they have. The ship entertainment is horrifically bad. By far the worst cruise I've been on. The cruise director and his staff were incredibly terrible. There weren't but a couple of activities per day (that weren't self led) and they were dumb things like cup flipping and popping balloons etc. The professional dancers and ...

The booking was triggered by a trip over Christmas and New Year with the destination Central America. Added to this was the cruise line's "reputation" in the premium segment. The ship is a very new ship (built in 2023) and therefore the condition of the ship is of course top. The cabins leave nothing to be desired. They are beautifully furnished and offer plenty of space and storage space. ...

Embarkation: I truly felt sorry for the first time cruisers on this ship because it should not take 4 hours to embark onto a ship. But then I met other people who waited up to 10 hours to board the ship. That's insane!!! There was no communication or updates from workers. No water or snacks were provided. Everyone seemed incompetent and didn't know how to handle adversity. After waiting for 3.5 ...

I went on the 18 day cruise out of Miami on the Divina starting on 12/17/24. This cruise was my birthday (12/16) present to myself that went terribly wrong. After standing in line for around 6 hours, I get to my room at 9:37 pm. On the ship, dinner was only available at the buffet and there were so many people, food was coming out under cooked like the hot dogs.  At 12:00 am on 12/18 my room ...

Yacht Club, Balcony cabin. Check in was horrific. Lines forever. Even with YC we had to wait 3 hours to board. NO drinks, snacks or extra service for at least 2 hours of the wait time. Finally when we were moved to a larger area we had water and the norm for YC. There were physical fights in waiting area as there was no direction from staff as to where the "general Pop" was to wait. So YC ...

Our 7 dec 2023-6 jan 2024 celebrity cruise had a great itinerary and wonderful staff but, was a disappointment on many levels, especially when celebrity air left us stranded. so, with almost 20 cruises under our belts, several of them celebrity, and many more in our future, we will never cruise celebrity again. Here are the details, starting with the positive: the 30 day south american ...

Why pay three times more for a cruise line that is no different than a mainstream cruise line? by cutting corners on food since the food is actually worse than MSC. Limited entertainment venues, just the captain taking over the PA for an hour about navigation details no one cares about, just get us there! The cabin TV's have limited selections with poor to no reception even when at ...

I chose this cruise because a friend recommended it. The great Gatsby wasn't the worst given the fact the wind jammer food was so salty to the point of inflaming my blood pressure. The juices were severely watered down. We mostly did fruits which could have been better, I find that at times the melons were soggy, and the pineapples we were green. Would had loved mangoes because how does one says ...
