Not what I was expecting

We traveled to Lisbon and enjoyed 3 days before boarding, it’s a great city and we enjoyed our time. First off, we had a good cruise and very much enjoyed it, we were expecting the 6 star luxury cruise that is marketed, but is not what we received. Pros: Beautiful, spacious new ship. Our suite was a nice size and nice balcony. Our room attendant (Anil)and butler were terrific, always ...

Food so inconsistent, and lack of quality more often than not. Ran out of major booze labels, pierria and pelligrino water. I constantly failed to provide service that we expect on a luxury carrier. Staff inexperienced and would respond with a can't do it instead of checking and making sure it was done. Tours although included were too big....average 35 guests each. The formal and informal nights ...

Having done more than twenty Crystal cruises I have been trying alternatives since their demise (yes, I know they are back in business, I have booked a Crystal cruise for later this year), I tried Seabourne - nearly as good as Crystal - and three Silversea cruises in last nine months. This was my second cruise on Silver Dawn, it didn't have the same vibe as my first cruise, it just didn’t feel ...

Beautiful ship, poor entertainment

I chose this cruise for good value and newer and bigger ship. The ship is truly beautiful. 1. Dining room food was good, service was excellent, ambience was wonderful. 2. Buffet was chaotic. Food was displayed in 2 narrow aisles on each side of the ship. It was hard to find a seat. 3. Food was average, it lacked variety. Roasts of beef, lamb, chicken and pork were good. Soups were always ...

My wife and I chose this cruise to finish a self managed holiday as we were in Europe and wanted to travel through the Suez Canal to Dubai and this cruise had the stops we wanted included three days in Egypt. My wife and I cruised the Silver Spirit from Athens to Dubai in late October through to mid-November 2023 and now have had time to reflect on the experience from booking through to ...

The cruise from Athens to Sydney was split into 3 parts : Athens to Dubai / Dubai to Singapore / Singapore to Sydney. The maximum passenger capacity is approx 2700. The back to back passengers (sailors) totalled 1200 for the 42 days on board. The demographic / average age was 61 yo. Unfortunately despite Virgin Voyages having this information well in advance, the entertainment was aimed at a ...

Trying Celeb solo for the second time, last chance for the X

I had a pretty poor X experience a few years ago on the Eclipse, the captain having to write to each cabin to apologise type of experience. I wanted though to travel the Suez Canal though and so it seemed a good time to give the X another try. it started badly though when their greeters in Rome said I wasn't on their list and went on from there. The room had used toothpicks and peoples pills in ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

We spent a wonderful week in Singapore before boarding for the Cruise to Australia so we were looking forward to the cruise home. Voyager was the first ship we ever sailed on with Royal Caribbean several years ago and we were anticipating a great cruise similar to our previous experience. Boarding in Singapore was a nightmare. Very slow, hot and some not very accommodating port staff, in fact, ...

Nice looking ship, but o so bored!

The cruise taken- Genoa to Dubai 16 nights. I was aware from the start when booking this cruise that 9 days would be at sea. Having taken over 80- cruises, that's fine by me. Unfortunately it's a shame MSC didn't provide us with much in the way of keeping us occupied! In my opinion the first of what you might call a decent show wasn't provided until the 6th night? Activities during the day ...

Good service, bad food, too many missed ports.

Review for a Trans-Ocean Cruise on Sapphire Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We choose this cruise as a family vacation that would take us half way around the world, Southampton to Singapore, in 37 days. We had some good times and some not so good times, and met many new friends, but I can not recommend the Sapphire. The service is good, but the food is not good. You can always find something to eat, but as a rule, the overcooked meats buried in tasteless brown sauce, ...
