Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

In this review I want to distinguish between the ship, which we dearly love, and Cunard's service, for which I have only limited love. After about a dozen trips on Cunard (we are Diamond status), and after over 18 months of cancelled and altered holidays, we were eager to return to the QM2. This is a special ship, the last true ocean liner, which is built to comfortably navigate the high seas. ...

Initially cruise seemed to be a very good deal, 21nights from Barcelona but as soon as we landed at Barcelona the chaos commenced, MSC staff greeted us but there were no buses to transport us to the port, waited over a hour with no explanation offered. On arrival on MSC SEAVIEW we somehow managed to get our cruise pass without taking a mandatory covid test, once we pointed this out we were ...

We embarked in Marseille for a 10 day Med cruise followed by a 16 day Transatlantic . The ship was spotless , the attention to Covid issues was excellent and the 800 crew members were all friendly and solicitous. Caviar was sparse but foie gras and lobster was there in abundance. The entertainment was far superior to what we experienced on the Marina some years ago from Rome to Rio. We ...

My shipmate and I booked this cruise after the MSC Seashore TA cruise was suddenly cancelled. In the end this was a godsend as the Sky Princess turned out to be absolutely the best possible voyage. Boarding the ship was a breeze in Southampton - took half an hour to drop baggage, get Covid tested, and pick up Medallion. The ship is gorgeous! Very tasteful and no water slides, carousels ...

Extremely knowledgeable and attentive crew members!! The cabin, restaurant, bar and service crews were well trained and enthusiastic. Extremely clean ship in every area. Where ever we went someone was scrubbing something. There was minimal to no internet service on this crossing. Overall terrible IT coverage, although again, the crew servicing the internet area gave it their ...

We booked this transatlantic cruise in the depths of the pandemic to have something to look forward to - we never imagined that we'd still be wondering right up until the last minute whether it would go or not. Along with being our very first time on an Oasis class ship, our experience was certainly different due to the very small number of pax on board: approximately 1300 on a ship designed to ...

The passengers on this cruise seemed to fall into two broad categories: people who were using credits from cruises cancelled during Covid and people who just aren't willing to fly. I fell into the first category. I enjoy just being on the ocean, sailing somewhere, anywhere. What's there not to like? The people in the second category did not expand on the reasons why they spent 2 weeks making a ...

Two hours to Southampton and no airport . Must say the check in and covid test was very well organised. Once on the ship I could see that it was going to be hard to get served . The staff work very hard but there isn't enough of them . To be expected during the pandemic but my other half is not very patient . Bags were waiting at our cabin , had a quick look around the balcony had other ...

We chose this cruise as our 1st foreign trip since covid. Check in slots are a farce. Turn up when you want. Lip service covid measures in general. They do insist on hand washing entering the buffet though. Food is average to poor with a few exceptions. Buffet at night time is really poor. Lunchtime is a much better experience with plenty of variety and some good curry dishes. Main dining room ...

The ship is large enough and yet you still get a personalized experience. Love sailing with Princess - my slogan for them is "Let Princess Do it" . From picking me up at airports - to booking a pre-sail hotel - taking me to the ship - taking my luggage - they do it all. Their shore excursions are good - had a wonderful Whale Watch on Tenerife! The boat had chaise lounges so we would relax as ...
