Transatlantic Cruise Reviews

I would like to give ZERO star, but I can't. MSC is a low, low, low quality cruise. If you like good food, avoid it. The meals offered are POOR and quality not so good. Staff if not well trained (specially customer service). The "juices" offered during breakfast time aren't juice: it is like a water with something with a horrible taste. This is my 7th cruise and the worst that I ever been. Even ...

The highlight of this cruise was to visit Jamestown, however after only two hours at anchor at St. Helena, the captain set sail for 6 days at sea saying we could not tender in. The ocean was calm but you could see waves crashing against the wharf. I queried why we could have not waited until afternoon to see if the waves would have subsided and his response was that there wasn’t enough time in ...

My husband and I love NCL and have never been disappointed until now. We chose the NCL Viva because we love cruising in new ships on their first transatlantic crossing. The NCL Viva is visually stunning. The comedians onboard were fantastic. The band in Syd Norman’s Pour House was wonderful. However… The 6-7-8 common areas are no longer the hub of the ship and are too small. On ...

If you want to want to wait an hour for a drink, two hours for dinner.. extras added to your bill you didnt have and have to keep asking for it to be removed and disinterested staff… this is the cruise for you. The ship is nothing special and the lack of forward bar leads to packed atrium bars. No prom deck means the jogging track is packed with slow walkers.. the gym was good with good ...

Booked this cruise just a few days before the sailing as a spontaneous way of returning to the states rather than flying. We’d sailed with MSC many times but not since 2016. I don’t know where you could find such horrible poor quality food. I spotted the executive chef onboard and asked why he allows such embarrassingly bad food and his response was a little shocking. He said,”when we get to ...

This was our third Transatlantic cruise with Carnival and by far the worst. If this had been our first Carnival cruise we'd never set foot again on a Carnival ship. The cruise got off to the worst possible start and never really recovered to an acceptable level. It started on a sour note with Embarkation and finished on a sour note with Disembarkation, the bit inbetween was only slightly ...

This cruise took my wife and me to several ports in the Med, two Canary Islands, three Caribbean ports, Miami, and finally Cape Canaveral. The ship is beautiful, really nice. The experience was mediocre to terrible. The first leg from Rome to Barcelona (nine days) saw us going through the large 'cafeteria' deck looking for plates, glasses, and utensils for lunch. Scores of passengers were ...

This was the 4th. MSC Cruise we have taken with another couple and we will not use this line again. The food was absolutely terrible and there were no sanitation requirements going into the dining areas. This was a 17 day Transatlantic cruise and the buffet for breakfast and lunch never changed and the diner menu just kept recycling.. Most of the time we had to wait for utinsels or for the food ...

Cruise selected as destinations allowed us to meet up with friends and family. We are long term Cunard cruisers , having also travelled with several other lines including a previous Princess which was good. Boarding a nightmare at SOU, “stateroom” good ( mini suite with bath). Public room seating is for approx. 1500 passengers ,not 3500. Theatre seats 900 therefore two shows only ...

This was a bucket list cruise to celebrate both turning 70 this year. We have sailed on Sky Princess twice before and booked New England and Canada cruise as we loved everything about the previous cruises and thought it a great fit for our special cruise. We had no idea that, after packages were booked and paid for, Princess would re-invent what they were actually offering in said packages. We ...
