Family Cruises Reviews

Ships propulsion system was not working correctly so we could not go to all of the ports as the ship had to operate at a reduced speed Disembarked from ship too late and we had to run inside the airport, within minutes of missing our flight Tours were canceled while we were on the ship Long confusing lines for embarkation, not welcoming, understaffed Food ran out in buffet, at times ...

ALL of our excursions were either canceled or diminished into worthlessness. The ship was unable to make speed, so visits were truncated or eliminated altogether. The software system that the ship relied on for *EVERYTHING* was either buggy, incomplete or completely inoperative. This was my first vacation ever (born in 1956) and my lady-friends first cruise ever. It has put a fowl ...

Saved for a long time for this once in a lifetime experience and booked 18 months in advance and planned each excursion only to have it fall completely apart 2 days before we left. First a cancelled excursion then “Due to scheduled engine maintenance” the itinerary changed and we lost a port and another excursion but replaced by another port. Then a change itinerary again and lost another port but ...

Room was very small, Beds made daily but not cleaned, Terrible smell on the Ship, that we were ever told about, 1- Sewer back up on deck 4. 2-Ventalation System, It was terrible. No one would answer our Questions about it, All the way to Nineth floor, and dare not ride the Elevators....Sick one whole day, Headache Eyes burning...The ship itself needs alot of work, very dated and old, sounds like ...

We paid a lot for this cruise expecting a truly great experience (Royal Suite). What we received was abysmal! Beginning with embarkation - we had to wait forever to get through the line (but should have been able to bypass it because we were 'suite' passengers. See below for ratings of our suite... The food in the designating dining room was good (Luminae) but the service was very, very slow. Food ...

When you read this review I want you to put yourself in the point of view of it being your HONEYMOON! First to start I will say it was very easy process getting on the ship. Everyone was super nice helping us on etc. We get to our room & we were please at first… then our strawberries and Wine were delivered (SUPER STOKED) to find out our fridge didn’t get cold so that was a bummer. Our ...

Recently my wife and I took a 28-day cruise from Southampton to San Francisco. Covid-19 dogged the entire 9,615 nautical miles of the voyage. Our troubles began even before we boarded Queen Elizabeth. Cunard demanded a certified negative antigen test dated no more than 24 hours before boarding. That meant finding a provider open on a Sunday – which we did eventually at a cost of £70. Not once ...

I couldn't wait to start cruising again and get back to some sort of normality. I went with my eyes open, fully expecting covid associated issues, but I totally underestimated things. I hope (and I'm pretty sure) that it's only the Emerald, but this ship is extremely poor. I'm an 'elite' member, so have made dozens of Princess cruises. I've kept coming back which is an indication of how highly ...

The NCL Jade May 1, embarkation Anthens, round trip. The following issues occurred during the 7 night cruise. 1) Lack of communication that an antigen test was required before boarding, which was redundant due to the PCR test that was required before we could board. 2) Port being removed without prior notification until on board and reviewing itinerary. And notification that a 2nd PCR would ...

This was our first cruise ever. We planned it for over a year. Our first impression was a 5+ hour wait to emabark and have a room. Our room was not clean and ready when we arrived. It was also on the quarantine deck so we had to be rearranged. The boat looked outdated (but nothing to compare it to, until other seasoned cruisers affirmed this) The ports and excursions were horribly planned ...
