This was our 4th Carnival cruise, but the first one we've taken in Europe. Embarkation went well, although the coach transfer from London to Dover, which we purchased from Carnival, departed 50 minutes late. We had hoped to get to Dover with time to explore before departure, but the coach got there too late.
Generally we found the food to be quite good. They no longer provide menus in the ...
We had booked a cruise with my daughter and her family last year, but it got cancelled. So this was the new date. My wife and I, my daughter and her hubby and grandchildren Theo (13 ) and Imogen (11).
The flight from Manchester to Valletta was at 2.05 pm. and because it was late taking off we didn't arrive at Valletta airport until 7.30 pm - their time. Collecting Luggage and embarkation went ...
Being on a relatively early sailing of a new ship comes with some benefits... and sometimes a few drawbacks. For the most part, I really enjoyed my experience on the Disney Wish - there is a lot to like... but overall execution and experience just wasn't there yet. As the crew gets used to a ship, this is the stuff that usually improves over time - but in the early days, everyone is figuring ...
we choose this cruise because of our dear friends of 35 years. They had reserved this cruise several years ago and my DW and I thought we would rejoin our adventures with them. It was difficult to book a cabin 9 months out. Little did we know this itinerary was the inaugural cruise for Celebrity's to visit Greenland. Our last Inaugural cruise was the Infinity cruise to Antarctica in 2010! ...
I haven't cruised in a long time, so I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. I will say I was largely impressed with the experience on the Equinox and the good certainly outweighed the bad. I broke my review down into the good and the bad. All the "goods" weighed equally to me. The "bads" I listed from what I see as bigger issues down to more minor knits.
The good (in no particular order):
The ...
This was our 11th Cruise on NCL and second time on the Dawn. As always we had a great time. Every cruise is what you make of it. We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. St. Petersburg was originally on the schedule but was dropped for obvious reasons. It was replaced by an overnight in Helsinki and a stop in Visby good choices.
Embarkation went smooth we arrived a little earlier ...
We did the Montego Bay, Grand Cayman & Cozumel itinerary. All the ports were nice, well timed and friendly. The ship itself was very clean & well maintained. Our balcony cabin on deck 7 was roomy enough for 3 of us (we also had an oceanview cabin for our group) and our cabin stewardess did a fine job taking care of it and us. The food in the main dining room was outstanding breakfast & dinner on ...
We were a family of 11 that included grandparents, parents, two in early twenties, two teens and a 7 year old. Our family cruises alot. We have sailed with RCCL, Celebrity, Carnival, NCL, MSC, Costa, but this was our first Disney cruise. It was delightful. Embarkation was a breeze - with the most pleasant staff we have ever encountered during boarding process! Everyone was smiling and welcoming ...
I originally booked an Oasis cruise in 2019 for 2020, fast forward post Covid and here we are, same ship but a slightly different 9 day itinerary than we first had. Cape Liberty was painless, we had a check in of 10am, arrived at the port at 9:40, dropped off our luggage and parked in the building lot next to the ship, we passed security got checked in and then sat and waited until the ship was ...
Hello all, although we are only returned from our trip a couple of days and still catching up on life, I thought I should get something on the boards based on the recent conversation about no comments from Britannia passengers.
A short bit about us, husband and I are 62 and 57, retired, live in the Sarasota/Bradenton area of Florida. We take 4-6 international trips per year, and travel by ...
