Family Cruises Reviews

Its been 10 years since my last cruise and that was with carnival. We booked a getaway for 3 couples. this was 2 of the couples first cruise ever. we were hoping for a great time, well with that being said. It was not a great or good time. First, i had to get my own luggage out of the hallway. This was 3 hours after being on the boat. wanted to freshen up for the evening after traveling to ...

We chose this cruise because, having reviewed all options it seemed the best fit. We were a group of 9, ages ranging from 1 to 75. The checking was chaos and our group got separated, even though we kept telling them we were all together. We had a wheelchair and a pushchair. We eventually found each other hours later. Our cabins were released reasonably early but our cases arrived many hours ...

The food and service was wonderful. Panana Canal was the Panana Canal. Cartegena was lovely as was Huatulco. Punteranus not so nice. 2 things ruined this cruise for us. 3 of us got COVID 19 around day 4 or 5. There was no screening and no masking at all. What made it worse was that everything was overcrowded. Hard to get a table at the buffet. Hard to get a seat in the theater. Everyting was ...

This was my first and last cruise. I am at loss for words… As a first time cruiser I had a lot of things to learn. Just suck that it came at such an expensive price! The only reason they got a 2 is because the service was good and our room was made everyday just like we like it. The food was HORRIBLE - I work in the school system and our lunch lady made gastronomic food compare to this! ...

Having taken over 35 Celebrity Cruises, we love the brand. That's so true that we splurged for a Royal Suite. Don't make that mistake. The extra large balcony, which should be enticing, had rust throughout, major grout issues, furniture that had to be removed because it was unstable and much more. The cabin is an excellent size but the ship is aging so fast that the pillows and couches were, ...

We have cruised many times of Princess. We were very disappointed on this trip. We booked it as a 32 day cruise from Buenos Aires to LA, not knowing that it was two trips. We did expect rough waters but we didn't except not to see Cape Horn, one of the reasons for the trip. We also had a port excluded because of the weather. There were so many extra sea days. The food and entertainment was ...

Food was awful. Ship was outdated. Staff were nice and pleasant. The ship was constantly in your pocket from the time you sail away until the last day. It is definitely a party boat. Comedy show we saw was good. Nuasau was a nasty trashy place. When we asked staff where the beach was they said walk 20 minutes and make rights. The place was trashy, bums, locals harassing you. The beach had glass, ...

My steward was amazing, but I will never cruise again. I feel like we spent our entire vacation waiting in lines. Whether it be waiting for a drink, waiting for food, waiting to get off the ship, waiting for an elevator, waiting in line for our excursion, or waiting in a line to get back to the ship/ on the ship after an extremely short excursion… I feel that my money would have been better spent ...

I chose this cruise because I wanted to see all of Hawaii- never been and i am in my sixties. Chose this for the fact you see so much of the Islands. I have previously only done a Mississippi River Cruise (American) and Mediterranian (Celebrity), both of which I thought were awesome- with minor quibbles. The Good stuff- The "Hawaiian Ambassador"- Anela St Thomas - is GREAT. Always available ...

Cruising is a game of expectations as with most things in life. Having previously sailed on freestyle ships, that are often looked down on, we expected a little more from our first Holland America experience. So this review is more related to how we were disillusioned with “traditional old school” cruising. Embarkation in Hong Kong. Not a drop of water or morsel of a snack for guests waiting ...
