Family Cruises Reviews

Overpriced, over-crowded. Long wait for food, drinks, entertainment, elevators...most of our time felt wasted in line. Overall the whole experience felt like a marketing scheme, upcharge for everything, constantly trying to sell jewelry, art, another cruise, etc. If you enjoy coffee you'll be badly disappointed! Coffee at restaurants is average at best, the only specialty coffee is Starbucks, for ...

I have been on many cruises and several cruise lines and this was the worst. I will never do MSC again. Most of the staff was rude. The man at the service desk was rude and came back at me when I told him this is the worst cruise I’ve been on. They were not nice to the kids. The sheets on the bed had little balls all over, and the pillows were horrible. The bathroom was so tiny that if ...

I was on the same ship last August. It was not very good, Food and drinks ran out all the time, the food both quality and quantity was bad and I am not fussy with food. But I am extremely pleased and happy to tell you food in the buffet has improved so very much that I thought I was in a different ship and very seldom ran out of things any more. MSC finally got it. Same with the seafood ...

This cruise line is terrible. Boat is over crowded , kids running and fighting in the adult only sections. If is days adult only, enforce it. I understand kids will be on a cruise, but there are adult only areas for a reason. Private Island stop is cancelled because the captain can’t dock the boat. It’s currently 82degs clear skies and a 12 mph wind so all excursions and the trip to the private ...

First off, the ship was way too crowded. You can't walk out of the stateroom without having to push people away. The main pool was literally more human than the actual water in the pool. The slides and ropes coarse were closed the whole time for some reason, and we were charged random daily fees that we didn't know about ($80 a day). Worst of all, we didn't even go to our last location because of ...

Enjoyed multi family 7 day cruise with littles. Food was excellent. Disney exclusive is 24 hour a day room service at no extra charge. Loved waking up each morning to have coffee on the veranda. Make sure to purchase length of cruise Rainforest room; where you can enjoy 3 saunas, various invigorating showers and a private relaxing room. The pool areas always clean. Plenty of activities ...

It was our 5th cruise on Holland. We had been sailing Royal since pandemic, but got a casino offer from Holland. We've always enjoyed Holland and this gave us a chance to get our foot in the door. We booked Club Orange and were not disappointed. Booked Have It All, probably not do in future, we get drinks in casino. We were worried after posts said drinks were only for 1 person, but they were ...

12 years ago we started our first cruise with this line (to Norway) and we loved it , after few cruises with other lines we decided to go back to Holland America , because of our first good experience with them. This time we were unpleasantly surprised that for 12 years the standards have dropped significantly , instead of improving. On the first minute of the cruise we were very disappointed to ...

The food was terrible. You could tell they used frozen vegetables which resulted in soggy and oddly salty vegetables. Dry and overcooked meat. Overcooked pasta and noodle. The rice was wet and crumped together. They either used instant rice or a messed up pot. The only things that are ok were pizza, burger and soft-serve ice cream. Fine dining every evening was no better as they serve similar food ...

Cabin- we had a nice balcony along with lots of space. 5 stars for that. Food- main dinning room was not good, at all. Whole wheat pasta for kids, is that a joke? Nope. No Caesar salad on dinner menus. No buffet at night either. Room service is available 24/7 though. We had the late dining at 8:15 pm, terrible. Kids were tired. Dinner service was awful, we appeared to be the last ones there ...
