Fabulous itinerary but HAL ship quiet with very little entertainment

Review for a Asia Cruise on Westerdam

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Took the 14 day leg on the HAL Westerdam from Hong Kong to Singapore chosen due to a great itinerary. My first ever cruise and I had been told by my companion, a seasoned cruiser, to expect entertainment, activites, music on deck and shows galore. Sadly this was not the case on the Westerdam and the HAL entertainment was very disappointing. Sea days were quiet with very few activities. Those ...

Too many problems and limitations along with poor quality food / poor activities

This is our 4th cruise this year. First cruise with HAL. We were in a Neptune suite. I will start with the things that were nice - friendly people, efficient embarkation and disembarkation, the food in the Pinnacle (cost extra) restaurant was good. MY opinions: Food and dining: Overall choices timing and availability of food was poor. Whenever I went to the Lido Market they were ...

Never been on a cruise to the Caribean before and wanted something more than a 7-day vacation. Embarking from New Orleans was a nightmare. It took over 3 hours to board and it was a complete mob scene. I had the full drink package but the bars were woefully understaffed, and the bartenders on duty only knew one speed...slow. So I really could not take advantage of this feature. Our room ...

Review for a Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise on MSC Sinfonia

We chose MSC cruises based on their "family friendly" policies and although the reviews weren't great we were willing to give it a go. I have previously cruised with many other lines, however these were all pre-children and so i was interested to see if this was going to be a good way to travel with a small child. I will state that not all my findings were within MSC's control and some ...

Great Cruise to get your drink on, not so great otherwise

We chose this cruise because we were looking for a cheap weekend getaway, preferably out of Port Canaveral as we drive down from metro Atlanta. The old adage you get what you pay for should have been popping into my head. We tried Carnival because I had sailed to Cozumel many years ago on Sensation and remembered it fondly. After this sailing it all makes sense why. When I sailed on the Sensation, ...

Not the best cruise company experience

1. Before we booked the cruise I specifically asked the NCL sales person what would happen if the price decreased after we booked. I was advised we would be offered a portion of the difference as onboard credit. A couple of months after we paid, the booking price decreased by $400.00 for a two week period beginning a month before the sail date. When we inquired about the decrease, we were instead ...

We chose the November 8, 2019 9 day cruise just my wife and I. We have cruised many times before (many different cruise lines) and understand things don't always go as you expect or would like, but Norwegian should be rethinking where they are going and review how their management team performed. From ridiculously long lines on day one to a tender process that could have been better managed by a ...

EMBARKATION This took about 40 minutes end-to-end, which was much faster than other cruises I have been on. Disembarkation at ports was well managed and fast, aside from one occasion when it was complete chaos after a docking delay, as passengers were not provided with revised timings. Timely information was provided on the procedure at ports, plus advice on local customs, tourist ...

By far the worst cruise. Don’t go on the Ruby

What Princess Cruise Lines won’t tell US citizens embarking from Australia. They will try to cheat you! 1. Although you purchase everything in US dollars, your onboard credit you were promised is not in US Dollars anymore, but in AUD. We were jipped! 2. TIP: Usually the tip is mandatory/included in most cruises for US citizens, but you do NOT have to pay the fixed tip for Embarking from ...

The crew seemed not to know their duties or responsibilities. Conflicting responses to questions. Getting off the boat for excursions led to a confrontation with one of the people directing the offloading. We were told that gold latitude members could get priority debarking on tender days. The second tender day, only passengers with cruise tours got off first. The food experience in the ...
