The reasons people choose for cruising are many and varied. What one expects of a cruise depends a great deal on those reasons for undertaking the voyage. So keep that in mind as I reflect on my recent 9-day Caribbean cruise on the massive Norwegian Getaway. If you’re going on a cruise to party, drink, and lie on the deck getting sunburned, this may be the cruise for you.
First, let me say ...
Celebrity deilvered a really good time for us ahead of what we learned would be a hiatus for the beautiful Silhouette. My review may obviously cover a ship configuration that will have been significantly revamped. For instance, my favorite room, the Wine Cellar, apparently will be eliminated.
Embarking and disembarking both went very efficiently. The public rooms on the Silhouette were really ...
One of our bucket list items was to visit New Zealand, overall the cruise was good and we visited some great places. Only downside is the excursions booking thru Princess are to expensive so l would suggest to anyone book once you go ashore at destinations and you will save a lot of money. Food and dining was good with great wait staff who where friendly and helpful. The Ruby Princess is a ship ...
Let me start by saying that I have cruised over 25 times, and usually travel on Carnival, where I am Platinum. We just returned from 5 day itinerary to Costa Maya and Cozumel. The ports were fun as usual, so I'll spend some time talking about the ship.
SERVICE/SHIP:
I have been on NCL several times before, and it seemed to me that the service was much better on this ship, perhaps because it ...
Why not spent some nights on the Queen Elizabeth as part of Pre Xmas celebrations, I thought. We were on her not so long ago in Feb and then in April on her way to Japan for the Sakura or Cherry Blossom. So this is really, a novel way for us to past the time away. We were just back from her sister ship in the Med in Sept. Making the best use of her while she is in Australian waters. Otherwise, it ...
Overall the cruise was great, a few improvements could be made, I'll get to that later.
Disney truly goes above and beyond with customer service! It was my granddaughter's first cruise and her first trip out of Canada without her mother (my daughter) due to severe food allergies. To put things in context, she's unable to have restaurant or take-out experiences back home for fear of ...
We decided some months ago to go on Splendor's first cruise out of Sydney, mainly to meet some of the crew who have become friends after many cruises on Carnival Spirit and it was certainly great to catch up with them all.
Our first impressions were OMG, who designed this ship? Someone obviously obsessed with pink and doughnuts..oh and eggs in the ceilings of the main dining room. To say it is ...
After sailing on the Eurodam two previous times in the past 14 months, we were looking forward to this trip.
Our disappointment was primarily in the fact that the ship’s services have declined significantly. The ship has discontinued its production shows. And the level of talent being hired for the main stage is also declining.
Further, the ship no longer offers lunch in the dining room ...
Our group consisted of an 82 yo, 60 yo, 56 yo, and 2 x 14 yo. We had 2 cabins. Embarkation was straight forward with no problems. Muster was a shambles. Our 2 cabins were split into different areas (was told families would be kept together) and could not see or hear the instructions clearly. The area had been painted and it wasn't dry so we all had big sticky grey paint clumps on our shoes. The ...
First of all my loyalty level with Princess is Elite so I have sailed with them numerous times. I just retuned from a Dec. 10 - Dec. 20, 2019 cruise on Caribbean Princess. We had a great time. We had two mini suites next door to each other. We loved eating in the main dining room and find it much better food than the buffet. The buffet setup encourages people to overeat. We ate at the Crown ...
