We chose Norwegian Spirit for the itinerary since we are huge fans of LOTR and The Hobbit movies. Taking advantage of a special fare sale that included airfare meant we could spend more time and see more than on a land tour. This was our very first cruise on any line. As a party of 4 with 2 older teens we ended up booking two rooms so everyone had enough space. I can’t say I would ever do that ...
Cruised on the Dawn for the itinerary. Staying onboard all the way to Capetown. No complaints at all regarding the ship or the food. The only reason for 4 stars is I believe a 5 star rating is reserved for spectacular cruising and very few cruise ships get that rating. The Dawn has gotten us to all the ports as expected and will do so for the next 2 weeks. Being an older ship, it is very ...
It was when Lorena, Sous Chef in the Horizon self-service restaurant, asked me on the first morning what sort of bread I preferred for my breakfast toast that I had an inkling that Aurora was going to deliver something special. The 65-night Grand Tour to the USA and Caribbean certainly did that, starting each day with seeded bread for my toast, baked by Lorena and cheerfully delivered to my table ...
We wanted to escape our winter weather, and this was a desired return visit to a prior war zone for one of us. We also wanted to try a Celebrity cruise, to compare it to the others we have done.
Embarkation was chaotic, and we were initially herded to the wrong line, for people not needing Vietnam visas.
Our cabin had a good sized veranda, and an average sized room. We were dismayed to ...
This was our fourth time on the Silhouette. We really enjoy the S class ships, especially the silhouette and reflection, as we love the lawn club grill. This was a 9 night cruise. We enjoyed the ports, have also been their multiple times so we didn't always get off. We were in a sky suite and like the fact that the ship was revolutionized. The retreat lounge was great, and as usual we spent a ...
As title took 2 1/2 hours to get though customs, and this is not the first time, so I will never cruise on any ship from Barcelona again. Going the other way trying to get out of Barcelona wasn't much better only took 1 1/2 hours so be carful. The ship great I like that size of ship 2500 / 3500 people is big enough for us, cabin first time very close to lifts never heard a thing. Fastest we have ...
We chose this cruise because, for us, no fly and we were able to book at late date. Embarkation was seemless, almost too quick and easy. We had to wait 3 hours before stateroom was ready and eating venues were jammed. But once settled in, the sail away past the Statue of Liberty was magnificent on a clear, crisp day. Disembarkation was a little delayed, but once called, moved right through. ...
We ended up booking this cruise because the opportunity to travel to Barcelona, other parts of Spain and also Casablanca was very appealing. We were also looking for a cruise at this time of year and this was the most interesting itinerary we could find.
In our opinion Celebrity lived up to its billing as a premier cruise line. The service we received was excellent. We enjoyed the dining ...
I chose this cruise to celebrate New Year’s Eve and for the itinerary including Roatán because we wanted to experience the sloth and monkey sanctuary. The ship was clean and beautiful and easy to get around. Service in all areas could not have been better. Several areas smelled of cigarettes, including outside the theater and the game room, which was undesirable. The pool did not have a slide, ...
Amazing! This cruise was so good. The decoration was so unique Alice & Wonderland themed. The food was TO DIE FOR ! The entertainment was amazing. Wow. The workers were the best people ever. Amazing time. Go to all the activities and shows. They’re all so good
Definitely go to the dining room every night and for brunch. Also spend the extra and go to Nic & Nora’s- best steak and sides I’ve ...
