Luxury Cruises Reviews

This was our fifth cruise with Regent and the first on the Navigator, which is a smaller ship for 490 passengers. Check in was efficient and our suite was ready at 2:00 P.M. as promised. We were in the Penthouse A level on deck 11. The suite was clean and enough room for us. The suite came with butler service, which was very efficient, friendly and helpful. Both the butler and suite ...

Simply put: Way over priced for the value received. The service was OUTSTANDING. The wait staff and bar staff were superior. The food was mediocre and too eclectic for our taste. Italian offerings were named right but over-presented. It is not a ship to trans-Atlantic on. Sea days were boring. The weather did not cooperate. We were disappointed that there was no "Plan B" for missing the ...

Appalling, disorganised boarding....if I want a quarter glass of paintstripper prosecco I will sail Celebrity. Front line staff were for the most part very good,, but little effort made to learn customer names. Our Butler was too good for this ship, and was a complete star....Very flexible and accommodating. Our Grand Suite had a very usable, cleverly thought layout, but was let down by a tired ...

We choose this cruise since it was the maiden voyage of Viking's first cruise ship. The moment we entered the stateroom I felt it was smaller than their advertised size. We have been on more than 15 cruises and I had a feel for the sizes based of stated square footage. In our stateroom, 3020, two people could not pass between the wall and the bed at the same time and you had to move the table in ...

On board from Istanbul to Venice for the first leg of the 'maiden', there was no particular fanfare or sense that we were part of something special. Too bad, since the ship itself is beautiful. The technical glitches of a maiden were understandable, albeit annoying, such as non-working TVs, a cabin safe locked open for two days, plumbing issues, etc. We were often in the dark as to what was going ...

After booking this cruise two years ago we were very excited to board the ship in Istanbul. Our air was booked by Viking and was actually very good, Delta flights which we were able to upgrade our seats on with good connections.The price we paid for the air from Viking was excellent. We booked a Deluxe Veranda stateroom located on deck 4 . The stateroom was on the port side and toward the ...

Given that the cruise industry is becoming very competitive these days, we would have thought that Cunard would have tried to keep up with the other "luxury" lines. First the good: The embarkation process was very quick and trouble free and efficient. We were Princess Grill passengers and would have to say that we were pleased that we paid the extra for that privilege. The food was ...

I purposely waited 5 days to write this review because I felt I could write a better review after I rested up from the long trip back. Unfortunately, that has not happened, so here goes! First, the ship is beautiful, the crew was great (I am talking out the stewards, butlers, and staff that had direct contact with the passengers). We made wonderful friends which was the highlight of our ...

This was our first time on Azamara although we have cruised almost 20 times. Having said that, I must come clean and admit my favorite line is Seabourn. I also must admit that I compared the two lines and usually found Azamara came up short. I think my biggest problem was in overall service. We quickly learned that we needed to order multiple drinks at the first and usually only opportunity at a ...

We chose this particular voyage for two reasons: we had previously done our first transatlantic crossing on the Queen Mary about 18 months before and we wanted to do that again; and secondly, a friend who has travelled extensively on Oceania raved about this particular shipping line. There was much that we enjoyed about the Riviera and the crossing and some things which disappointed. Let me ...
