Luxury Cruises Reviews

We are long time Silversea cruisers with nearly 400 days and have always defended them. Not any more. We enjoyed our recent cruise but it was hit and miss at best and considerably down market. Forget the dress code, jeans and tracksuits in the restaurant on informal and even formal nights. Guests were scruffy and dare I say unwashed! I actually began to dress down as I wondered why I bothered ...

We arrived at about 2pm ready for our boarding time of 2.15. It was a very smooth embarkation and we were on board by 2.30. To say the ship has just had a refit, I noticed some of the carpets needed to be replaced. Other than that everything seems to be up to the usual standard. It was nice to see that most of the facilities were open again. The service in all of the bars and the ...

We have done more than 30 cruises with Cunard which has always been our first choice for cruising until now! We chose this cruise for the itinerary, including the scenic cruise through the Mull of Kintyre which was truly spectacular and a plus. Overall the cruise was a big disappointment primarily because the standard of service was not ‘White Star’. In the Princess Grill restaurant, the ...

Getting away on what we thought would be a restful and peaceful cruise across the Atlantic was anything but that, and we will never sail with Cunard again. Entering the terminal and boarding the ship was about the only positive part, although as we masked up from that first minute we wondered about Covid on the ship. Turns out we should have wondered as the ship was ripe with Covid ...

We have long planned to travel to the Scandinavian countries and Viking gave us a two week dream come true . We were wowed every day of site seeing! The tours and guides were outstanding! The sites we saw were amazing- One beautiful site after another. The touring could not have been any better! The food on board was wonderful! The selections of "destination" meals were always delicious! We ...

Scotland intensive has been on our bucket list due to Scottish heritage on both of our sides of the family. We loved all of the ports except Invergorden, which was dismal and nothing much to see. The shore excursions were excellent, the dining (especially the two specialty restaurants) was fabulous, and we loved our suite. This was our first experience with Azamara and we've already booked ...

First, the positive impressions - as compared to my expectations: - Service was outstanding! They were right on top of everything without being overbearing. - Cruise itinerary due to smaller ship size. Even when tenders were required it was efficiently operated. - Food quality and presentation. - Dining room atmosphere. Noise level was low with no disturbing background music. ...

We have sailed on a wide variety of cruises from a pricing perspective, with Azamara running towards the higher end. We chose this cruise based largely on its self-description as a port intensive, all inclusive journey. We found neither to be the case. Two of the ports were particularly disappointing. Invergordon, the port for Inverness, is a small town with very little going on, and is a 45 ...

We had never cruised Oceania, wanted the small ship experience that Holland America no longer offers, first time Alaska. We booked an owner's suite, there are six of these on this ship. Promised "priority boarding" was a joke, we were treated to a cattle-call through screening and security behind a very large crowd of passengers (75 to 100) before boarding, anyone who felt like it was allowed to ...

Having cruised multiple times but never on an Azamara ship, I was anxious to experience what she had to offer. I chose the Quest for the itinerary around Scotland. Even with the residual covid problems, crew in masks etc., the ship was fantastic. I loved the smaller size of the ship, the upscale food and the way it was beautifully presented. Our captain was very friendly and often seen around ...
