The minor detail on an otherwise great cruise is that the hot tubs never really get hot enough. The international standard is 103 to 105 Fahrenheit and I felt that the tubs on "Wind" were about 100 to 101 F and that difference is significant ....
The route was a good one. Copenhagen to London. The stops along the way were well thought out and the guides were good.
Cabin service was ...
A great cruise on a small vessel

In late August through mid September, Karen and I had a delightful cruise of the Baltic Sea region, touring nine stops in seven countries. Our cruise was with a high-end luxury cruise line that specializes in operating small ships with very high crew to guest ratios.
We loved every minute of the trip, including ...
We wanted a luxury experience that was all inclusive.
That's exactly what we got.
Our experience started with a very smooth and quick registration process.
We were shown to an incredible suite that we couldn't imagaine was ours.
The butler service was terrific especially the 4:00 PM canape service.
What a treat to have such efficient laundry service!
Dining was pleasurable with ...
Thoroughly delightful!
Our second cruise (and for me, my 11th Cunard cruise/crossing since 1977) in QUEEN ELIZABETH numbers among the very best… in all departments and for all good reasons.
This was our first Princess Grill experience in QE having enjoyed the Grills in QE2 and QM2 and I’d have to rate it the best (even more than QM2 Queens Grill) in service, cuisine and especially the “ship ...
We chose this cruise because of our prior cruise to Tahiti on Marina. We wanted a smaller ship able to dock without tendering and able to navigate in to the Hubbard glacier. Alaska was on our bucket list. We also enjoy fine dining which Oceania is known for. We had a great trip. The excursions were all very good. However, you can book them cheaper yourself but we prefer to pay extra for the ...
My husband and I have traveled all over the world and have taken many very special trips. Our cruise aboard the Adrienne on the canals of Burgundy France ranks among our top four (Tanzania, Adrienne, Cambodia/Vietnam, Australia/New Zealand). One of the reviews called this a 4 star experience. I would say 5 stars. The food was exquisite. Chef Christian does not repeat any meals during the ...
We are "destination-focused" travelers, and while we have been to land trips in Europe several times, we chose this 10-nt Venice-Barcelona trip because it was going to give us an opportunity to revisit some of our favorite destinations -- Venice, Positano, Florence, the Riviera, and Barcelona. We love the size of Azamara ships -- lots of pretty places in which to relax without the overwhelming ...
We hadn't cruised in years and only on larger ships (which we didn't like), when a friend recommended Azamara. We chose this cruise for the itinerary and it didn't disappoint. Embarkation in Venice was incredibly smooth (took all of 10 minutes) and we were soon on board and enjoying lunch. We had an aft balcony cabin that was comfortable and had plenty of storage and the bathroom and shower, while ...
Thank you Mackdogmolly for the 5-Star review. We appreciate you took the time to write the review, and oh so glad you've found a new home at sea. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard....
In late 2018 we waited to find another amazing bargain on an off-season trip on Cunard from Barcelona to Southampton. Given the increased demand for cruises, this was not to be. The backup plan was to re-create the original idea for our honeymoon over 30 years ago, a transatlantic cruise. Prices were decent on Queen Mary 2 crossings and frequent flyer miles /points could be used for flights and ...
Marking off another bucket list trip (transatlantic) our RT QM2 cruise couldn't have been any better (well maybe that's a bit of a stretch as there is room to improve). 14 days of no stress, being pampered, eating, nice accommodations, entertainment and of course, more eating, is what cruising should all about. A few thoughts of our first Cunard experience (though not our first cruise, this one ...
