Not what I was expecting

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on AmaPrima

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

I chose this cruise line mostly because of the reviews I had read here and the cruise center I went to for information said they were excellent. The first step onto the ship I knew it wasn't for me. I didn't feel the warmth, the welcome or the excitement I had experienced on the ocean cruises. That being said we did put down a deposit for another cruise with Amawaterways within the next ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

We chose this cruise as an introduction to the world of cruising. The actual onboard experience was great and the scenery when moving was wonderful. The ship, staff and food were exceptional. We wished we had booked longer and a larger cabin. The bathroom was amazing as was the bed but all just a bit cramped for us. However, the whole experience is very much created with the American tourist ...

We had a cancelled flight to contend with. Although booked through Viking Air (and they did know about the cancellation) they offered no help. We were on our own. We arrived on the cruiser at 2pm - not a good start. They don't tell you that other cruises moor alongside. It happened three times in our trip - not good. They don't tell you that you cruise more at night than during he day. If ...

We received outstanding service in the dining room....personalized. friendly, caring staff. Our cabin was comfortable and clean. However, we had some complaints about this cruise; *One of the included shore excursions was a ballet performance. I was excited when I found out we had box seats...but that excitement faded when my husband had to STAND FOR THE WHOLE SHOW...because he could ...

Very all inclusive but a disappointment

We chose this cruise because Scenic had reputation for being very high end and truly all inclusive. It lived up to the all inclusive. The trip actually sailed on July 17, 2017. We were supposed to sail on the Jade but due to low water levels this ship was substituted. The ship was tired looking and needed a refresh. The carpet in our cabin was frayed and coming up. The gourmet food was anything ...

Poor experience for what should have been a dream vacation

Review for a North America River Cruise on American Queen

We chose this Cruise based upon our satisfaction with the Columbia River Cruise we took last year. The service was superior as was the whole crew. They were all veryfriendly. So we decided to book another cruise with AQ with the main purpose of goingto Paducah Kentucky to see the Quilt Museum. We were disappointed with the other ports of call as there was not much to do and very little to see, ...

Just OK, really a cruise for seniors

Review for a U.S.A. Cruise on American West (formerly Queen of the West)

I am 62 years old and went with my 89 year-old mother who is still very mobile. Parts of the cruise were interesting and others not. First of all, let me tell you that the accommodations were very nice. Unfortunately, we didn't pay for a balcony and so we were on the basement floor where many of the entertainers have their rooms and it can be noisy at night. We could hear the toilets flushing ...

A Nice Small Cruise Ship (98 passengers) But OVERPRICED!

Review for a U.S.A. Cruise on American Star

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

This was my first cruise on a small ship. The cruise itself was the 7 night New England Island Cruise. The ship was fine and the food was very good but that's a given. They offer a complementary happy hour each evening and complementary alcoholic beverages at lunch and dinner. This ship does not have stabilizers and one morning we spent 4 hours really rocking and rolling. Many passengers and ...

A blend of very good with extremely disappointing

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Emerald Sky

Frequent sea cruisers but had never tried a river journey before and the Danube seemed a good place to start. I spoke with our usual very helpful Agent with a specific company in mind and she recommended Emerald as a better all round option. What they did well: Transfers, Shore Excursions, House Keeping. Breakfast buffet. All hands on deck for a non scheduled disembarkation due to all the ...

This is part three of a three ship cruise that was supposed to be all on one boat from Bucharest to Amsterdam. Yet one more pack and unpack event in order to change boats again. The GOOD: once again, housekeeping deserves five stars and is the only department that performed admirably. The Program Director was also very good and also deserves five stars. The BAD:. The food was just okay. I ...
