We enjoyed the itinerary and cabin, but had a lot of issues on this ship compared with our last cruise, which was on Princess. A few issues
- Last minute update to a shore excursion that led us to cancel it (self driving tour- would have to share a car with strangers given group size of 2 - should have been included in description)
- Food in main dining room was very hit or miss. Buffett ...
People choose a cruise based on the itinerary and based on ship accommodations. In both cases, Princess let us down. We signed up for a 7 day Alaskan cruise which was supposed to have 4 stops. One was in Victoria Canada, the day before we disembarked. We knew it was an evening stop 7-11pm. There were a few excursions worth doing. But two months before our sail date we were told they wouldn't ...
I chose this cruise due to what seemed like a great price without the 100% single supplement that Princess usually charges. My cruise was 14 nights in duration, not 7 nights, so leaving Vancouver and returning home at the end.
My criticisms are mostly to do with all of the hassles prior to the cruise, plus of course the unilateral policy changes after I had already bought my ticket. It seems as ...
We were excited to be on Zuiderdam on Aug 26, from Boston up to Quebec city. While the ship was nice and in good shape for being a few years old, it was the service and our cabin that disappointed us.
Pros:
- ship was in good shape.
- Our inside cabin was roomy for 4.
- good communication and service once we got quarantined in our inside cabin half way through the cruise (not ...
We traveled with Seabourn 4 times in past. This was our first post Covid trip.
Beautiful interiors. Took their highest level veranda on the 8th floor . Small room. Impossible shelving cabinet that left little room in front of bed. Tiny shower, large bath that was quite deep and was difficult to use.
House staff worked very hard. Restaurant staff not trained. Requesting water was a big ...
I traveled with a group of four on the Millenium going southbound from Seward. We traveled northbound on Holland America and we were all excited because Celebrity is (was) our favorite cruise line. Boarding was super easy and I was so happy with how everyone greeted us. After a week on the ship we feel that the food was pretty tired (limited choices and lacking of taste). We used to have three ...
I have been on a total of five cruises, this is the third cruise on Carnival. I enjoyed all the other cruises except for this one. Areas of the ship smelled musty moldy. Some of other areas smelled like sewer. The clientele was less than desirable. The one worker at customer service was condescending. Our cabin was on the end which was a nice room. There were workers banging and clanging and ...
This was supposed to be one of the cruises of a lifetime. Anything but. Been on NCL many times previously but this was the first cruise since covid. Very disappointing, to say the least. Everything had been cut back. The food quality was way down. I was told that there was a challenge sourcing food. What was served was terrible. They need to hire new staff and get quality control people on board. ...
My husband, son, and I embarked on this cruise to celebrate a number of milestones in our family. We opted to upgrade our room (deck 9, forward facing balcony) and take advantage of all that offered, which, in the end, was a mix of good and bad.
I had anxiety about taking a cruise during Covid (yes, it does still exist; all 3 of us contracted it). For what we paid, we really don't feel like ...
The ports were the selling point. The ship was overcrowded large lines and not able to get into see shows. Food at best was fair. No seating poolside and kept winding up on Deck 16 again very crowded only 6 umbrellas for hundreds of people. Push was for speciality resturants not main dining or cafeteria. I will never cruises NCL line. Our balcony had paint chips flying off when we sat outside ...
