Went on this cruise with some friends during winter break. We were really looking forward to seeing some new ports since we had done the western Caribbean itinerary in the past. First of all, the good:
- The ship was beautiful and in great shape. Everything was very clean and neat as always with NCL.
- Food was overall very good. O'Sheehans was quick and tasty on this cruise and the main ...
My wife, adult daughter and I sailed on Royal Caribbean’s Radiance of the Sea to the Western Caribbean in January 2023. It’s no surprise to anyone who’s been around cruising that RC has been slipping in quality and service for years. Every cruise gets worse and more perks and amenities are stripped away. Frankly, we only ended up on this RC cruise because of a great price for the Owners Suite. ...
We did a 119 night World Cruise, don't know why the menu here in CC says its only 50 nights. MSC delivers a lot of bang for your buck, though not everything was perfect. But the itinerary and the dining were awesome, although strangely the famous Kaito-sushi restaurant was closed during the whole trip. The staff was excellent, I wish shore hotels would have staff as nice and attentive. The ...
Dining rooms had repetitive menus for five months, the two specialty restaurants Prime 7 & Chartreuse never changed the menus. All dining rooms were chronically understaffed which meant long waits for food to be taken and then dishes cleared. Newly hired staff had little to no idea of what exactly they were responsible for - we repeatedly waved down staff for a refill of water and wine with our ...
We really enjoy the relaxation a cruise provides and were looking forward to sailing on the Pride Of America around the Hawaiian Islands leaving Honolulu Jan 7th 2013 returning Jan 14th 2013 . We love Hawaii and have been there many times and visited all Islands, so thought why not see the islands from a Cruise ship.
However:If you want to spend the day watching the Hawaii Islands drift by ...
Excited to experience my first cruise.
Positives:
Embarkation process was smooth and fairly quick.
Loved the food. A lot of choice at the buffet. Quality of food was good too. Table clearing was so quick… the staff were on top of it.
Wait staff in the dining rooms were prompt, attentive and friendly. Loved our chef at Teppanyaki.
Enjoyed the comedy act. Enjoyed Choir of Man ...
Chose this cruise as a quick getaway with my father. The ship itself is beautiful and a testament to great ship design. It’s not the most modern ship but internally in decent shape, cabins nice and well appointed if not they do lack electrical outlets and other modern touches.
As per other reviews, boarding was an odd affair with people held I. The terminal and boarded by seat row. Terminal ...
We chose this trip because we live where it's cold and it was on sale with extra perks from prestigecruises.com. We are not exclusive on what cruise line we travel with. Our embarkation time was 1:00 but it appeared we could have come sooner. We sailed right through because I'd done everything to get us in the green line on line before the trip and our medallions had been mailed to us. Our room ...
We have done the Mexican Rivera many times, we live in AZ now so just drive over to San Diego and jump on a ship :). We have cruised many times on NCL so kind of knew the vibe just hadn't been on this one. As we had booked only 3 days before boarding we didn't have much of a choice in staterooms- ended up in an inside one- but had an amazing steward named Mark who helped keep us tidy. Bed was ...
We have done basically the same cruise 3 times. Always with Princess. This January 6-16 2023 was the third.
The food was ok at best. We tried the Concerto dining room the first couple of nights. First night - not bad and we joined another very nice couple. The second night, I felt like we were in a crowded cafeteria - the food was over cooked (prime rib) cold, underdone potato that was ...
