We chose a short cruise to see if we enjoyed it. Overall, it was a fun voyage, but we had consistent issues with staff, most notably the person traiging dinner guests on deck 3 on all 3 nights of our cruise. This individual was apathetic at best and openly hostile and antagonistic at his worst, and marred what otherwise would have been a lovely anniversary dinner. Royal Caribbean did not respond ...
The ship is magnificent, although the recent refurbishment in 2023 didn't reach all the staterooms( not allowed to call them cabins), the carpet in our room was badly stained. When contemplating a cruise with Cunard get everything in writing, we spent 3 hours on the phone between NZ and Australia with the Cunard agent and decided to upgrade our stateroom to a room with an un-interrupted view, on ...
Like the title says, overall this was a decent winter getaway. The ship was sold out which meant elevators were sometimes crowded, and the pool decks were almost always crowded but luckily not a huge amount of chair hogs. People were definitely camping out though.
We booked this cruise and travelled with 3 other couples. All of us were booked in regular oceanview cabins (1 couple booked an ...
This trip aboard Liberty of the Seas was my fifth time cruising with Royal. I have always enjoyed cruises, but there were several improvement opportunities this time. First was the main dining room for our traditional 7:45 seating. We were at our table for over an hour the first night before we received our appetizers. Our dinner took over 2 hours to get all our courses. We thought it was because ...
First cruise with Norwegian. We’ve taken 3 others on Celebrity & Carnival. There were some good things about the cruise but many others that left us thinking it was just an average experience.
Tot seems to depend on what you want. For kids maybe a good ship. If you like many nicer dining experiences maybe a good choice. If you like the loud pool scene they offer that.
For us those aren’t ...
I am a Platinum cruiser with Carnival and have always enjoyed each and every cruise, there have been many. One of the many enjoyments is the Lido Buffet. This was my first SUNSHINE cruise, and I was disappointed. The ship is old. I always get a balcony room and noticed the rooms are smaller, and if you don't mind standing on the toilet to close the bathroom door than you'll have no problems. The ...
We traveled with six adults and two toddlers. We were rather disappointed in the food on the entire cruise, with the exception of the specialty restaurants.
- Coffee in Truffle dining room not hot (dinner)
- What happened to tablecloths in dining room?
- A server used to come with a bread basket to choose bread we like. This time they came with all the same bread and gave one ...
This was my seventh cruise and my fifth NCL cruise. We had a balcony room near the back of the boat on the 11th floor. The room was quiet and the room and balcony are exactly what I had expected of a newer large NCL or RCI ship,
I've always discounted reviews of others when they posted negative reviews of food. I'm not a particularly 'foodie' type person. I will clarify my thoughts by saying ...
We chose this cruise to see the variety of beauty available in the different Hawaiian Islands. The islands are beautiful and cruising is a great way to get to each one saving time and hassle by not dealing with airports so our main objective was accomplished.
I have sailed on Norwegian Cruises before so I had some expectations of what I would be getting for my money. However, some advice I ...
We have cruised over 23 times in 43 years, often selecting Royal Caribbean because we had been so pleased with our previous experiences. Well, maybe we are just cruised out but our last cruise on the Vision out of Baltimore was at best, mediocre. The food in the Windjammer was less in selection, too many highly spiced dishes, and often cold or Luke warm. The main dining room just seemed to ...
