This is our third cruise on the Quest. It is quite worrying taking your Covid test before being allowed to board - luckily from arrival to being on the ship took 35 minutes and went very smoothly.
It was so nice to be back on board after 3 years. As usual all the staff were very friendly and efficient and make the whole cruise experience very special. We were cruising the Caribbean for the next ...
First time to La Paz and Loreto for us. Enjoyed both ports. Bus ride from dock to town in La Paz was longer than anticipated. Loreto is a tender port. Short tender ride. Nice town. Cabo is Cabo. Food not so good. Many street vendors. Enjoyed Slims Elbow Room(worlds smallest bar) until the 4 capacity bar filled up to 10 people. Ship is a little old and outdated. Needs renovation. Thought it would ...
Tavo from Cabo should be the entertainment director not the asst. Director. This is what irritates me about human resource departments and their jaded decisions! Mario, George, Giuseppe, and Fransico great restaurant managers all 10 days went above and beyond! Alix FD manager on cruise should be rewarded by Princess as an elite performer of service!
Fransico and Eusepio great waiters! oh yea, ...
Firstly, our itinerary was changed prior to embarkation causing some minor hassle but in these times we had to go with it.
Check-in at the fantastic new NCL terminal in Miami is breathtaking, unfortunately, the check-in staff was not very well informed regarding Latitudes embarkation.
Once onboard we headed straight for the pool deck for a cocktail, we were greeted by very abrupt, rude ...
I needed a post COVID break. The cruise was not full which made the ratio of staff to customers just a equal.
There were not the usual variety and number of shows and this ship lacks the smaller piano bars.
The ship was especially clean and the crew were so happy to have us on board.
The food service for my special diet was exceptional.
I had a balcony cabin and enjoyed the addition ...
My wife and I sailed on NCL Getaway out of Miami 2/2/22. There are tons information about the ports and excursions so I am going to focus on something else. Service! (good or poor) can make an average cruise great or leave a bad feeling about the entire experience. We booked a room in the Haven (yes it’s worth the extra cost) the two bedroom villa # 16112. The two bedroom suite has two bathrooms ...
I guess I should begin by saying that we have been to Miami a couple of times and noticed a remarked difference in attitude from staff at hotels. I should really advise of a small con when you book a taxi to the Cruise Port. We did this twice (we were on the Joy following the Getaway) and the same thing happened on both occasions from different hotels. Instead of a taxi arriving a massive black ...
We have cruised with Norwegian in the past and have been very satisfied (the Pearl). The dining options are always good as is the food. I really like the specialty restaurants, but my husband likes the buffet, so you can't lose.
The staff is always wonderful. We were pleased with the COVID protocol and safety measures. They were always busy cleaning.
We were less than impressed with ...
This was my first cruise and I'm indifferent if it will be my last one or not. The boarding process was fairly simple and we were upgraded to a balcony room, which might be because not that many people were on the cruise, but regardless that was a nice surprise since we originally booked a room with just a window.
Food:
This was probably the worst part of the whole cruise. The dining room ...
First time for me on Carnival. Wife's second. Long time cruisers over 25 total. Sitmar, Princess many. Oceania Norwegian, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean many. After reading some not so good reviews on Miracle and my past readings about Carnival in general I didn't expect much on this Cruise. It was a 5 day LA Cabo round trip. The price was cheaper than flying to Cabo so why not. All I can say is that ...
