We picked this Cruise because was going in most Ports we have not been to. Price was good and we really wanted to celebrate bringing in the NEW YEAR in a way we have never done before. ThePanama Canal tour and ferry Ride was such a historic thing to see. Our favorite place to be on ship was in the Explorer Lounge, The bar attendants were GREAT, on the spot with making sure you had your drink and ...
We choose this cruise because of its destinations. Panama Canal, Cartagena, Costa Rica, Grand Turk, Jamaica. I will applaud them for there covid enhancements, people wore their masks and everyone was respectful of this and of spacing.
We were disappointed that the ship although clean and kept up it is a bit outdated. The activities were mediocre to boring. Understandably, with Covid ...
We booked this cruise pre pandemic and waited 2 years for it. We did not believe it would go ahead until the day before departure as everything was so uncertain. I am so glad we did not move it again as we had a wonderful time. One port was altered due to Germany shutting down but we were very happy with the replacement port of Stavanger, Norway. The other port visited was Zeebrugge where we took ...
This particular cruise was on my bucket list for a long time. I'm quite particular when it comes to cruising, because I think it can be a little too regimented for my taste, but going through the canal was something best experienced on a cruise ship.
There are certain issues that come up with all travel that are simply not in control of Princess. In this circumstance, we were delayed boarding ...
We chose this cruise because it met our needs from a schedule perspective. We spent Christmas with family and wanted to cruise over New Years. The boarding process was simple and rapid, essentially present your identification, proof of full vaccination, proof of Covid testing negative results within the preceding two days, and boarding pass and your crossing the gangway. The cabin (a SB class ...
We went on this cruise so that we could see the Panama Canal. Overall, I guess it was a good cruise. The captain and leadership staff was not nearly as informative of situations and concerns on the ship as in other cruises taken during Covid times. 4 hour delay from leaving Ft. Lauderdale (no reason provided or announcement made). 4 hour delay leaving Panama (no reason provided or announcement ...
We choose this cruise because our country (the Netherlands) were in lockdown and the Canary Island not. And because we had heard that Azamara has a high standard of cruising. And indeed they have. We were pampered all the way with an excellent service, very good food, a cozy atmosphere and easy contacts with fellow passengers.
We were lucky to have only 231 passengers on board (instead of the ...
I chose a Norwegian cruise mainly for the thermal spa area. The cruise was a rowdy one. The quiet zone was not enforced at all. The larger issue for me was the staff not enforcing the wearing of masks. In the buffet was the only time staff actually told people to put on masks. I got up once to get a spoon and was reminded to go back and get my mask. In the spa, the Atrium, the theater, and ...
We were previously on the B2B of the previous two 10-night sailings - see below for the comprehensive reviews. My husband and I were full of holiday cheer and craft cocktails when I looked at the forecast at home, considered how much fun we’d had on the previous two sailings, and threw caution to the wind, booking this voyage while onboard. While we wanted sun and fun, let’s be clear - it was ...
About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged man who sailed on the Norwegian Getaway New Year’s cruise from December 27, 2021 to January 5, 2022. Of note, this was the last cruise before the ship paused service in January 2022 due to COVID issues among the crew. This was my 49th overall cruise and my 28th with Norwegian Cruise Line. I bid on and won an upgrade to a club balcony (mini) suite. This ship ...
