My wife and I have sailed on 4 cruises to various places. We have sailed on Royal Carribean and Norwegian. The most recent was on Princess to Alaska. The boarding experience was lacking. Very long line and not very organized. We told the person to use the main credit card for the secondary passenger, but apparently that did not happen, so we were called back down to guest services during the ...
Here is a synopsis of our cruise...
1- New England clam chowder was VERY liquid. Chef never had it before in the US or he would have been embarrassed.
2- No offer of port wine, though I am drinking a bottle of wine. The waiter didn’t know his customers.
3- Shorts allowed at Alizar for dinner? Why did we spend money on new clothes?
4- Just way too loud and out of control… it was like ...
we choose this cruise as a way to explore mediterranean ports italy , france , greece and malta. ship was full capacity excursions were not well organized with a lot of delays late starts traffic , congestion at boat transfer . it took literally hours to get to transfers on tenders and busses . time spent on each excursion was cut short because of an early ship departure . very disappointed of the ...
We booked Aqua class, as had done several times before. Not worth it, and for much less, you get almost the same in other categories, like Veranda or Concierge.
Blu restaurant was always full, had to wait 15-20 minutes every evening, no matter what time we arrived. Breakfast is available between 7.30 and 9. Good but very slow. Seems they are short on personnel. Menu not as good as it used to ...
As a first time cruiser from South Africa, our family did the European cruise which was absolutely amazing from the ports we stopped at and being on the ship as a family. We enjoyed our time together although we were shocked at all the additional service fees charged from mandatory daily service fees (on top of an all inclusive package) as well as purchasing anything onboard e.g. a coke is ...
I am writing ths review to make any potential future guests aware of Regent SS Navigator and our miserable experience with the vibrations and noise which we experienced everyday in Suite at the rear of the ship which on some days was so bad that all of the wall and ceiling the panels where all shaking / rattling due to excessive vibration which totally ruined our first Regent seven seas cruise ...
We (3 couples) chose this cruise for the canada/new england/fall foliage itinerary. The norweigen pearl is in great shape and the stateroom was comfortable and adequately served (once per day.) service on board was very good, a friendly and helpful staff by and large. Meals in the main dining room were very good, as was the specialty restaurant, la cucina. I didn't enjoy the teppanyaki dining: ...
I am surprised by how bad the food is and the ship is dirty. The staff are good but seemed to be trained not to give bigger than a child serving for the Buffett. The prime rib a few nights ago turned out to be a few bites of beef. They cut such small bite size pieces I felt bad for the carver. Awful. Just ruined a good prime rib why bother?? This will be my last cruise on Carnival. I really used ...
My husband and I just returned from the Silver Whisper in Japan. A little background, we have over 25 cruises under our belts including 5 since Covid ended, this cruise being our 6th post-Covid. We have cruised Seabourn, Oceania, Viking, Azamara, and suites on Royal, NCL, and Celebrity as well as regular rooms on Princess and Royal.
The Great
The food quality and preparation were excellent ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and because we had a great time on our last Celebrity cruise a few years back. This time around was a different experience. We arrived to our room and the floor had not been vacuumed. A large hairball was on the floor, a piece of used soap was stuck to the tissue box. We found a used razor on a shelf. Old fruit loops were under the bed, and there was a ...
