"Cruise" dates: Apr 5, 2124 - Apr 13, 2024 Normandy to Paris, "Impressions of the Seine"
Ships: AmaLyra and AmaDante
Be aware that climate change is causing unusual extremes in the water levels of the Seine. Thus, we never got the "Scenic River Cruise" experience, instead being tied at anchor first in Le Havre then at Paris. All we got were bus rides ("Ama Busways"?). And we ...
Terrible! This is not my first cruise and this experience was terrible. All of the staff were rude, the food was terrible and they closed things like the bbq place, the burger place and some of the bars very early (about 6pm). I have never had such an experience. My elderly mother was in the buffet at breakfast and told an employee that they were out of coffee and he said “go somewhere else.” The ...
Left Miami on Friday and back on Monday. Stopped in Key West and Nassau. Embarkation was fast and smooth. We did not bring much luggage so we carried on our bags. On the ship 10 minutes after arriving for our 11:30am checkin. First impressions were how clean and well maintained the ship was and staff were there to answer any questions. Dropped bags in state room which was being cleaned and this ...
I have done several cruises on very large and luxurious ships, as well as on small and very simple ships. I took the risk of doing the cruise with MSC on the weekend of April 12 to April 15, 2024 and I was a little skeptical that I would have a good time;...but what a great surprise I found, it has been one of my best experiences traveling on a cruise. The service and attention was excellent, much ...
Ok, first time giving a review but wanted people to know not to believe all the bad reviews for MSC.We have cruised more than 35 times on almost every cruise line. We decided to try our luck with MSC because of the price expecting the worst. What a surprise - turned out to be one of our best cruises! Embarking & disembark-super fast and easy- staff were great food was pretty darn good- dining ...
This was my first platinum cruise the perks were great. I read reviews on this ship prior and took it with a grain of salt. This is my review . I do not like to complain i work in customer service and the whole world is short handed ,but this was the worst cruise i ever cruised on.carnival needs to step it up!! i have been on freedom in the past. Bars by the pool during spring break always ...
This was my first experience on a cruise.
Unfortunately, we booked 3 excursions ahead of time that were offered on the website and all 3 were cancelled. Last minute we booked a excursion to the blue lagoon and I felt like I was robbed because it was expensive, then we should have depart at 10:30 from the deck, we arrived at almost noon and have to come back at 3:15pm. That was a wast of money ...
Not a fan of inside cabins, wanted to try one with a window that overlooks the Promenade. Hubby is claustrophobic so invited sister to experience this cruise with me. The cabin did have limited space but with the window it made the cabin seem somewhat larger. Still do not think it would work for my husband though as he is spoiled by balcony cabins. We kept the window curtains opened during the ...
Cruise is terrible. Expect to pay way more once on the cruise. Absolutely nothing included. So u pay fortune for a cruise just to be nickle and dimed the whole cruise. Says has 4 pools but really there's 2 and never open both at same time. Overcrowded is an understatement. 80$ a day for family of for cleaning fees added to your bill. Food was terrible same thing everyday. Everything closes at like ...
Japan and busan were delightful, but this boat is a bore! most of the entertainment has been soloists - a juggler, a magician, a pianist, a harmonica player - and this is in the main theater! the ship is small and there aren't many options provided. the same two violinists, one pianist and a small band rotating around doing the same songs over and over. the food has been unimpressive. some ...
