Loved the smaller ship the Elation. Wasn’t. Crowded at all and hardly any lines for food etc and was told it was at capacity. Perfect time of year also because children are in school. Jacksonville port was smaller and easy to navigate and you park right beside the ship. Half Moon Cay was the first stop and was the perfect low key beach day. Nassau was the second stop and was nice to see and had ...
Ship was in better shape than I anticipated considering its age. The housekeeper service was fantastic. Every time I left the room with my daughter she would clean and organize everything in no time. I gave her a good tip. Bars sometimes get too crowded and the bartenders can't put up with the flow. Managers should move bartenders around to meet guests needs and expectations. Food is good. The ...
This was our 3rd cruise and second with Oceania. Our first cruise was to French Polynesia on Regatta and was cut short due to the Covid outbreak. Despite this setback, we were very impressed and pleased with everything, especially the food and based on this experience, booked our most recent cruise with Oceania again. This most recent cruise was again on Regatta. A 16 day voyage visiting ports in ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted a cruise longer than 7 days. We enjoy sea days and this one gave us 5 glorious days to relax. Embarkation was a mess as far as dropping off luggage, they appeared to only have 5 or 6 guys collecting luggage. Once we dropped our bags the rest was a breeze, basically walked through security and onboard.
Our cabin was in a great location, we chose the Lido ...
For the first time we were in a suite . Corfu midship. Beautiful stateroom ….great big bathroom! We loved it! Business class at sea! Breakfast in Sabatinis was a treat . The staff there were fantastic. Even sang Happy Birthday to my husband with a candle in a muffin!
Dinners at night were very good …the lamb dishes especially.
There were not enough sea days to enjoy the ship! Ports were ...
The first time I booked this cruise 2 years ago it was canceled. This time the cruise went but the itinerary was suddenly changed. People from remote parts of the world had a long journey to Argentina mostly to see Antarctica, but instead of 2 full days in Antarctica, we had only 2 hours and saw 2 islands from a distance. It was a big disappointment for many of us. As we understood the only reason ...
Overall I loved this ship and the stops. This was my first cruise so I have nothing to base it of but I'm mostly satisfied.
The ship is absolutely beautiful and elegant throughout most of it, the rooms are a bit dated but still cozy and comfortable. The beds were alright , nothing to write home about but the pillows were good. I do wish they came with fans in each room it was bloody warm in ...
We have been on about 15-20 cruises in our lifetime. We’ve traveled on Carnival, Celebrity, RCCL, Norwegian and now MSC. We are in our late sixties, married 35 years, live in So. Fla and cruised mostly to the Bahamas, Caribbean & Mexico as it’s the best vacation value w/out dealing with air travel. Port of Miami & Ft Laud have all the cruises you want right in our backyard. We don’t mind spending ...
We had a few vacation days to use up and decided to book a last minute cruise to Key West and Cay Bay. We had extremely low expectations based on some of the reviews and were pleasantly surprised. The ship was clean, the staff was pleasant, the entertainment was great, and the food was fine - not great, but fine. We’re looking forward to another cruise on MSC in the future.
The lines at the ...
This was the second time on the Norwegian Dawn. First time was not a long time ago, in July 2023, cruise to the UK/Ireland and Scotland. The worst cruise ever! But as we were so dissatisfied of this cruise, we received money back and a voucher of 25% for next cruise. As this cruise to SouthAfrica is very expensive, it was a great moment to use the money and voucher. And fortunately, the flights ...
