I can't say enough words about how great our 30-day B2B cruise to South America was, which included 4 days cruising around the Antarctica Peninsula as well as visiting the huge Iceberg A23a and Elephant Island. We were fortunate enough to have booked an aft-facing Vista Suite with the weather fully cooperating, where we didn't miss one port due to rough seas or high winds. We of course dined ...
I choose this cruise because of its itinerary, but boy what a disappointment!
From embarkation to disembarkation it was a total disaster.
Cancelled ports of call, total disorganisation of everything from the muster station was closed because of refuelling when we were being called to report there! luggage arriving at 11.30pm at night ( we were lucky, many passengers had handed their luggage ...
This was our first cruise with NCL and will certainly be our last, the cruise company are the fawlty towers of cruises, but not funny., Where to begin. Before the cruise even started they changed the ports of call we would no longer be visting East Africa which was one of the highlights of the trip. No option to cancel and get a refund. This also meant an extra day at sea. Fast forward to ...
Visa Services: told to get a Chinese visa by Holland at a cost of $1000; ship offered them for free while underway. Guest Services barely apologized and offered no compensation. Excursions: over half the guides didn't speak English well enough to answer questions or give commentary, visited sites were repetitive and boring. It was clear Holland had done no quality control on their excursions or ...
Most disorganised and chaotic cruise we have ever been on. It was a disaster from start to finish. The boarding process was a disaster, hundreds of passengers were kept queuing in the sun with 40 Oc temperatures. We had to drag our luggage as they were not taken off us on arrival. Ports of call were abandoned and many days at sea added. In Richards bay the ship moored in a cold yard covering the ...
We are experienced and mature cruising couple who choose our cruises based on the location and ports we want to visit, and we like to get away from the Scottish winter to get some heat and sunshine. Of the options available to visit Southern Africa and Madagascar, the NCL cruise offered the best variety of locations on what looked like an exciting itinerary. We had only cruised with NCL once ...
Having had a wonderful cruise previously with NCL we booked another cruise. Service and food were excellent and all members of staff went out of their way to be helpful, once we had embarked.
Embarkation was a total shambles, exacerbated by failing to assist my husband, a disabled passenger. We had booked special assistance but this was denied. Passengers in the higher class of accommodation ...
I booked Costa Serena Cruise from Malaysia (Port Klang - Penang - Phuket), travelled on 19-22 Jan 2024 and I felt this was the worst cruise experience ever. I paid USD1000 plus (premium balcony) for 2 pax. RC and Genting Cruise rooms facilities are far better. Costa rooms lack toiletries, with only soap and pulp body shower gel (syampoo/body gel all in) available, a small bathroom, no coffee ...
My Wife, Son and I along with another couple wanted a winter cruise for a good price and easy port to access. Adventure had an 8 day cruise out of Port Canaveral so we jumped on it. We had cruised on Adventure before and loved the ship. We are Diamond plus members and have only cruised on RCCL ships. We flew to Orlando the day before and shuttled to Cocoa Beach and spent the night. A quick Uber ...
We had a good time and got to see and go places that we haven't been to yet. Going through the Panama Canal was the highlight of the trip, but we enjoyed all of the ports.
The ship was nice and the more mature crowd was what we were looking for. The food was good and the selections from the menu were nice. The various specialty restaurants were all nice, as well.
Generally, the service was ...
