Our family cruise over the festive season had had to be cancelled three times because of the tragic pandemic. The cruise was probably the last occasion we could get our immediate family of three generations together for an extended vacation so there was much excitement when we finally set foot on board after all the disappointments over the previous three years.
We nevertheless approached ...
Before I left I read the reviews. The reviews were awful. How the food was horrible. How everything was just horrible. 2 out of 5 stars. I thought oh my what did I do booking this cruise. I went in with low expectations.
At the very start of the cruise I noticed the service. It was excellent. Our Room steward was great. He worked so hard. Bar staff always ready and waiting to take ...
We booked the Ruby Princess for a partial transit of the Panama Canal. I've did a full transit through the old locks eight or so years ago. For my friend it was a bucket list item. Seeing the new locks appealed to me. We are both in are 70s. We booked a mini suite-Reserve with the Plus option. Our room steward was pleasant and efficient, and the cabin was clean. I miss the evening chocolate on ...
Having taken numerous cruises, including recent sailings on Virgin, Holland America, and Princess, I can say my 5-night Celebrity Equinox cruise stands out as one of my most enjoyable recent experiences. While some aspects like dining have changed since my last Celebrity cruise in 2012, the line still delivers excellent service, entertainment, and ship maintenance. Celebrity strikes a fine balance ...
Wanted a pre holiday mayhem trip and this fit the bill. Ship was 100% booked, but didn't really feel like it. We were in ov deck 3 fwd..
Our fav spot for a cabin..guest service, main atrium & a bar all 10 or so doors away..oh & fwd elevators handy as well.
Food was good in main drm. We did the steak house & it was fine w better service than main drm. Buffer was really well laid out and had ...
Went on this cruise pre-Christmas 2023. Found a great price on a Concierge class cabin. We've been cruising since 1988 and are both around 60 years old. I drink, but my spouse does not.
CONS: The ship is older, but headed for dry dock in a few months. Rust was apparent outside our balcony but did not cause any concern. Some public area seating needs to be renovated. Be sure to note if ...
Based on this fun cruise experience that was our "short test drive" of RCCL, we will keep with our plan to sail with RCCL again summer of 2024 for a long cruise with no hesitation.
I was getting worried reading reviews going into this cruise (our first with RCCL, but we have done 10+ with other cruise lines), but I've come to the conclusion that some reviewers either fail to do research and ...
We are seasoned cruisers and our 3rd time with MSC. Yes this ship is an older ship, but kept in near perfect shape. No there isn't a lot of activities that you'll find on the newer mega ships, but for the price, we felt it was an outstanding value.
There are so many food options, I can't believe how negative the food reviews are. No this isn't a five star restaurant, but a nice deluxe balcony ...
We selected this cruise to take my MIL for an outing and as she has mobility issues, we needed a nearby port (LA is ~5 hours) that we could drive to. We compared pricing, cabin locations, and timing across Princess, Carnival and RC and the Navigator won out. Also, it has been about ten years since we have cruised on RC and we have a 15-day transatlantic coming up in April so this was a good ...
I travelled from Melbourne with my Mother on a 5 night cruise to Hobart, Tasmania. We really enjoyed our time on board this cruise. Cunard's Queen Elizabeth is in very good condition and is a beautiful, well appointed ship.
Embarkation was exceptionally smooth and I think we were onboard in less than 15 minutes.
We had originally booked a Brittannia Club Stateroom on Deck 8, but I bid for ...
