The ambience of the ship was excellent. Service, entertainment, activities during the day all outstanding. We upgraded to a suite which was well worth it. Our butler was first rate. Enjoyed the lectures, the photo classes, and the golf clinics. Food was fine in the Main dining room but the real stars were the Japanese restaurant and Taste for dinner. Not to be missed. No casino which was fine ...
Dear Steve26460,
Thank you for choosing to sail with Crystal! We are very pleased to read about all the extraordinary amenities, services, and activities you enjoyed onboard. At Crystal we...
I just took a cruise on Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico and it was BY FAR the worst cruise I have ever been on. First and most disappointing, Catalina Island was basically closed. They said once on the island that it wasn’t season so there was basically nothing to do once you got there besides rent golf carts and ride the same route for an hour. There ...
This was our 69th cruise but only second on Holland America.
The ship was nice but not as elegant or as well laid out as Celebrity Solstice and Edge class ships - which we love. We picked this cruise for the itinerary and the time of the year it was sailing.
Our most enjoyable meal was in the Pinnacle which we ate at twice. The service in there was top notch too. The dining room food was ...
This was a fabulous cruise. The ship was clean, comfortable and most importantly the food was outstanding! The staff were all helpful and friendly and no matter how stressed they were happy ( and sometimes singing)! It was about 5 days out and 5 days back strictly at sea. We found it relaxing but not seeing land or another ship that entire time could be somewhat daunting. The life boats were state ...
We joined the Sojourn in LA and disembarked in Taipei at the end of the second segment of the World Cruise 72 days later. Our last trip on the Sojourn had been the last two segments of the 2023 World Cruise from the Seychelles to Barcelona, and we now have about 200 days with Seabourn. We rated the 2023 voyage overall a 9.5/10. This years we would rate an 8.5+ to 9/10, still excellent. Why lower? ...
We are Long time Holland American Cruisers that took this cruise with Princess due to the timing and destination.
Room: This obstructed view is fine from the view standpoint, it is at the top of the stairs from the promenade, but that was not an issue. The first 4 rooms on this deck including this one are narrower than other rooms and also have the really annoying feature of having two ...
This has our 17th cruise (not all with Princess) so we are not new to cruise ships. This was the worst cruise of all and we will not be sailing with Princess again. Sorry Princess but your services on the cruise have ruined it for us. The first day, we went on the ship tour and went up to the Lotus Spa. I asked about using the sauna/steam room and was told by the female attendant the there would ...
My wife and I chose this cruise to share with my brother and his wife. They had only been on one cruise before and not on Holland America. My brother and I are very avid music lovers and my ,brother’s wife is as well. My wife also enjoys music but is not as much.
We all agreed that the ship was beautiful, the cabins first rate, everything was clean, and the crew extremely friendly and ...
I have been cruising with Carnival for the last 15 years and had good experiences with them up until 2024. We did the 15 day Hawaii cruise and were highly disappointed.
Food and Service on the Carnival Miracle was subpar at best and the ship had many things out of service like ice makers throughout the ships drink stations. We noticed that there was far less crew in the MDR and at the bars. ...
Hadn’t been on HAL since 2004 but had six prior cruises under my belt starting in 1995- all of which I had really enjoyed. This cruise was easy driving distance from home and Costco travel had a great deal for a balcony with HIA included, which is how we chose it. In the last six years, have cruised on Celebrity and Cunard- and based on the price point and the market positioning, expected ...
