Miami to the Bahamas Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise after having sailed Royal Caribbean and Carnival for many years, expecting a “higher end” cruise considering the price. We paid almost triple once it was all said and done, and received half the service as other cruise lines. The good: the cabins were a tad bit nicer than some, but it was minimal. They did offer specialty dining and the steakhouse was great. The port of call ...

We selected this cruise for our first Virgin Voyage experience after a review from a friend who sailed in December. We are experienced cruisers and decided to sail as Mega Rockstars in the Gorgeous Suite. Embarkation was a little delayed but not bad. We were escorted onto the ship as the first group, which was nice. Service and communication was lacking throughout the cruise. There is a no ...

It started out a little rough as the app is how you download your appointments for dining and shows; ALL of the dining for the main restaurants (6) were booked except for 8:30-9pm slots. When we called their help line, we were told, don't worry, when you get on the ship, they will open up another 50% of the time slots; that wasn't true as when we got on the ship, the girl booking slots said ...

We were VERY skeptical when it came to booking a cruise with MSC. We had heard all about the shows being short and lacking depth, the food being substandard, and the service or lack there of being a major issue. Quite honestly our lowest expectations were for the theater shows, which really soared above the rest of the ships entertainment. The theater team has shied away from interpretive dance ...

I figured it would be nice to travel on a new ship, I was so wrong. There were over 5,000 people so the lines were so long to get on and off the ship and using the buffet was crazy as well. They used a different kind of elevators that you have to select your floor on the outside and it would tell you what elevator you have to use and most of the time it wouldn’t come for 2-5 minutes and once ...

I was looking for a fun way to spend a weekend and found a 3-day cruise with an overnight at a private island. Never being able to stay overnight nor ever on MSC before, I read a good number of reviews, got a tier loyalty recognition from MSC via RCI, the European differences were expected to be refreshing. I have no idea what the tier was to include, it said a gift but maybe my gift was the joy ...

I booked Escape purely on the sail dates and port of calls. Getting on and off ship was overwhelming. Long waits 2 hours plus. No consideration for disabled. Changed entire itinerary the day of cruise. Had to refund one of my excursions because of time conflict with new schedule. Going to guest services was always nightmare. Long lines, having people behind you receive help, when your ...

Only my 4th. trip with NCL and first (and last) on the Escape. It was rare to find soap in the restrooms in the common areas and at the entrance to the buffet and usually no towels. Food was a dissappointment...Prime Rib could not be cut with a knife, cold scrambled eggs, cold sausage and barely warm sausage gravy....big problem with keeping food at proper temperatures. Coffee in the morning was ...

My husband and I just got off the Scarlet Lady for our 6-day Riviera Maya cruise, and I wanted to share our experience because I was really surprised by a number of things. I also want to note that if you love cruising with Virgin, I don’t think you are wrong or anything. I also don’t want to come off as overly nitpick-y, but these are things I wish I had known before we booked. The ...

My wife and I had been wanting to take a Virgin Voyage cruise for a little while now. We received a nice offer from them and decided to take advantage of it. Prior to the cruise they tell you to get the app so that you can book restaurants, which is a bit of a new concept, but we obliged...for weeks, nothing was available to be booked, then when it finally populated (maybe a week or two before ...
