First off relax and understand the ship isn’t just what the TV commercial depict. It’s not some over the top wild college party but instead it’s just a really good time with people of all ages and backgrounds. Food overall very good, wouldn’t quite say great. Drinks excellent and don’t mind the bar tab idea. Entertainment is excellent, live music entertainment was great, the shows are great, and ...
We picked this cruise because of price and timing, and we had cruised on this ship when it arrive in the USA the first time.
We wanted to see if it was still as pretty as it was in 2012 and as fast and quite and it was. engine and ride is so smooth sometimes you don't know you are moving. Entertainment costumes were great on main stage, women singers out performed the men, they might need to ...
Virgin Voyages was very nice. The cabins are much larger than other cruise ships I been on, yet the beds are hard and not comfortable. I like the many food options and you have to be very open minded with some of their unique cuisine. The shows are nice, if you can get a reservation for it because space is limited. Also, you have to make reservations for dinner well in advance of your cruise if ...
We have sailed on other cruise lines and so this was our first NCL Cruise. The ship overall is good. We were surprised that it was so nice. I believe that it was in the dry dock recently for two weeks for a quick refurb. Getting on the ship was quick. We arrived early at the port for an 11:30 check-in and were eating in the cafe by 11:20. Our rooms were ready by noon. Fastest I have ever ...
The embarkation process was smooth and seamless as we arrived at 10am. No issues at check-in, no lines, and no hiccups getting bags through scanning.
The entrance into the Royal Promenade is very grand and the space is VERY long and wide. The ceiling can light up and participate in entertainment which is a very cool feature.
We stayed in an outside balcony cabin (12th floor), which felt ...
The Sirena is one of 4 small ships owned by the upmarket Oceania Cruises. The selling features are its small size, under 700 passengers, no crowds, lines, and children.
The officers, staff and crew could not have been nicer.
I was impressed by Carson Turner, a super - talented cruise director… a really affable guy who is also a talented singer and performer. Actually, the entire ...
TL;DR Our extended family of 13 (ages 2-77) took a five night cruise 12/28/23-1/2/24 on Independence of the Seas. Overall, we found the ship to be fun, the crew to be friendly and helpful, and dining to be adequate. Shows were good, (with one exception), and there always seemed to be something for most of us to do. Our biggest complaint would be issues with the release of information prior ...
I chose this cruise because of Splashaway Bay for my 7 year old and because the ship was going to CoCo Cay. This review is about some very specific items and excursion options.
1. Soda package. Pros: The cups are nice and we'll be able to continue using them at home. Discovered Peach Fanta! Easily the best Fanta now. And many options available. Cons: In retrospect, not worth the $10 a day. We ...
After previously sailing on the Symphony of the Seas, I thought this was going to be a let down for the family but we were pleasantly surprised. Although smaller in size and less things to do, we still enjoyed ourselves. The service and friendliness of the staff throughout the entire ship was top notch.
With a family of 5, we booked a junior suite and an interior room. Being an older ship, the ...
We love Virgin, it's sense of fun and adult playfulness is right in the pocket for us!
The food just keeps getting better and better! We had never eaten at Gumbae before and it was a winner! A tad loud in there with everyone playing a drinking game before dinner but we loved it. We also ate at Pink Agave ( the duck is insanely good), Extra Virgin (The Giant Gnocchi- wow!) 2 times at Test ...
