The cruise staff was very very nice. That's the only positive thing. The cruise was attended by emptying 3 or 4 retirement old folk home. Maybe, 10 people under 70 and there were many people were on walkers and wheelchairs. In addition, the very few activities were canceled when a gastro infection was taking people down. No daily lively entertainment. This cruise is for recovering from a ...
Oceania Sirena - Miami to Panama City - March 7-17 2024
This was my third cruise with Oceania. The first was the Eastern Mediterranean in 2009, the second was Northern Europe in 2012. I really enjoyed those two cruises; this one, not so much. Based on my experiences on this cruise, it's unlikely I will take a 4th cruise with Oceania.
Let's start with the good. The food was excellent. I did ...
So, this was my first cruise ever and Virgin intentionally does things differently. My take is going to be bias and not with other cruises in mind.
I traveled by myself. We went from Miami to Key West to Bimini and then back to Miami for five days/four nights. Virgin Voyages are all 18+ and no kids.
Accessibility: there were some folks using wheelchairs and assistive mobility devices and at ...
My positives of the cruise,
Galley food is amazing, having free soda machines are great. Pizza and ice cream was really good.
Cabin, bed SUCKS. The floor was more comfortable, I slept in the hammock on the balcony.
Shower is the best on any cruises I have been on.
No annoying announcements on the loud speakers all the time.
Negatives
Despite the advertisements, you HAVE to ...
My husband wanted a find a cruise in January, and this was among the few available on such a short period. Grandeur is a new ship, only four months in service, and it is all glitz and bling.
All rooms are suites, and our room was spacious, had a walk in closet, and good separation from the sitting and sleeping area. I love having a bathtub on a cruise, and the one in our bathroom ( with a ...
MSC DIVINA – 03/03/24 thru 03/10/24
When i sit down and do a review, the first thing that i always try to do is get to the bottom line – i really like the yacht club in msc and will be doing this again as soon as possible. that being said, as a company, at the customer service level pre-sailing, these folks have some serious problems that gives horrible service. i will touch on pre-sail first ...
I am a long-time cruiser with NCL, have sailed exclusively with NCL during these past 10+ years and a Latitude Platinum member. My experience has been generally positive until this recent booking on the Encore 3/3/24 to the East Caribbean.
The overall cruise was ok. The ship showed its age, nothing to write home about. The staff were not engaging and not many around. You can sit for hours ...
That cruise was choosed because of itinerary and value for money.It was right choice,everything was great for rookie.
Most impressive thing-in all ports,when we came back from shore excursion,the ship personal was waiting in the pier, offering cold wet towels and cold orange or lemon water (the days were really hot and lot of moisture).
Shore excursions (bought from MSC before embarkation) ...
We decided to try a large ship for the first time cruise. We did a river cruise some years ago and enjoyed it, but NCL truly messed up. 2 days prior to departure, NCL informs us one of our trips was canceled and the were going to hold onto the money, rather than crediting it back to my credit card. Had to speak to them for an hour to get the refund.
Some weeks prior to leaving, our ...
Seven night cruise on 3/2/24 aboard ICON of the Seas. The ship is beautiful, and our cabin was an accessible cabin with plenty of room for my mobility scooter to turn around. The bed is closest to the bathroom, with the sofa by the sliding glass door. See video. Although there are automatic door openers to enter the room and the bathroom, the sliding glass door is manual and is difficult to ...
