This would be our 4th Oceania cruise. We've sailed on Marina and Riviera. We are Elite Plus on Celebrity. We have also sailed with Viking, Azamara, and Royal Caribbean. We found out that we love the small ships. Oceania always excelled in making us feel special. We rarely had problems with Oceania. then there was Vista
Embarkation was easy. We dropped off our luggage around 1:30 and parked at ...
We chose this cruise to enjoy a bit of fun in the sun with our kids, ages 10 and 12. We’ve cruised on Norwegian, Royal and Disney on cruises between 4-17 nights in the past and while this was a pleasant cruise it didn’t stand up to Royal or Disney in terms of genuine and warm customer service, food quality and options, entertainment or kids programming. There was nothing really wrong with anything ...
First off. This is our first cruise together and my first cruise period. I am writing this 9 days into our 11 day Christmas cruise.
Cabin:
We purchased a inner cabin on level 10 near the front of the ship. For what we paid, it has been pleasant. Pillows are good. Bed a bit hard. Sounds travels from nearby cabins. Bathroom is adjustable shower door for greater space in the lui. Lots ...
I selected this cruise because my wife was interested in the Carnival Magic and we both also had never been to Amber Cove. We opted in for a balcony room since it wasn’t much much more than the ocean view in pricing. We were on the 9th floor right by the elevators and the lido deck was on the 10th floor. I felt like every child in America was on this ship ! They were constantly running in the ...
We cruise every month.
GOOD - Boarding was easy. Rooms were nice, clean and ready. Hammock was great. Room attendant was excellent. Stabilizers were really good. Food was really excellent with lots of restaurants to choose from and available 24 hours a day. No tipping was great because we tip cash and service was then top notch. Leaving ship for shore excursions was easy. Excellent service at ...
We chose this cruise because it was a brand new ship with all inclusive amenities. The beginning of our cruise was not very positive due to the bath weather, rain, wind, stormy weather. As we know, the weather is not controlled by Explora Journey. But was is controlled by the ship, are added amenities, entertainment, etc. and they didn't add any extra extra curricular activities. All the ...
We had been on Regent Seven Seas Navigator before and had a great cruise. Everything was perfect, so when this cruise came up from Miami to Miami on Mariner into the Amazon, we booked the trip and looked so much forward to go. But already the first evening there was problems to go into the restaurant. They didn't have enough seat for people and we had to wait, for quite some time. It happened more ...
The summit has a great overall look, until you look closely. There were a lot of smaller issues that appeared to have been overlooked, resulting in a not so great overall experience. The food was a highlight, with great food and service in the main dinning room (Cosmopolitan Restaurant). The concierge staff, guest services staff, shop staff, and casino staff were all fantastic. The live music was ...
This ship is in desperate need of some maintenance and an upgrade. Very dated and a lot of things not working. Several people claimed of no working toilets. My lights in room weren’t working. The safe in room had a dead battery and never fixed. Dining was painful unless you were not using the free options. For the first 5 days lunch was identical and evening dinning was recycled lunch with a ...
I am writing to share my recent experience aboard the MSC Seascape, December 9 - December 16. My past encounters have led me to regard MSC as our preferred choice. However, the nature of our latest cruise has prompted me to reassess our perspective on cruising altogether.
Upon returning home yesterday, I took the time to delve into various discussions surrounding the state of cruising, and ...
