The cruise rocked the entire time and the tender to great stirrup cay also sucked because it rocked as well the food on the boat was okay nothing special though the only good thing that I ate was at osheehans and that was the wrangler burger and the wings but even then that kind of sucked everything closed super early and the adult only zone only allowed kids in and if the kids didn't go in then ...
I really wanted to enjoy a trip to 4 different places, 3 of which I had never been to before: Bahamas, Dominican Republic, US Virgin Islands, and British Virgin Islands. I thought the cruise would be the perfect getaway, allowing me to visit new lands and enjoy pristine beach time, relax and enjoy the sun. Well.... The cruise was extremely boring. Yes, it should be relaxing, but if you have an ...
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 ...
This ship was chosen as part of a Casinos at Sea offer - All previous cruises have been on Royal Caribbean.
Biggest disappointment was only one pool available for the majority of guests. Pool decks were extremely crowded. No personal space on pool decks. Loungers were side by side.
Only other options were hot/lukewarm tubs - which in temperatures > 80 degrees - not enticing and also ...
I traveled with my sister on a 7 night balcony room with MSC. I have cruised many times, 1st time on MSC.
Embarkation-went well. We were scheduled for 1pm and were on by noon. Uber dropped offed across the street form the west entrance. Small line but it moved quickly. We did leave 2 hours late but they may have been waiting on some people to come in on flights. They did bust my luggage up but ...
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 ...
I really enjoyed this style of cruising. We have tried many of the cruise lines and have narrowed down to two lines, this being one. This felt more like a resort than a cruise ship.
Embark/disembark = easy! Basically walked on and off without stopping or waiting in lines. We did fill out the docs on the app ahead of boarding, so just had to show the passport.
Spa = couldn’t make these ...
We booked with Carnival for my sister’s 30th birthday. It was my first time on a cruise and I loved it! The food was amazing, the room was spacious and clean, and there was never a dull moment with so much to do on the ship. However, what captured my loyalty was the service from all of the staff. Every crew member I encountered was pleasant, polite, and helpful. I would like to thank my cabin ...
Let me list the ways: 1)Embarkation: staterooms not "released" for occupancy until almost 3pm after we had endured a "red eye" flight across the country arranged by NCL, waited almost an hour for NCL transfer to ship, and had to kill 3 hours on ship with carry on luggage 2)Cabin had hair (not ours) in shower, on bath floor and on shower curtain when we checked in 3)cabins cleaned once a day I can ...
The crew were wonderful: happy, friendly, accommodating, helpful. The food was quite good. The ship: not so much.
Norwegian Sky is a smaller ship which we prefer. It did not feel crowded. Waiting, if any, was minimal. The ship was well maintained. It was the layout and utilization which wasn't so great. And the decor was pretty bland.
The casino opened out into the Atrium on Deck 7, ...
