DW and I have been on dozens of cruises over the past 40+ years and now that we are retired and blessed to afford more luxury travel options, we have started trying out the luxury cruise lines starting with Seabourn. We booked the Quest transatlantic crossing from Miami to Las Palmas sailing on March 24. We booked with our preferred travel agent into a Verandah Suite and in December we accepted ...
This ship isn't meant for any bad weather. You feel EVERY wave and they often miss ports due to the inability to stabilize. Also, there are no adult only hot tubs so you better love sitting with kids packed in and splashing. The shows weren't worth the time. The comedian just complained about his ex wife at both shows. The swimming with pigs was terrible. Expect to walk several miles to get to ...
We're not among those that are habitual cruisers. At 62, we've probably been on 15 in our lifetime. We like the convenience once in a while and just the ease of travel and leisurely feel. Have been on Cunard, RC, and Celebrity. This is our 2nd with Norwegian (first was right before pandemic in Hawaii). While I'd say the lines overall are similar, Norwegian is probably my least favorite. ...
This was my first solo cruise and my first MSC cruise and I had a wonderful, relaxing 5 days! I chose this ship because it fit in my schedule of only being able to sail Monday thru Friday, and because I found a fantastic price. I booked the Bella package and included drinks, internet and some onboard credit. It was well worth the price!
I was assigned an inside cabin on deck 12 forward. A nice ...
Just got off the beautiful MSC Magnifica! I will admit I was skeptical to sail with MSC based on the reviews I had read from others… but I was very pleased to say the least.

My first time with MSC cruiseline. I went with my husband and 2 kids. I have to say it was very fantastic. I stayed in balcony suite and enjoyed Aurea experience with access to spa and my choice dining experience at Quatro restaurant was the best. I have to shout out to Neelish(waiter) and his assistant waiter Anam @Quatro restaurant. They were always serving us with the smile and their kindness ...
Ship is older and fewer amenities but in good shape. Smoking infiltrated all of us anytime we were near a smoking area or the casino. Why is any cruise line catering to the .5% of people who smoke to the detriment of the other 99.5%?
The buffet food was horrible. Industrialize food, no variety, missing basic stuff e.g. croutons on salad bar). Dinner in the MDR was much better.

I was worried as this ship is the smallest and oldest of Rroyal Caribbeans fleet but I was greatly surprised!! The staff was supper attentive and friendly, the boat wasn't crowded at all there was always available pool chairs available, and the food was absolutely delicious I was obsessed and gained a few pounds for sure LOL. We loved our dinner staff Yogi and Iputu! Yogi did some magic tricks for ...
We sailed on the Pearl since it hosted a musical cruise we were interested in.
Our balcony cabin on the 9th deck was clean and the bed was comfortable but several maintenance issues were very apparent. We noticed torn wallpaper near where a coat hook had been installed and a light fixture looked liked it had been bounced around a bit and could have used a replacement with something that wasn’t ...
This is my 4th cruise on Grandeur of the Seas and I look forward to sailing on her again very soon. The ship has a spacious feel and her interior is very clean and well maintained by a loving, friendly crew. The March 18th sailing was her last before her scheduled drydock in Freeport. While talking with the crew many of her refurbishment details were unknown however I am assuming in addition to ...
