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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 took my parents for their birthday on the Norwegian Sun…they live in Florida and wanted to sail out of Miami or Ft Lauderdale. I had limited vacation time, and didn’t have many other options to book, so this cruise checked the boxes. We normally sail on Azamara or Celebrity, so we kept an open mind for NCL, knowing it might be a different product. We knew it would be an older ship, but as ...
I went on this cruise with my friends and family, and we all had a great time. Because of the big size, it was a little hard to navigate, and The waters were a bit shakey. Other than that, it was mostly smooth sailing. We had a great time, but we did have to miss a stop due to safety issues in Haiti. Perfect day in Coco cay by Royal Caribbean was one of the nicest private islands I've ever been ...
The ship was a bit dated and in big need of painting and refurbishing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was very good. The shows were lacking for sure. They had a great band Lady and the Vamps in the Ocean Plaza and a few other great musicians but that was about it. No productions or dancing. I’m just giving you the honest opinion. A few tips were added on our receipts as ...
I am Diamond with RCCL and have enjoyed many cruises with them and other Lines. My cruise with Independence of the Seas was uneventful in that everything was pretty much what I have come to expect and enjoy with RCCL. here are some thoughts:
High lights the assistant cruise director from the Philippines was hilarious and ran the game and contests in an outstanding fashion - we has a show ...
