New York (Manhattan) to Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

Love cruising out of New York City. We are not loyal to any one cruise line and have cruised over 17 times. We booked an Inside cabin and was upgraded to a Balcony as our Inside room was next to a utility room that was very noisy during the evening hours. The staff was wonderful about addressing this problem. We received a tray of chocolates for the inconvenience also. The rooms were both ...

My husband and I booked this cruise over a year ago, particularly excited about the Prima being a new innovative, slightly smaller ship, bucking the current bigger-is-better trend in cruise ship builds. A transatlantic cruise would be a first for us, as well as our first visit to Iceland, including 3 ports - a day each in Akureyri, Isafjordur and an overnight in Reykjavik. Perhaps the biggest deal ...

A repositioning cruise to Iceland really had us excited. We like and sail Norwegian more than the competition but we have enjoyed them all. It was a real plus to sail on the newest ship in the fleet. We were concerned about some of the unflattering reviews we saw, but we kept an open mind about it. I am just comparing this experience to the 25 +/- other cruises we have been on. Here is what ...

Im just writing this to confirm everything said by terminallyconfused01. My biggest complaints were. 1.Swimming pool was not heated for 12 of the 14 days of the cruise. When it was finally heated on day 12 it was very pleasant for swimming in. 2. 2 of the 4 main hot tubs around the pool were colder than the other two. All seemed very cold during the atlantic crossing but this may have ...

The cruise overall was wonderful. The food, booze, staff and service are the best! We didn’t go to the entertainment very often but heard that the shows were good. We did go to see Terry Bishop who I totally enjoyed. He is a fabulous storyteller and a wonderful musician!! I’m really writing this review for others that might want to book cabin 948. I have to say the cabin is extremely noisey at ...

This was our 34th cruise and several of them have been crossings on the Queen Mary 2. We chose this crossing to get us to Europe for an extended stay. There were no surprises, pleasant or otherwise. Overall we were pleased. Some positives: Embarkation was smooth and efficient. Maybe Cunard has solved some of the problems that used to plague Brooklyn departures. The ship is in excellent ...

There are no bells and whistles like water slides or skating rinks on the QM2. But there is ball room dancing with a live band every evening, a show every night in the large theater, a jazz trio in the bar, piano players in the lounges, and an oldies band in the late night club. Definitely an older crowd. But there is a full children's area and teen lounge, both well supervised. Even the only ...

Once again we had a wonderful relaxing cruise on QM2. Have been on it many times.The embarkation in New York went very Smoothly for us. (we are diamond members) there were long lines for other people to enter the ship, felt sorry for them, heard many complaints.The ship is quite old, if you look for 'Luxury" it's not there , but still very nice. we were on the 12th deck with a balcony-club ...

Would we go again on Cunard's Queen Elizabeth ? Absolutely. This was a late July east-bound transatlantic cruise with stops in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Iceland, Scotland, Dublin and finally Southampton. We were generally blessed with fine weather and calm seas; there was some movement on the north Atlantic but not enough to bother most people. Try to get your stateroom as close to the middle of ...

We had meetings in Belfast, and wanted to experience the QM2, as we had the privilege of being aboard the final voyage of the QE2, from Southampton to Dubai, and love Cunard. So, with our son and daughter-in-law, all in Queen's Grill really spacious cabins, enjoyed the Cunard service.!!! The crossing was utterly smooth. The food was unbeatable. The service was over the top. The lectures were ...
