very poor (virtually none) entertainment, no communication from NCL regarding change of Port itinerary to Malaga Embarking passengers on the 14th, from Cadiz, to Gibraltar, on the 1st day, Long queues, at the desks i.e destination, credit desk, and guest services. Cancelling Destination trips, leaving very little options available to book, after boarding.
The policy seams to have change from ...
We chose this as our bucket list cruise around the world. First the two items that were positive about this cruise:
1.The cabin stewards and the personnel in the Horizon Cafe were terrific when it came to service
2.The Horizon Cafe Buffet had a great selection of food which was well prepared and had a tremendous variety.
Unfortunately those are the only god things I can report about this ...
A World Cruise (WC) was on my bucket list and Princess is our preferred Cruise Line (4 of us). This was NOT a cruise I would repeat nor recommend. The Island Princess is old and needs A LOT of repairs - rust, mildew, mold, water leaks, cabin entry doors not opening and more. All major safety issues - I worked in Transportation Safety for over 20 years and Island is NOT a safe ship unless it has ...
We have been on P&O many times but this was the worst experience that we have ever had on a cruise. It was made worse by there being no cabin available for us on arrival. Our cabin was already occupied when we tried to enter it and so we had to hang around reception for hours whilst another cabin was found. Not a great start. I had booked a deluxe balcony cabin and was expecting a little luxury. ...
We booked our World Cruise while on Antartica cruise 2020 on the Coral Princess. We had such a good time we decided to book the World Cruise 2021. The cruise was pushed to 2023 due to covid. Island Princess was rusty from the day we boarded Jan05. The entire ship was rusty. The sea witch logo was crying rust tears. The menu in the dining for 111 days never changed. We never had a hot meal. The ...
We chose this cruise because it was seven nights and days in the sun. It was also to celebrate my birthday on New Years Eve. As we had sailed on Azura before we were familiar with the ship.
We had requested a table for 8 for New Years Eve. We were given a table for two in a dark corner at the back of the ship. P&O were informed that this was a special birthday. No acknowledgment whatsoever. ...
There was so much that went wrong it would take too long to write but in brief, no vaccination checks at departure, ship full of cold/cough/covid with no extra precautions or cleansing/sanitizing, Cunard blatantly lied about dry dock fiasco, propeller was in Cadiz on previous cruise where an attempt to replace was unsuccessful, they knew before we boarded, Lisbon would be cancelled confirmed by ...
Though our flight was on time, Norwegian's schedule got us to the Sun after check in had closed and not long before sailing. We were taken to guest services to sign medical forms and be given room cards, then left: no advice on finding our cabin, where there might still be food served, or anything else. The harassed young guest services lady moved on to the next arrival. We noticed then that there ...
After settling into our suite on December 9th we decided to go to a bar for a drink, we were a little surprised to find the only draught available was Fosters or Peroni, but as this was poolside, we thought little more of it. Later we visited Brodies Bar where the Bar Fittings showed the availability on draught of Marston’s Pedigree, Shipyard American Pale, John Smith’s Smooth, Fosters Lager, ...
We sailed on this ship before covid and it was fine,however the ship has gone downhill fast.
Bad bits
No cruise director
No orchestra
Stage shows poor
Lack of maintenance obvious with common areas tired and cabins clean but need a refresh,
The buffet is too small and the food is probably better in prison as for breakfast they have floating scrambled eggs , brown stuff they say ...
