We have traveled with Norwegian Cruise Line in the past and truly enjoyed it all. My NCL reservations representative is wonderful too. We chose this ship’s itinerary since our first option to travel with NCL Epic out of Barcelona was cancelled to do ship updates. Needless to say, they should update Breakaway too. Commodes did not flush properly, no automated door openings so touchy touchy, no ...
Wow! We spent a fortune sailing in the Yacht Club. Expected it to be like Norwegian Haven or Celebrity Retreat. The service was excellent in the YC but the entertainment and staff outside of Yacht Club is horrible. I honestly think they dislike Americans (but love our $$). Worst entertainment of any cruise line I have traveled and we have been on over 40 cruises. Boring Sea days-no ...
Just returned from this 10 day of Italy, Turkey and Greek Islands. Celebrity is very service oriented and this cruise did not disappoint. Staff were fantastic. We choose the Aqua Class and enjoyed the Blu restaurant for 9 of our evenings. Staff ate the best. Deni, Yuken, Chad, Marly are the absolute best. Appreciated the cleanliness of ship. Only downside is the age and wear of ship. Rooms are in ...
Destinations offered and time that fit with my husbands work schedule. We have usually sailed with Royal but it was not available for our schedule. We had no idea that a cruise could be so bad.
The food was horrible. We started ordering based on what we thought would disappoint us the least. Left our steak on our plate the first three times then stopped ordering all beef.
Everything was ...
I have been on several cruises before with P and O, and Royal Caribbean.
Overall -
There were a few good aspects, but I would not sail on the Azura again. It felt like a cut-down, budget experience and totally lacked any imagination or flair. Apart from our evening waiter (who was brilliant), the staff seemed bored, overworked and did not put any effort into making the holiday a special ...
After 3 cruises with Celebrity, we decided to “upgrade “ for my wife’s birthday. While the cruise was ok, there was nothing inspiring about it. The embarkation process out of Venice was a disaster due to a lack of communication. The Venice cruise port is currently not allowing ships to dock there…ships now dock in Fusina. However, passengers must check in and drop luggage off at the Venice port ...
First cruise with MSC and specifically chose it to try the Yacht Club. We were not disappointed and really enjoyed the experience and perks associated with this class.
The main thing to point out and this is something everyone says but it's true, is the crew are amazing. Every single one of them work incredibly hard and always have a smile and a friendly greeting no matter how busy they are. ...
My husband and I have traveled a lot, but never cruised. We weren't interested in large ships, so our first cruise was on the Wind Surf in May, 2023, Italy and Croatia. In spite of very bad luck with the weather, we loved the experience and are already planning our next Windstar trip. The ship is older and shows signs of wear if you look for it, but that didn't bother us a bit...we loved the ...
First a general word of caution: Seabourn have announced that they will focus on their expedition business, and they have started selling off their ocean going ships one at a time. The Odyssey has already been sold to leave Seabourn in August 2024. My wife and I sailed on Seabourn Legend a few months before it was handed over to Windstar in 2015. All experienced staff had left the ship and ...
Overall, I would give the cruise about a 4.8. The things that bothered me didn't warrant much of a negative review, so I wouldn't knock the cruise down too much. As for the negative things - I signed up for the cruise about a year early and didn't realize Azamara was going through changes and a new website/computer system set up, etc, and I signed up for all of the excursions at the beginning ...
