This was our second cruise with Oceania, although we are frequent cruisers. This cruise did not disappoint.
The staff were excellent, extremely friendly yet professional. It is lovely when they remember your name and I marvel at their ability to learn new names every few weeks!
The ship was spotlessly clean and had plenty of seating and pool chairs all the time so there was no sense of ...
Looking for a three-fer: Machu Picchu, Panama Canal, and Chichen Itza, BUT
1. Turmoil in Peru - no Pre cruise visits
2. Canal - cool; bucket list, but poor excursions
3. Railroad repairs blocking roads, no Big Mayan event.
1 of 3 done.
Cabin and floor crew - outstanding - 10 floor
Dining - good specialties, fair grand dining room; Terrace - just no.
Food availability limited - ...
I can't even begin to start, the captain is a terrible driver we were on the 9th floor and we felt the ship moving so bad that the whole family got sick the food is extra and the buffet food is the same every day we couldn't even play bingo correctly without people yelling about the numbers and it was rigged to drop down from 5000 to 500 dollars no one ever wins the 5000$ I suggest if your gonna ...
We chose this cruise because of the itinerary to the Amazon and because we had been on a fantastic cruise on the Regent Explorer last fall. There was no comparison between the 2 experiences and we brought another couple with us on the Voyager after telling them how great Regent is! The cabins & public spaces on the Voyager need to be completely redone but really I think Regent should just sell ...
It is hard to compared cruise companies, especially if the itineraries are quite different, but it seems that comparisons between SilverSeas and Regent Seven Seas makes sense. They are both considered Ultra Luxury. We have sailed several times on Silver Seas and have been quite happy. We chose Regent for this trip because of time and itinerary. Relative to SilverSeas, Regent was as or somewhat ...
One week cruise from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janiero. The worst thing that happened on this cruise is as soon as we entered Brazilian waters, NCL added a 25% tax on every beverage in our so-called free beverage package. When we booked this cruise, we were not told that this would happen. That is quite an expense since 5 of our 7 days on this ship were in Brazil. NCL should of had the courtesy to ...
I took cruises back to back from Buenos Aires to Rio and from Rio to Barcelona on the NCL Star. I am Sapphire and have taken 17 cruises already with NCL. These cruises were definitively the worst I have taken with NVL so far. Why?
1 Cabin cleaning was restricted to once a day, but the tips were increased to 20 USD per day.
2 Food Quality is coming down every cruise. NewYork stake is not ...
We took this cruise for the South America itinerary (Buenos Aires to Valparaiso). It has been several years since we have been on a Celebrity cruise. All in all, we had a wonderful trip.
There were some negatives. The ship is tired and needs a lot of maintenance. When we arrived in our balcony stateroom, there was a light bulb burned out, a broken drawer in the closet and the safe would not ...
This was a bucket list trip for me. We embarked in Buenos Aires and took it all the way to Los Angeles, around Cape Horn. The scenery around Cape Horn is truly spectacular. The cruise was 32 days.
Even though my wife and I are in our early 70s, I think we were probably younger than the average passenger on the ship. There was one family that had two children. If there were other children ...

On March 30, 2022, we booked Princess cruise tour H304/ 19 days – from 1/30 to 2/20/2023 includes flight times, for (Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile). Following is our personal experience with Princess. We choose Princess since we have journeyed with them before, with happy experience. This time it was unpleasant experience, and I rate them “C”.
Our reasons are ...
