This was our 14th NCL cruise, and we have cruised on several other lines, river and ocean. With NCL, the gem class was our favorite class. We had tried the larger ships, Epic, and Breakaway, but preferred the smaller ones, but mainly chose the itinerary. Our Nov cruise, we went back and forth between the Star itinerary and the Viva's. After reading some reviews about the Prima, we were leaning ...
We are Princess regulars. We wanted to sail the Mediterranean, and this time period worked for us. The food, service and entertainment were exceptional. No problems. Mini suite. Deck 11 of 16. Mid ship. Movie under the stars. Stage shows of Las Vegas quality. This ship is newer than other Princess ships we have sailed. Furniture, decor, floors, and walls were fresh, showing little wear and tear. ...
Selected itinerary for the ports and ability to spend a few days in Rome. Embarkation was the BEST, easiest, fastest we've ever experienced. We were boarded and eating lunch in MDR a full hour before our check in time.
For a ship going into dry dock, we did experience any maintenance related issues or ration shortages. There was no visible work being done in the areas where we walked. May have ...
We wanted to experience a few days in Rome before boarding the ship for our trip back to Miami. Ezplorer is one of our favorite ships. Perfect size and great service. Our favorite cruise director, Hello Clo and our favorite head waiter, Gianni were there to greet us when we boarded. We took early dining and had the best waiter and assistant waiter. Artha and Ayu--married from Bali. The lecture ...
Loved the Transatlantic experience on Odyssey! This was our first TA and it was better than expected. This ship has so many different venues so we had plenty to do with 5 consecutive sea days. The first night was a little bumpy but after that smooth sailing. Really enjoyed the seminars in 260, playmakers to watch NFL football, fabulous shows/ acrobatics, slot pulls, and all the countries visited. ...
My wife chose this cruise mainly due to our starting and stopping in Rome {Civitavecchia}, so we spent a few days in Rome after the 10-day adventure. Starting off with a late embarkation due to serious plumbing issues on deck 8, we had a nice first day at sea but arrived late to our first port, Santorini. Taking the cable car was the best way to make the most of an excursion that only lasted a few ...
We previously cruised with Holland America, Princess, and Carnaval. We chose this cruise for the interesting ports and for the food experience. We did Oceania tours at every port and were happy with all. They were well organized and very informative. Embarkation was easy, as long as one did the online preparation. We were on board by 11:30 am on embarkation day and had lunch on the Terrace ...
We just returned from 10 days on the Riviera, and we had an amazing time! This was our second cruise with Oceania, having sailed on the Marina last year. We found every member of the crew to be so friendly, helpful, and professional. We were always greeted with a smile. My husband and I definitely felt spoiled by exceptional service from everyone we encountered, from our cabin steward to wait ...
Always wanted to see Italy, Greece, and love to cruise! Beautiful ship, friendly staff and guests from all over the world! We were pampered, entertained , delightful restaurants, smooth sailings d fun excursions!
We found the private deck and hot tub! We love the salad options! We had a wonderful Cod sandwich at the Wave for lunch! Always a table ready for us to dine! Our butler took good care ...
This was such a great cruise.
The ship is beautiful. I particularly liked Eden and the slightly spooky, magical corridor on the way to Eden, but there are lovely spaces all over the ship.
I liked the infinite veranda a lot. It was so nice to walk into the cabin to that floor-to-ceiling view every time. We spent a lot of time sitting in the veranda space with the window down (tip: put one of ...
