Disappointed Overall

Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Disney Wonder

Let me start of by saying I LOVE Disney and all that it entails. That said, my family was overall disappointed with the cruise. We were a group of 20, and the cruise line did great putting us all in the same area and accommodating us at the rotating dinners. We experienced one major issue that was not rectified. The theater below deck six plays movies late into the night. I mean a 10:45 pm ...

NCL San Diego to Mexican Riveria April 2023

We took this cruise the week of April 16, 2023 and although we did have a good time, it was not because of anything NCL did. We had Priority Boarding and found the staff in San Diego to be very unhelpful. There was no process for explaining or assisting with Priority Boarding which we paid extra for. Seemed like it was simply a charge without any service. My wife asked a NCL representative how we ...

We had heard awesome things about Disney Cruise so I booked it last week. We sailed from San Diego to Cabo and back. I've been on many cruises in the past so this was not my first rodeo. It took a very long time to go inside the ship. Lots of waiting around as they wanted us to get in groups vs walking into the ship. The ship itself because it's small, rocked alot. We couldn't sleep first ...

I've gone on Carnival, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean. Norwegian has the best dining with Specialty Restaurants but other than that it's a very boring ship. Too many children running around unattended, hot tubs full of children. Comedy night was 18+ but people bought their children so the comedian talked about oral sex and masterbation as I sat there with children around. Left there and went to ...

I’m trying to write this while everything from this cruise is fresh in my mind (we returned yesterday). This is a review of a Norwegian Cruise Lines week-long cruise to Mexico from San Diego and is fairly lengthy. If you want to skip the details, the conclusion is that my wife and I have been contentedly cruising on Celebrity for a number of years. We will be skipping NCL in the future in favor ...

I'll start with the highs: We enjoy the Jewel's size-not too big, not too small. The staff were all great, as usual. We enjoyed the shows. We ate mostly at specialty dining for dinner, and we liked them all, especially Cagney's. In Ensenada, we walked to the fish market and had some great fish tacos. In Cabo, we took a ship's shore excursion to the Casa Dorado Beach Resort and it was great. ...

Review for a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Zaandam

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

I went on Oosterdam 2019 and had a fun trip but unfortunately the Zaandam did not come close. The ship was full of walkers and disabled vehicles, the ship was dirty and food mediocre. The ocean deck pool was empty and closed for the first 3 days, entertainment was awful and the ship VERY boring. I opted for an ocean view that was stuffy and very dated and had not been updated since ship was made. ...

I took this trip with three girlfriends and had a great time. While the ship is older and our bathroom had orange and pink tiles, the rest of the ship was fine. We enjoyed the trivia each night! The lido pool was packed with folks who reserved chairs and left…..oh and kids doing cannonballs in the pool. Meals were wonderful and the spa was excellent. We were able to get two massages and a ...

First Disney Cruise was Great Fun

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

We choose this cruise because of the convenience of the port of San Diego for our 1st cruise on the Disney Cruise Line. Previously we have only cruised one other time on the NCL Pride of America in Hawaii, many years ago. This sailing we sailed without children. We drove over from the Phoenix area on Saturday, the day before the cruise, and started vacation with a visit with friends. We picked ...

We are Disney fans and have only cruised once before, 18 years ago, on the Disney Wonder on a three-night itinerary in the Bahamas. This was our return to cruising. The Port of San Diego is within driving distance for us so not having airfare costs was helpful. My husband and I are in our mid-fifties and we were traveling with our adult son who is in his mid-twenties. We booked a guaranteed ...
