We chose this cruise because it was a special gift for one of our daughters. She wanted to see penguins :) and we wanted to go to Antarctica. Well we did not get the chance to step on the continent, but it was an amazing trip full of new adventures.
We were in a two bed suite.. I would say the only downside of the room was the creaking :) ( the ship is getting renovated in '24). our room ...
We chose Celebrity thinking we would get a better experience and more refined than we have on RYC (which have been great on the 3 cruses we have taken with them).
I was quite disappointed to be honest, the ship was tired with worn out carpet, rust visible on the outside of the ship and generally not the experience we were sold. Most of the staff were great and tried to make up for the tired ...
We had always wanted to do a Cape Horn cruise as it is one of the classic voyages. We were 2 couples. Coming out of Covid, the incentives were fantastic with free drinks, tips and (slow) wifi.
Embarkation from Valparaiso was a gong show as I believe ours was the first ship departing for Celebrity from that port in about 3 years. Lots of grumbling in the very long line and many of the staff ...
NCL STAR Cruise Chile to Argentina – 1st Jan 2023
The below is a personal view of the above cruise and all comments are a view from the writer.
Getting to the port.
The departure of the above cruise was on the 1st Jan 2023 from San Antonio Chile. As such no public transport is available on a bank holiday, so booking private shuttles are the only way to get to the port say from Santiago. ...
We chose this cruise because we loved the itinerary...so exciting to sail around the bottom of South America!
The Star is in excellent condition thanks to the crew's constant upkeep. It seemed as though we saw painters working every single time we were walking around. The food was excellent with a wide variety to choose from; food service was excellent as well.
The onboard entertainment ...
We chose this cruise to visit and learn about a part of world we’ve never been to. In this aspect, the cruise fulfilled our expectations. We were fortunate in that weather co operated with us and our trip around Cape was quite smooth and we only missed one port due to stormy weather…Puerto Madyrn
Our concerns about cruise are with NCL…we knew we had many sea days and we had 1 added but in ...
This cruise was part of a tour thru Holiday Vacations. Having taken several cruises with NCL pre-Covid, we were ready to have an amazing experience similar to those in the past. What a disappointment.
We purchased the Free at Sea package which included Wi-Fi. At best, the Wi-Fi worked 25% of the time. In order to use the NCL app, which they promote heavily, you needed Wi-Fi. So ...
The Celebrity Infinity is 21 years old and it looks it. The decor, carpets and furnishing are dated and tired in appearance.
We had a sky suite which one invisions a large spacious suite, it is not spacious or luxurious. The closet dorrs were broken and cracked loudly every time you opened them. As the doors would not close, the closet light was always on, so at night we had to push two chairs ...
My wife and I travelled from Lima, Peru to Miami on Silver Moon Dec 2022 to Jan 2023. Good food, comfort and ship atmosphere are important.
Have sailed many times with Princess and lately many times with Seabourn; now our favorite.
Cabin
We had a deluxe balcony suite which is about 8 inches narrower than the comparable Seabourn suite. The Silver Moon (SM) suite is not as practically or as ...
I loved the itinerary of going from Buenos Aires to Santiago, around the Horn. This was also over Christmas and New Years. They did a good job of having the Christmas spirit and did celebrate New Years in a grand way. Captain gets a 5 star along with Manuel, Crew Director. Housekeeping and Servers a 5 star. But the food was ordinary or a bit tasteless. Food and desserts looked good but food ...
