The ship appearance, crew attitude, pianist performance were great. The theater we visited once. There were long lines to get in.
We were not too impressed with the variety of food in the cafeteria (World cafe). They also did not extend lunch beyond 2:30 on port days, so you missed the main lunch then. The hamburger counter had to be used instead if you took an excursion.
The included ...
I chose this cruise because I wanted to escape from the cold, dreary weather before Christmas. My sister and I took this as a girls trip - we left the husbands and critters at home.
The Good: The crew on this sailing were fantastic as were the Officers. Kate Syrett, the cruise director was amazing-though a little bit over the top for my taste. Kate lead exercise classes that were well ...
I love sea days. This cruise had 20. We went to tropical paradise places I could never had dreamed possible. Viking has absolutely the best service I have ever enjoyed on a ship. Happy, friendly and exceedingly helpful staff everywhere.
Viking should not be anyone’s first cruise. You need to experience the others to really appreciate the difference. Twice a day cabin service, fresh water and ...
My husband and took this cruise November 10-December 12. We knew we had many sea days-20 I believe. In the paper that the Viking Star puts out daily, there were so many activities that a person could not do them all. We chose bridge and every day played for 2 hours. A person could also play 2 hours in the afternoon but we didn't opt for that activity. The Star, as well as the other Viking ...
We chose this cruise because BOS has not been here in Australia before only ROS,same class but different ship. We just wanted to go on a smaller ship again. It was a 10 night South Pacific cruise to in order as we went,Lifou,Luganville,Vila,Mystery Island and Noumea. We have done a few cruises into this area before.
At this time,the start of our cruise season is usually very good,but this time ...
After having cruised with P&O and Carnival I was expecting better than what was on offer from Royal Caribbean on this cruise.
The embarkation process was quick and easy. Our oceanview cabin was clean and spacious but the interior furnishings like the sofa, were tired looking and in need of upgrading. The bed was not comfortable and we had to get our room attendant to find some mattress toppers ...
First cruise post Covid. Normally I cruise regularly on both Holland America and Princess. I deliberately kept my expectations low and given the large numbers of negative comments and complaints I noted prior to departure I wasn't expecting a really great cruise....
I was very pleasantly surprised. Embarkation in Honolulu was the quickest ever.... I arrived at the pier at 11am picked up my ...
In Honolulu, we boarded a sailing that started in Vancouver – our final destination was Sydney and we spent a total of 20 days onboard. This was our first time on the Royal class ships and we found it an improvement over the older Grand class. The Royal is showing her age, but then so were a majority of its passengers (I’m in my late 60’s – I can make that joke)… Overall we found the ship easy ...
I can honestly say we had a great time, we booked the cruise as a different way in coming home to Australia from the USA, with the price of airfares these days it was a no brainer, we were told it was a repositioning cruise and were told not to expect too much, we had no expectations so thought, lets go!
We booked a rear suite, a premier drinks package with all the trimmings direct with ...
The food in Cafe Blu was horrible. I am a plant eater mostly. My choices were limited and tasteless. My husband found the meats in the Ocean View Cafe to be over cooked. I have noticed on our last 3 cruises with Celebrity that the quality of food has gone down. The entertainment has always been slow, but enjoyable. However, during this cruise the entertainment was unimaginative. I felt like the ...
