NOT AS EXPECTED FROM A LUXURY CRUISE LINE

Review for a Australia & New Zealand Cruise on Azamara Journey

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

Firstly let me say this, if you are above 70 you may enjoy this cruise. I must say boarding was a simple quick process even though we were not informed of our boarding time prior so we just arrived around 1 pm and once onboard we were not informed that lunch was available at the buffet so therefore we missed out. The food is very bland and servings are very small ( nursing home size ). We had ...

Went on this cruise for my late honeymoon with my wife. Service and staff was generally amazing, the team keeping the ship clean and serving the food in the Brittania restaurant were top notch. Afternoon tea was wonderful we went almost every day, and the gala nights were really nice. It's wonderful to still have cruise lines that keep things classy. The food that we got was great and tasted ...

I'm not normally someone to complain and I generally try to approach things with empathy but I was so disappointed by this cruise. First of all, we booked my parents (aged 65-70) an accessibility room which was not at all accessible. The cruise line refused any type of compensation even though one of the staff suggested they fight for it. At 6'5 My father couldn't even fit on the bed and my ...

I always tell people to take reviews with a grain of salt - some people are just complainers ... and some see everything with rose-colored glasses. But when the same complaints come up again and again, do not ignore the warnings. The negative comments regarding this ship - are accurate. 1. Noordam is OLD, tired, and worn out. It deserves a major overhaul. Not only is the furniture, art, ...

We are in our mid 50s, have done 6 cruises with 5 carriers and this was the worse. Electric wheelchairs, walking frames, everywhere. The average age group is 70+. They love not leaving their rooms or the ship for 2 weeks so it suits them. The ship is too small (550 People) so is limited to going into small destination ports only as it can’t cope with over 1.5mtr (4ft waves) in places like ...

Does HAL Noordam dumb down Down Under?

Couple 60s, 26 cruises with various cruiselines worldwide. This 10/12/23 cruise was our 3rd HAL cruise and our first since mid 2019. Previously we cruised on the old Statendam and in 2019, Maasdam. Both were excellent, entertaining, enriching, educational overall fabulous cruises. We had such high hopes for returning to HAL on the Noordam December 10 2023 round trip Sydney-NZ-Sydney cruise. ...

As an elite member I have never been so disappointed. The food was awful. One day I was almost in tears because of the menu on the buffet, being gluten free I had very little options. I understand the MDR is much better option but if order a meal the day before sometimes I just don't get there. Case in point I ordered GF fish and chips for pub lunch but completely slept through it. ...

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We chose this cruise to go on holiday with a family of 11 since we travelled on board the Royal princess in 2015 for my brother's wedding on board. We travelled on Princess Majestic to Sydney and New Zealand in 2018 and it was brilliant - 5 out of 5. However, it appears since Princess have sold out to Holland American Lines from Cunard they want to a) charge you for everything that ...

This is our 3rd time on a cruiseship, 1st time on this one. The waiters and bar staff were amazing, got on better with them than the passengers. Food was good, Cabin was ok, we asked for an Oceanview and got a porthole, a big deal breaker for me was no access to do laundry or ironing, you had to pay to have your laundry done and was very expensive especially being from NZ and everything was in ...

10+ Cruises • Age 80s

This was the sixth cruise my wife and I have taken on board Arcadia. Prior cruises have been very rewarding and enjoyable. Sadly, that appears to have ended. Food was appalling, including the main dining room. Meat was of low quality and the fish was invariably died out. The main course never once looked appetizing and consequently the dinner plates were returned to the waiters with only ...
