Tradewind Voyages Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise Reviews

Having read the 2 negative reviews of Golden Horizon, I feel that it is important to submit a positive review as the cruise was simply fantastic. This was the inaugural cruise for Golden Horizon with paying passengers, and they did themselves proud. Embarkation - all completed within about 20 minutes of arriving (after the covid test on the dock). Met on board by very friendly staff who took us ...

When I read the only other (terrible) review of this Cruise I thought the reviewer was exaggerating the bad points, but having been on this ship for 4 days now I can only endorse everything that has already been said. First, the good points - the crew are lovely, very friendly and keep the ship very clean and tidy. And er…… that’s it. Everything else is a disaster. Embarkation - chaos. ...

This was the first trip with passengers for the world’s largest and newest sailing ship, a 5 masted luxury ship. It is beautiful to look at and we’ll appointed, but has no lifts, some staircases are spiral and quite narrow. Some features such as the marina deck which drops down at the rear were not operating. Food was well prepared, although on the first couple of nights plates were cold! ...

We actually sailed out of Portland not Portsmouth and it was the Dress Rehearsal Cruise for six nights. The ship is brand new and lovely as were the staff. The main problem was that neither were anywhere near ready for paying passengers. There was so much wrong its difficult to know where to start. 1. Food and Drink - probably one of the main reasons people cruise on high end cruise lines is ...
