The only thing that saved this cruise was the eclipse. This was my third cruise with HAL in three years 2 were on the Eurodam and then this one. I loved my other 2 cruises but this one really soured me on cruising.
Confusing info: We received an email about boarding times which had people instructed to board at 3pm which was all aboard time. It was revised to 2:30. I’m sure this contributed to ...
Cabin- we had a nice balcony along with lots of space. 5 stars for that.
Food- main dinning room was not good, at all. Whole wheat pasta for kids, is that a joke? Nope. No Caesar salad on dinner menus. No buffet at night either. Room service is available 24/7 though. We had the late dining at 8:15 pm, terrible. Kids were tired. Dinner service was awful, we appeared to be the last ones there ...
Cruise #6 with RCI since 2012. Cost cutting to pay the $11B in pandemic bond debt has really hurt the experience. Food quality and options have declined. Service is hit or miss, with MDR and Windjammer service noticeably worse. Nickel and Diming ($20-ing and $40-ing) for things that aren't worth paying for (e.g. $35 for the escape room, $2 to play skee ball for 30 seconds) -- even the teenagers ...
We are avid travellers and have been on numerous cruises including many with Oceania.
Here's an overview of our most recent cruise with Oceania on the ship Regatta.
The food is very good when it comes to your table hot. There were a few times in the dining room when the food was luke warm and we were served food on plates and bowls that were chipped or damaged. The buffet food is hit or ...
We were on the Regatta from Australia to New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa x 2 and French Polynesia. My feedback is as follows:
1. Staff - very friendly and generally eager to please. However, tend to be a number who lack training, so service is variable.
2. Cabins - please don't pretend they are state rooms, it insults the passengers! Generally basic, but good enough, but shower area is tiny. Bigger ...
The ship is one of the older ones, I believe it was built in 2002. The outside shows the age, but has been updated very nicely inside. The entire ship was very clean and nicely maintained. The rooms are exceptionally clean and spacious with comfortable beds. We had a suite with a balcony and it was a perfect size for the three of us. It had a king size bed, or you could request two twins, and a ...
I enjoy sailing from all 4 of the major ports in Florida and Tampa is no exception. However I would not recommend parking at 717L57 Channel side Dr Lot Port of Tampa Cruise Parking. There is no one there, you park yourself, it's close to the Cruise terminals, you can walk to them and the price is very low however when we returned to our car we had parking tickets on the windshield and a warning ...
This cruise ship was one of the worst vacation cruises of mine and my family’s life! Between the terrible food the you have EVERY SINGLE DAY, to the service, protection of your well being and experience. You get left overs every day, so all we ate was the ice cream due to it being the only thing fresh. The security did not care about the well being of my child when other older children threatened ...
I’ll start by saying this was my first cruise. The staff and crew were amazing! I have zero complaints as far as the Carnival crew goes, the people who were also on this cruise are a different story…. I’ve never seen so many rude, obnoxious, and disrespectful people in one place. Groups of teenagers roaming the ship day and night, yelling and screaming, and fighting outside of your room. Early ...
To start off, I'll tell you a little about myself to give context to this review. I'm 46, gay, married, and I'm about 70% introvert. This is my 12th cruise, and my 3rd on RCCL. My favorite line is Celebrity, because I like being quietly pampered and relaxing. But I also really like Royal Caribbean's fun, friendly vibe. On every cruise I've taken, even cruises bad enough that I've rejected ...
