The Adriatic, and specifically Croatia and Greece, were our primary focus. Sailing out of Venice (Fusina) and ending in Athens was a perfect itinerary, with daily ports of call in between throughout the region. The door-to-door service provided by Silversea was perfect, and we were met at every stage of the trip by a representative who took care of our every need personally. The attention to ...
I have cruised over 14 times, first and last time with MSC! Overcrowded, understaffed and dirty. Purchased a drink package, but getting a drink from the bar is a mess. Servers are overwhelmed, waiting 30 minutes, begging a bar tender to fill you order. The food is terrible! I won’t cruise with MSC again. Royal Caribbean is night and day difference and much higher quality! The buffet can’t keep up ...
We have cruised over 14 times with many different cruise lines. This was our 30th wedding anniversary and a cruise to greece.. What a mess! The staff was completely understaffed, disgruntled and overwhelmed! Getting a drink was a nightmare! The food was terrible! We were so disappointed! The dining room is usually such a memorable experience.. Not on msc! The buffets were not replenished and ...
Originally, I chose this cruise because it was on the Brilliance OTS and had a golf course and a solarium pool with steps leading into it as my wife has a bad right arm and is waiting for a operation so being moved to the Enchantment meant no golf and not being able to get in the pool, so she was a bit upset but not the worst thing that could happen.
As it happens, and these events are no fault ...
All in all, an enjoyable 7 days cruise in the Mediterranean for the cost. The process of getting on and off the ship proceeded quickly and smoothly. The ship was clean and in good condition. What we were especially impressed with is how attentive and caring the staff was. We wanted to especially thank Roman, the drinks server at The Centrum, who was professional, fantastic, and delivered ...
In a strange way, ships like the Explorer could be considered 'perfect' cruise ships. They have a little bit of everything. I read an article recently that said ships like Mariner of the Seas (and therefore Explorer) represent the best cruise value you can get at the moment. Everything you want is there, even if some of it could be improved to make it perfect.
The famous 'promenade' layout of ...
This review is for Crystal Cruise “refugees” looking for a new cruise line. We were very happy with Crystal but needed a new “home” when Crystal went bankrupt. We picked Seabourn and this is our review of our cruise on the Seabourn Quest. If you do not want to read to the end, we think you will be happy with Seabourn
Some differences relate to the ship size; the Quest had 440 guests, while ...
This was to be our 25 year wedding anniversary trip in 2020. Then COVID happened so Viking rescheduled twice and we delayed another year to be back to as close to “normal” no masks or daily testing, as possible.
We had a wonderful time. Over the delays we upgraded our room each time so we’re blessed to have Jr suite. It was so nice and comfortable. Our room stewards were fantastic. Having ...
So glad that we booked this cruise!! Staff was welcoming and wonderful! Impressed by the size of the bathroom in our cabin! Cabin was very comfortable. Of course, we were not in our cabin much! Viking is so organized! Embarking was so easy and a pleasure. Food options were good. So nice to be on a small cruise that didn’t have screaming children! We were the younger of the cruisers, but enjoyed ...
A change in Airlines on the first day of travel created issues that would adversely impact the start of our vacation. We could not wait to visit Venice. However, the weather would not co-operate. Star departed 1 day early as a consequence our luggage missed the ship's movement. Clothing caught up with us the afternoon of the port visit in Bari 4 days later. Welcome Star's customer service and ...
