We chose this ship and cruise line because we cruised 4 years ago on this ship and really enjoyed it. This time, however, was a completely different experience. We had been delayed getting to Venice to meet the ship because of Air Traffic Control glitch that had affected the UK but we had booked through NCL so they got us alternative flights the next day to meet the ship in Dubrovnik. We were ...
When booking our honeymoon we thought that the price of NCL outweighed the benefits of another more expensive cruise. In hindsight, they are cheap for a reason. The cruise started rough because of some storms which left people waiting in lines for up to 10 hours before boarding the ship. We were lucky and only waited 4 hours after our original check in time. Once on the ship we found out our ...
Our first time cruising with Azamara. Have cruised with Oceania, P&O, Celebrity, RCL, etc before.
Picked up the free transfer from Tronchetto, Venice, it was 55 minute bus ride down to Chioggia, where the Quest was docked.
Boarding; was not the smoothest. Everything was done by paper (no computer) with only 3 stations managing the check in process. This took just over an hour. Then ...
After taking around 60 cruises
we were interested to see how the cruise would be on Azamara since the buy out from Royal Caribbean
The entertainment was the bare minimum with the same 6 singers and dancers every night
except for the Azamazing evening. This was a huge disappointment as we all thought we were going to be taken somewhere wonderful but ended up with some folk dancers being ...
The cruise ship is old and kinda dirty. The shore excursions were disorganized (the tenderboats were in late, you have to wait for the buses in 40°C no shade for sure). The staff at the pool bar didn't want to work, often just looked away, to avoid eyecontact, it was on their face that they HATE their job and hate the guests. The food selection is poor, especially at dinner (only vegetables? ...
I just turn 60 and I have sailed in more than 40 voyages at this point , my last 4 cruises have been with Seabourn in various ship , making the Quest my second time in Amazonas Br. , In this case was from Venice / Fusina , so I may warn you about this port for embark with Seabourn , unfortunately this por lacks glamour of your in Venice experience for departure , it was a mystery for weeks on ...
Just off Quest following a 10 day cruise in the Adriatic. My wife and I had our two boys (ages 15 and 17) with us. We’ve had only one previous experience on Seabourn when my wife and I went on a cruise to Greece 12 years ago.
I always try to do a fair amount of research prior to departure and therefore I had read a lot of the recent negative reviews. I have to say that for us we had the best ...
I recently embarked on an MSC Cruise "Lirica" with high hopes for an unforgettable family vacation. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired, tarnished by issues ranging from subpar food and outdated facilities to a distressing incident with my special needs son. While some crew members proved to be exceptional, others displayed rude behavior that soured the overall ...
We've sailed Seabourn 5 times and this was our first since the pandemic.
A DISAPPOINTMENT. NOT EVEN CLOSE TO PRIOR SAILINGS.
Don’t charge full prices for over 1/2 staff still brand new
30k for an 11 day cruise with this many issues no thanks
Pros:
Size of ship we still like
Location of PH suite on deck 10, very quiet -although view blocked PH1025
Keller restaurant still ...
We chose Silversea on this occasion for the itinerary, although we have cruised with them before and know that their standard is our standard.
The cruise was superb from start to finish. Although the ship is a little bit tired decor-wise, it did not detract from our enjoyment at all.
The food was of a uniformly high standard. We mostly ate in the main restaurant as the choice is excellent ...
