We picked this so we could go to Petra. The other stops were useless--Athens on Easter Sunday? Everythihjng was closed. Israel on Good Friday? Everything was closed. They should have planned this better. Onboard, lectures and trivia were great. Dining room food was fine, but service was lacking. Windjammer was typical. What they call "mousse" is some kind of whipped jello. Pavlovas were ...
An extremely friendly ship, the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for you.
Other than that we were very disappointed in the ship.
The interior cabin was so small it was unbelievable, the furniture was old,chipped and not the cleanest. The bathroom appeared to have had an upgrade but what I couldn't believe is that the ship does not provide toiletries and the single bar of soap ...
Embarkation turned into a disorganised chaos when the gangway started moving.
The cabin was a good size but why no mini fridge or bathroom requisites. We knew from experience that the water in the cabin would cost more than a pint of beer in a shoreside pub so we declined it. Drinks generally were very expensive and the addition of an 18% service charge is a rip off. Inside this ship was ...
My wife and I have been cruising since 1992 so we have a wide experience. I would probably put this in the lower end of ships we have been on.
First the good: the staff was very friendly and eager to help. The restaurant food was quite good and a good variety.
The not so good. First there is the tipping. As I'm from the British Isles we usually tip depending on what we want to give. If ...
Chose this cruise for Dubai stay,time of year for weather and because friends rate cruising.
First impressions of ship not good,dingy and full,cabin okay no toiletries, pillows stained and Grubby, advised we would be able to be upgraded but told no.
Bingo and Belly Flopping contest smacked of Butlins 30yrs ago not what was expected.
Sun beds slatted and uncomfortable,pool music ...
We decided to stay the first night in Dubai prior to boarding the cruise due to landing in Dubai at 0730 and only being allowed onto the ship after 1230.
We have cruised with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity on previous occasions and found them to be second to none.
This cruise was very disappointing. The ship is clean but tired. The minute you arrive at the port terminal its a 'hard sell'. ...
Just Returned from a 3 night Dubai stay and a 7 night cruise vision of the seas, paid £1198 each, Atlantis palm hotel stay superb, transfers very good and embarking the ship very good
DINNING area and waiters i thought were good and professional, i thought the food was good not as much choice as some ships
ENTERTAINMENT i thought this was very poor, there was a dance floor and music every ...
This cruise was part of a package whch seemed to good to be true at the price,
We travelled as a group of 4 who are very experienced cruisers.
The embarkation ran very smoothly and efficient, but we were some of the first to get on board.
FOOD
Whilst we were waiting for our luggage to arrive to our cabins we decided to go to the main restaurant to book our ANY TIME DINING as we had ...
This ship was a huge dissapointment after hearing that Royal Caribbean was a great line. To begin with, you have to ask for shampoo, conditioner and shower gel..they are not automatically put in your cabin. When they run out, you have to ask for replacements. The food was terrible in the main dining room at dinner. In the buffet, there was more choice but still not first class food. The ...
We have just returned from cruise and this was the worst we have ever experienced. We do appreciate the price we paid but there was so many disappointing aspects to this cruise. We booked an outside cabin on to find that our cabin had 2extremely small port holes. We had to have the lights on whenever we were in cabin. Our first shock was when we left port the whole cabin shook and the vibration ...
