We wanted to celebrate our 30th in style so we chose Cunard.
They did not disappoint. Great service , sparkly rooms ,lots of activities, fabulous food and free laundry.
We loved our Balcony Room and we enjoyed the televised lectures and entertainment. Staff were great to chat to not robots. Spa was great . Internet - new Starlink was well worth the basic price. FB , emails and some videos ...
We ate long time cruisers with Oceania but now a lost customer!
We booked this cruise in 2019 for 2020 travel dates. Alas pandemic curtailed those plans until this year. We in fact booked a 30 day cruise Barcelona to Dubai - never being informed that it was 2 back to back cruises - first issue as this was the start of lack of communication and guest satisfaction,
We were advised of ...
A quick review of our Southampton to New York QM2 crossing, 19-26 Nov.
I booked this trip last minute in October when I spotted a “too good to miss” deal on a sheltered verandah cabin. Only after booking did I realise that it was a literary crossing, which was a bonus!
The ship was just out of dry dock after a refit, that included new carpets, reupholstered chairs and a beautiful new floor ...
We booked in The commandant Charcot in 2019 , for summer of 2020 to North Pole , as soon as we had heard about its Polar Class 2 Ice breaking capabilities. However the voyage to 90’N , North Pole got cancelled twice due to COVID pandemic.
Finally after experiencing an exceptional Arctic trip on L’Boreal last year in 2022, we booked with Ponant on Le Commandant Charcot for November 2023 for ...
Viking shipboard service was impeccable.
The included excursions did not always match their descriptions, especially the driving excursions.
Some of the excursion guides seemed to lack training and enthusiasm which made the excursion below expectations.
Viking food was okay, nothing special
Twice menu items preselected for medical diet were unavailable because the wrong menu was ...
Our first cruise since 2012. Everything on Marina lived up to what we remember in terms of great and attentive service. there are always a few crew members who show indifference but the vast majority were wonderful. The measure of service is whether the service during the last 36 hours of a cruise was a good as the first 36. Oceania pretty much nailed it.
The Spanish Market dinners in the ...
We chose Cunard because it was named as a Northern Lights Cruise. We wanted to see Norway, Northern Lights and Viking Villages.
The Cunard transfers to get to the ship and back were seamless. Great flights, the shuttle service was on time and accommodating both directions. The ship onboard and offboard process was seamless and easy.
The cabin steward and purser staff were very helpful and ...
We've just returned from a 7 night cruise from Istanbul to Athens on the Encore and overall our experience was good.
The crew are super professional, warm, welcoming and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble.
The ship was familiar to us as we'd sailed on it's slightly younger sister, the Ovation back in 2019. The design of these ships is relatively simple, there are no real ...
I didn’t read the reviews before going on this voyage so wanted to keep an open mind.
We have done 19 plus cruises to date. We are a 41 year old couple. The cruise did not live up to what I expected. Let me highlight the details.
1. Jacuzzi on deck 9 is falling apart and peeling.
2. Don’t expect any service at the pool. Front jacuzzi on deck 9 is all self service. Would be nice if ...
This was our first cruise with Regent and our first cruise on a 'Luxury Cruise Line' prior to this we had done over 400 days of cruising on Princess and other supposedly next level down cruise lines.•
Regent is touted as the top of the line in luxury cruising. However, I must say our experience is that they are not.
The service levels were very poor compared to other supposedly lower ...
