Under staffed, rude staff,food gone down hill

Chose this cruise as it was a food cruise, didn’t realise when we booked that all the chefs dinners were going to be at large extra cost. Hence we didn’t do any as exchange rate Australian dollar to US $ is very poor. Have sailed on this boat prior to Covid and have no memories of anything to complain about. It seems they either can’t get staff or are just trying to save money. Took 20 minutes or ...

Fails advertising . The BEST CABIN - the smallest balcony we have ever had ( 18 cruise 7 liners) ( lucky we are below average weight. BEST FOOD - you can not book must have reservation and if booked out before you are on board. BEST ENTERTAINMENT- 6 day cruise and repeat shows? standing watching a show for 1 hour? ,some show you have to book and pay $50 per person. BEST DRINKS - all ...

We take 2-3 cruises yearly and decided ti give VV a try, let's start with the good. Staff is excellent, ship is very clean. The bad is a long list, first thee cabins (we had a XL balcony) much smaller than pther ships, balcony was tiny. The food, AWFUL, we ate at all the speciality dinners "test Kitchen" was like an experiment of food a 10yr old would whip up, "Pink Agave" how do you have mexican ...

Our travel agent block-booked cabins on the maiden Australian voyage of Resilient Lady, and suggested it would be a great way to sample a cruise line we had never tried before. A 5 night cruise seemed an ideal sampler, and a great Christmas/birthday present to each other. After a nightmare 4 hour embarkation, when the internet went down, and the supposedly free compensatory wine, bubbles and ...

This was my 4th cruise, on 4 different cruise lines, so I feel qualified to make a review. I travelled with a friend; we are both active seniors who just wanted a week of relaxation before Christmas. We chose this cruise because it sailed out of Melbourne. We were not particular about the ports, which was just as well, as we didn't get to Kangaroo Island or Burnie due to rough weather. The ...

We choose this cruise because it left Melbourne which suited us. we always loved Silversea‘s, and that was the Reason to cruise with them, sad to say this is the last cruise with them ,I can’t understand how people can give this cruise five stars. This has been the worst cruise we had with Silversea‘s ever. If you do the ships tour, it is beautiful. no doubt about it I have no trouble recommending ...

We choose this cruise because it fitted into the school holidays as my husband is a teacher. We had never been to South Australia and thought this was a good way to get a taste. We found all the online Covid requirements weren't required. On embarkation we were asked if we had taken a test but not asked for proof of a negative test. Masks were recommended. First couple of days about 50% of ...

Chose this small ship to escape the hordes on previous cruises The ship itself was a comfortable size but didn’t enjoy the rough seas Cabin was ok , plenty of storage but the smallest shower I’ve ever seen ! Main dining for dinner was very good and the included wines were of a good standard Lunches in the buffet were ok but not exceptional Breakfast buffet was average at best ...

A Bad First Cruise Experience

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My partner and I have never cruised, so we thought we would test the waters (pun intended) on a 3-day comedy cruise on the pacific explorer. As we had completed the VeriFly app, embarkation was relatively quick and painless. The balcony room we booked was very small and outdated. The temperature outside was 37 degrees and the room's air conditioning was really struggling to keep up (more ...

I chose this cruise to spend Christmas day in Milford Sound in New Zealand. It was to be the highlight and is a long held bucket list item, as well as an amazing opportunity for wildlife photography. I had an excursion booked for that purpose (several over the course of the cruise). Instead, they hadn't had the ship hull cleaned in order to pass the strict environmental standards of Customs NZ. ...
