Overall this is an absolutely amazing ship..leaps and bounds ahead of anything else in the RCL, NCL, or Carnival lines. We are two late-twenty/early-thirty childless females who have been on 20+ cruises and this is by far our favorite ship. It truly is unlike any other and feels like every inch of the ship was considered. We were told this sailing was one of the first at full capacity and, save ...
We chose this cruise based on a great casino offer. We had sailed on her in 2008 and 2009 when she was fresh and nearly new. Today the ship is in fairly decent shape. Worn areas show in the elevators, and some of the common areas. The crew in general were outstanding! Nice positive vibe from the people who make this party barge go!
Princess really had their act together on embarkation, ...
This cruise was most notable for the weather - it was cold, windy, and wet for most of the cruise. Really the only beautiful day was our Half Moon Cay day - so that was nice. But the seas were quite rough most of the time (it's great the ship has stabilizers) too. So overall, if you are looking for warmth and beautiful sunny days - just be aware you might not get them at this time of year. ...
The Celebrity Ascent is a stunning ship with beautiful design in most areas. It has a modern, upscale feel that's truly enjoyable. However, there were a few shortcomings that surprised us, especially considering this is a new Celebrity ship.
One frustration was the theater. We waited in line for a show in the top section of the Club, only to discover it had limited visibility. The layout seems ...
Read some other reviews and although the ship layout and size has created some issues, overall we had a good vacation. This was our fifth cruise with Carnival but the first one out of Charleston and aboard the Sunshine. We didn’t splurge on any in port excursions but we did partake in the faster to the fun, cheers program, the steak house, internet, and deep tissue massages. Even though it is an ...
Despite prices rising the last few years across all of RC’s ships, the cost cutting continues.
Once a day stateroom service is a joke. RC should be embarrassed by this. When I was at guest services for a different matter, they grasped at straws to come up with explanations, or as I called them, excuses, as to why this was the case. My favourite was, “well all inclusive resorts only offer once a ...
I love cruises. Being on over 30 so far but this was my first experience on Virgin. I loved the ship on how modern it was and clean. The crew also were very friendly.
The only down side are the following:
- Confusing layout. They need better signs to get you around the ship. Often times the hallway just dead ends. Just adding more signs would be a huge improvement.
Pluses are the rooms ...
This was a charter cruise so I will try to limit my review to those items to the Celebrity ship itself. We have been on this ship several times in a Consierge cabin with nice balcony. The room was spotless & our cabin steward, Komang, was great. As this was a intense music cruise not a lot of time was spent in the cabin but the time there was comfortable.
We felt the food in the Main Dining ...
After hearing negative reviews I was so pleasantly surprised! The food was good, the service was great! The room was clean and spacious. Loved the show! We had a great time and can’t wait to go again! The boat was a perfect size for a short cruise. Easy to find our way around and easy to get back to our room. The other travelers were friendly. The staff tried hard to help, direct and make sure we ...
I've been on MSC in the Mediterranean before (Poesia), as well as Princess, Costa and other, smaller cruise lines. I'm a 40+ European and used to work on Princess Cruises in the Carribean and Alaska as a waiter some years ago. I have a decent idea of how things work on the ship and also of differences between cruising in the US and in Europe. I'm a massive fan of cruises and follow very closely ...
