This was my first Norwegian cruise an I enjoyed every minute. The cruise staff was excellent and so accommodating and friendly . I’ve been on over 12 cruises and I have to say, it’s the best so far. The food was excellent with so many delicious choices.
I looked forward to hopping up to the bar at Spice H20. Jerry and Vitas were the most fun and friendly bartenders I ever met. They were so ...
We chose Norwegian Joy because we'd been on another NCL cruise and enjoyed the experience. As Midwesterners, we wanted to escape the end of winter, so booked in md-March. The "Free at Sea" benefits made it attractive and affordable.
We felt we did great research--on Cruise Critic and other sites--and thought we could deal with the consistent negative comments about the crowding, bottlenecks, ...
Second week, new room due to excessive noise from midnight to 3:00am under Craft Social Bar on deck 4. Moved to deck 11 aft, super easy process, clothes stay on hangers load up suitcase with the rest of your stuff and walk off the ship for the turnaround at security check.
Back on board in 20 minutes or less, up the elevator and tada luggage and clothes are on the bed. Put everything back ...
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 have 12 Royal cruises under my belt before this and number 13 was NOT the lucky one. I cruised with my wife and my 17 year old son. This was the first RC cruise I went on where I did not have that, "I want to come back" feeling.
The GOOD
1. Our waiter in the main dining room was spectacular. She was the shinning star of the cruise.
2. The casino was less smokey compared to other ...
Having had a wonderful experience on Iona 18 months ago we wanted to check out Arvia going to the Caribbean. The experience started badly when we found out we were flying with Maleth Aero - an airline I have never heard of and if I had known this was the airline, it would have certainly put me off booking. The eight hour flight had no in flight entertainment or any duty free service. The ...
First time on Virgin Voyages and I would highly recommend. Zero kids! Must be 18 and over to be on the cruise. It was party like. But lots of fun. Also, don’t forget your red for Scarlet Night!
They also strive for a culture of not needing to tip, so not stressing when you don’t have money with you - like at the pool! Lots of shows and activities. The food was great, for the most part - you ...
We chose this cruise as a "get our feet wet" family cruise, and it was also our oldest sons senior high school cruise. He is 17 and we have 2 other boys 9 and 16.
Boarding went smooth and we were all excited to see this magnificent ship up close - once we boarded, the entire ship smelled like a port-a-potty - YUK - so Allure smelled a lot like manure - but eventually that went away, and we ...
I was traveling with my wife and two boys, 10 and 12. We picked this cruise for the itinerary and the water slides.
The waterslides are not good. My boys would get stuck towards the end. After riding a couple of times, they were done. There were two VERY small pools and 2 hot tubs. Keep in mind, this ship can hold 4k cruisers and 1300 crew. So, the pools were ridiculously overcrowded. ...
This is our first Cruise with our family ( 4yrs old girl and 11yrs old boy). It was a horrible experience… it was not relaxing! The food was terrible- I've never felt so rushed on a vacation for breakfast and lunch because they close super early. I couldn't just take time to drink our coffee and grab few more bites of food.. When your on a vacation it should feel relaxed and timeless. Dinner was ...
