Luxury Cruises Reviews

On 17th March 2024 we went on a 14 day Caribbean cruise with Seabourn on Ovation. This review reflects our experience on this new ship. We have previously had two 14 day Caribbean cruises on Seabourn Odyssey. This has greatly affected our views about the new ship and may differ greatly from someone’s views taking their first Seabourn trip. We have previously been extremely impressed with the ...

We are not seasoned cruisers, but have really enjoyed three previous small ship cruises with Windstar. We were expecting to go up a notch in opting for Silversea, but were sadly disappointed. The one saving grace, was that all the front-facing bar, cleaning, catering and waiting staff were all fantastic, friendly and welcoming. However, that only demonstrated the contrast with the more senior ...

Excellent cruise from Rio to Lisbon. Very friendly staff. Atmosphere is upscale-casual: Few men wore sport jackets at any time. Ship was about 3/4 full, with almost all passengers being in their fifties and up. There were no children. Large mix of nationalities (US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc.). It got a bit rocky towards the end of the cruise and the captain chose to skip the Madeira port of ...

Another superb cruise on the Azamara Quest, we were in a club continent suite this time as the bathroom in a veranda room is very small , our suite was very nice lots of storage and we were able to put the suitcases under the bed. The company has changed hands since our last voyage and it is noticeable in the cuts they are making considering the guests on board we’re 54% return cruisers they ...

Service was fantastic. Food is awful. You can smell their fresh fish’ black away. Absolutely beautiful dining room with the worst food. Hot food is cold, cold food was hot. I ordered udon noodles in their salt restaurant. It was vegetables with uncooked dry noodles that look like instant noodles that they just came out of a package. No broth no water nothing it was just plain dry noodles. I just ...

they don't tell you that the weather will "probably" stink--1st stop Bergen-now they tell us it's the rainiest city in europe-rain coming down sideways-couldn't get off the tour bus-day 1 wasted-sailing to Alta was fine-decent weather-get toAlta-if its cloudy, which it was-there's nothing there-excursions are expensive but necessary-try the husky ride -its very very good-typical clouds, no ...

We went in search of the Northern Lights, which we saw briefly, but discovered so many magical worlds. Before embarking on a Northern Lights cruise you need to understand the reality of searching for the Northern Lights (it’s not like social media would lead you to believe) and adjust your expectations. Still, the hunt is exciting and completely worth it. You’d be hard pressed to do better than ...

Overall, we loved the ship - the size was about perfect to have more amenities but not too many people. The stateroom and public spaces were very comfortable and well done without being ostentatious. The food was generally very good but there were some definite misses. The asian style dishes were generally excellent as were breakfasts and lunch in the cafe. We found most pastries to be ...

REVIEW FOR VIKING VENUS THROUGH CRUISE CRITIC This is our fifth journey with VIKING CRUISES, but this is our first time to try an Ocean cruise. My husband and I sailed the Bordeaux wine river cruise in 2017 with friends, the Danube and Rhine Christmas market river cruises in 2019 and 2021 to celebrate my birthday, the Lyon and Provence river cruise with friends in 2022. We thought River ...

I was very impressed with your superior service and staff. The food was outstanding and alway felt it was fresh. The best place to eat was The Restaurant. They also had the best and friendliest staff. I was greeted with a smile and even excellent recall of my favorites! I was not impressed with Italian restaurant service. The staff we encountered at our meal was difficult to understand. She was ...
