I am a fan of P&O and have cruised with them a number of times to various destinations, but this cruise was average at best and will make me consider carefully if I cruise with P&O again.
We selected and booked the cruise at fairly short notice about 2 months ago, accommodation choice was limited but we were able to book a Balcony cabin.
The ship exterior and public area were in very good ...
]As a female solo traveller, I especially appreciated CroisiEurope's summer special waiving single supplements.
I am non-EU national, and very much enjoyed the international clientele .
My flight arrived later than the prescribed boarding time, the crew had my cabin ready, and held dinner. Both land side New York office and the onboard crew were very welcoming, and most attention to detail. ...
Good cruise, which could have been better. Sad to report and review. Smoke and smoking affected everything. On board. In our room, verranda and walking on ninth and tenth floors. We couldn't use our verranda on the eight floor. We had friends on the seventh floor who also complained of the smell.
There was cigarette and cigar smoking from our first to last day on board, ship. It's a safety ...
We originally scheduled this cruise for April 2020, then COVID-19 resulted in cancellation. We were rescheduled for August 2020, with a different itinerary but again, COVID resulted in cancellation. We had challenging and frustrating interactions with our Oceania agent to the point where if we didn't lost our investment we would have cancelled altogether. To be honest, we were sort of numb by ...
We travelled on Viking Sea, Empires of the Mediterranean, from Athens to Venice departing 15th June, and also booked the two nights pre-cruise stay in Athens. This was our first Viking cruise, albeit postponed twice due to the pandemic. We are fairly experienced cruisers, and tend to favour lines such as Azamara and Celebrity. We like small ships. We were impressed by Viking’s marketing, in ...
This was our first cruise on Oceania, after having sailed Celebrity on our most recent 3 cruises. Oceania was recommended by friends, so thought we would take the plunge, and we were glad that we did! Here are some of our observations:
CHECK IN: We departed from Civitavecchia (Rome). The terminal was older, but well laid out. Being a small ship with staggered check in times, there were no ...
After waiting for 2 years because of the pandemic, we enjoyed every single day on our Viking Mediterranean cruise. The staff and team at Viking provided an experience that exceeded all our expectations. The food, entertainment and activities made this cruise even more special.
Like everyone else we were concerned about Covid before our cruise. Once we boarded, we never gave it another ...
I am writing this from the perspective of an American with lots of cruise experience with Carnival. As the title indicates this was our first cruise in the Med after many Caribbean, Alaska and West coast of Mexico cruises. We sailed round trip from Rome. Technically we sailed from Civitavecchia, the port that services inland Rome. Most of our cruise experience is with Carnival but we sailed with ...
My wife and I are retired and have done more than 20 cruises. This was our second Celebrity cruise. We are doing a 7-month RTW trip and this cruise was a chill-out time after 2-months travelling around Europe. Although it was Beyond's 4th cruise, we found the cruise to be still getting up to speed. On boarding in the first day in Rome we went for lunch in one of the restaurants and the food was ...
I am currently sat in the Cafe on the ‘Celebrity Beyond’. The third ship in the ‘Edge’ class of ships.
This is one of the most comfortable and stylish ships I have ever sailed on, subtlety improving on the original ‘Celebrity EDGE’ in so many ways, without making you feel lost in new features, or missing loved features.
With a much-improved sunset bar area, a new bar on the upper resort ...
