Luxury Cruises Cruise Reviews

We booked the Iceland and Norway cruise in 2020, but were unable to go. We finally made it in 2022. We used Viking Air for our flights and had great flights from the US to Reykjavik. We arrived early in the morning so Viking picked us up and took us to a conference hall for breakfast and to wait until we could board our ship. Once on the ship, all the staff were friendly and willing to help. ...

We are disappointed in almost every respect. The food is probably the worst. Dining hours often do not correspond in any useful way with the excursion hours. The menu is beautifully written up, but the food poorly prepared. For example, we have twice been served fish so over cooked we have just about needed a knife to saw through it. Pastries meet a typical supermarket standard. Breakfast sausages ...

I notice that none of the other reviews talk about money. I'm therefore assuming this ship and itineraries are for people seeking to explore certain destinations and will pay whatever it takes to do so. In that case I would echo the other excellent reviews. However, almost everyone I spoke to on this 2 day ship visit, said that they had a great time, but they really had to think about if ...

We have been on the Queen Victoria twice before and the staff, cleanliness, cabins etc were all great. This cruise was a different story! Staff were indifferent, stressed, overworked which impacted greatly on the whole experience. The excursion desk man was very rude and eventually we walked away telling him I was sorry to have bothered him! Cabins are shabby now especially the balcony and ...

We specifically booked this trip for the 4 days in Israel. It was my 4th booking for this (or similar) sailing; Azamara cancelled the first 2 and the 3rd was cancelled by covid. Sadly due to the current situation Azamara changed our intinerary. 1) they did a good job with the last minute plans for Egypt, I would have been extremely disappointed if this had turned into a Greek island ...

We chose this cruise over a year ago with the expectation of going to the Greek Isles and Israel. However, a week before the ship was due to leave on April 15th from Athens Greece, we were notified that our cruise has been redirected to Egypt with tours to Alexandria and Cairo to see the Pyramids due to the turmoil in Israel. I know the ships' captain was looking out for the welfare of the ...

We booked this cruise because it offered 4 port days in Israel. The day before we were to get on the ship, while we were in transit to the ship, the itenerary was changed. Israel was taken off of the itenerary. This was a major disappointment. This is a old ship that has had upgrades, but not to the degree that one would expect for a so called luxury class cruise. The cabin was barely adequate ...

We chose an Oceania cruise to celebrate our 20th anniversary and our first trip to the Mediterranean because we loved the itinerary and felt it would be a great way to experience the area. We spent a couple of days in Venice before the cruise and one day in Barcelona after which was a lot of fun! Full disclosure, I started feeling bad on the disembarkation day and subsequently tested positive for ...

Chose this cruise as it was a beautiful suite, great itineraries and the service by the crew was very good. The food was awful. Specialty restaurants served cold entrees, the steak restaurant (polo grill) was out of their featured prime rib, and things like the lumped crab meat was actually minced out of a can! In speaking to other guests heard numerous stories about sending back food as it was ...

We were fans of Crystal Cruises and were looking for a replacement after Crystal folded. We had hoped that Regent would offer a similar experience. It did not. The room (we were the lowest price expensive category) was very small apart from the balcony and there was limited storage. I had to keep half of my clothes in my suitcase under the bed. We have had more storage on lesser priced ships. We ...
