Gourmet Food Cruises Cruise Reviews

The Azura staff from stateroom to bar staff are amazing We were served quickly wherever we went on ship and all staff were helpful and courteous. We could always find a seat in bars an theatre too. The food for most part was delicious and being gluten free I found waiters in restaurants really helpful. Gluten free options were always marked on the menu and each night the head waiter would bring ...

We chose this cruise because it fit in with other travel plans and we wanted to experience a Holland ship. Overall we had a relaxing time and would recommend. Embarkation was reasonable, but there was a moderate wait for getting through customs and a holding room for getting on the ship. Overall it took about an hour and a half from entering the port to entering the ship (finished around ...

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 ...

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 ...

First time on Celebrity. The Pacific coast itinerary(RT Los Angeles) was the reason we booked this cruise. Living not far from the Los Angles port allowed us to drive to the port with no need to fly. The crew members were very nice and accommodating. Captain announcements on the PA system were timely although at times were difficult to understand(heavy accent). The food at the main ...

From the outdated tvs to the bad attitude of staff, we found this ship to be one annoyance to another. The casino seemed like a rip off. I’m not sure I saw one person win anything in that casino. Folks were sitting at tables and just giving there money away. At one point I saw the blackjack dealer hit 6 blacks in a row and didn’t bust for half an hour. Very suspect. Don’t play here. The food ...

I was going to sail on Cunard on a similar itinerary but wanted something less formal. Boarding was not great. I arrived early and despite there being no queues to board at that time, they made me wait for 2 hours, so not a good start. My cabin was great and huge but there was mildew on the tiles in the bathroom, something that can be easily cleaned, right P&O?? I chose the relaxed dining but ...

For our 25th wedding anniversary, my husband and I cruised the California Coast on Celebrity Solstice. We viewed this as a trial cruise, our first back since the pandemic. It was our third time on Solstice after cruising the Caribbean in 2011 and Alaska in 2017. The ship is worn and would have gone to drydock already if not for the pandemic. But she is still lovely with high marks for design. ...

I want to start this review off by saying that we were incredibly happy with the service onboard. The crew always stopped to talk or say hi, and always made guests feel comfortable. Personally, my favorite part was our room Steward Iris. She was so kind and made sure to take care of us through the entire time of our vacation. She always stopped to talk or answer a question. The shows and ...

Boarding wasn't as easy as in the past, we got to the counter quickly but the person there was very confused. This annoyed the guys as they don't have my patience. She was obviously new as she did all our information multiple times, but was in the wrong screen each time, frustrating yes but she was trying very hard to get us on board. We planned this trip since 2019 but covid hit and it was ...
