Caribbean - Southern Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because we had never been on the Symphony. It is a great ship with a great crew.

I was a solo cruiser on this one, and it was perfect for me. I was seated at a table at dinner with seven other solo cruisers, and we got along well. The on-board activities were there if you felt like participating, and there was plenty of space to just lay out if sitting in the sun was what you wanted. The amount of excursion options was great, and the Rainforest Zipline in St. Maarten's and Mini Speed Boat in St. Kitts were definitely highlights of my trip.

There was one inconvenience with our cruise. A pipe burst in the hallway ceiling flooding our room. Staff was immediately there correcting the problem. They worked tirelessly cleaning and drying and accommodating our needs. Things happen and the staff couldn’t have done more to make the situation right!

We had a great time; we enjoyed the cruise itself and the excursions very much.

Somewhat surprisingly disappointing cruise. We have done many Southern Caribbean cruises but on Celebrity which we have enjoyed. Given that the two lines have the same owner, we expected a similar experience with RC, and we have cruised with RC in the past but that was a decade ago. Things have changed and not for the better in my opinion. In essence, we will probably avoid RC in the future and stick with other brands, especially for this route.

Excellent cruise to relax and unwind. Excellent staff and meals. Good entertainment

Great cruise, great ship, main dining was a horrible experience because of the wait times, two out of three ports were nice and overall had a blast!

This was my 1st cruise ever and the experience exceeded my expectations. I won't be able to go on any other cruises unless they are Royal Caribbean in the Oasis class/big ship. I really enjoyed the Christmas decorations, the nightly entertainment, food, activities and especially the staff. They were all extremely kind and accommodating.

the Symphony of the seas is my favorite ship. seems to have the things we like hope they don't take johnny rockets off this one and el loco and other restaurants are great. pizza is pretty good

All was nice can't wait to see the Vista after the renovation and hopefully the casino is less smoky

Nice cruise, entertainment and food could have been much better

nice cruise to interesting ports. Great service on board ship

I’m considering reducing the frequency of the cruises I take because so many things went wrong on this sailing.

Complained over and over about room creaking and knocking noises. Asked other guest if they had same problem and they said no. Could not sleep because of noise.

Did not like the design of the ship. It is cut into too many small sections, not like other Norwegian ships.

Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. Maybe our expectations for NCL are much higher due to all of the great cruises we have taken in the past. However, because of the poor design layout of the ship, poor venues, and terrible entertainment we rated our experience much lower than normal.

This is the perfect cruise to get away and relax. Great ship and itinerary, wonderful service, and food & beverage. A 5 star experience!

We had a wonderful time on this cruise. The food and entertainment were great and the changes that were made on the ship worked well. I appreciate all the options for quiet space that were available. I recommend that you research the islands that you are visiting so that you know ahead of time what experiences are available. We would do this cruise again!

We are now Elite members of Celebrity. Celebrity is removing there Solstice class from Ft. Lauderdale on 10 night cruises. So we booked Edge class. Just not happy Edge class basically treat's true front of ship for suite guests. Ahh maybe some day our wallet can afford True,true Edge class. Still Loyal!

Carribean cruises are nice, however, all islands seem to offer the same to their tourist. Been on too many Carribean cruises. Time to explore other parts of the world. Been to Alaska once and Mediterranean cruise once.
