Stellar vacation by buffalo770

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Voyager of the Seas

This was my 10th cruise. The only disappointment I felt was with my time dining. During lunch on the day we boarded, we attempted to make reservations on the RCCL app. The only reservation times available (for any day of the cruise) started at 8:30 pm. We talked to the dining room, and they had us come back each night at 6:30. They did find us a table each night. One night we had some wait staff that told one person in our party he was sorry the soup was hot but since we arrived late to dinner, she needed to hurry. To us, we weren’t late, but on time. Our other wait staff was exceptional!

Active cruise in paradise by wilson1874

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Voyager of the Seas

Great cruise. It was very active since it stopped at a port every day. So if you are looking for down time, this itinerary isn’t for you. If you love island hopping, sign up now. Don’t let the ship age scare you. It is well maintained and beautiful!!!

Southern Caribbean did not disappoint! by pattio22

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Carnival Magic

This cruise was a long time in coming (due to Covid rescheduling) but it was worth the wait! Highly recommend the Southern Caribbean itinerary. We felt the Magic was the perfect ship for this cruise.

Disappointing by terrykrohn

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Nieuw Statendam

The itinerary change caused by a mechanical problem with the ship really detracted from our overall experience. This change led to the ship arriving in Aruba very late in the day limiting or eliminating excursion opportunities. There was less time spent in both Aruba and Curacao than stated in the original itinerary which was very disappointing. Overall we just don't feel that at least on this cruise Holland America delivered the experience that we were expecting.

Not so great cruise by zezeo

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Nieuw Statendam

Generally I was disappointed with this cruise. I been on many cruises and the service on the cruises should be the number one priority besides safety of course. Guest services really surprised me with the lack of empathy I got at the desk. The need more supervision on the floor at peak times in all areas.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Grandeur of the Seas

Our previous RC cruise experience was very good, prompting us to use them again. This cruise, however, was very disappointing.

Wonderful destinations by rich01mac

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Norwegian Epic

Very good ports of call. Of all of them, I'd say St. Lucia was most disappointing but perhaps it was our choice of a boring excursion that is coloring our view. Oranjestad (Aruba) and Willemstad (Curacao) are easily explored on foot right from the pier. Beautiful cities with much to see and do. St. Kitts was also splendid. somehow we missed one of our stops ... not sure why

Cruising is Back! by jef57

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Voyager of the Seas

A great cruise experience that exceeded my expectations. Very much like before Covid. One thing to keep in mind, transportation costs on the islands in the Caribbean are very high as gasoline approached $19 per gallon. Be prepared for some pricey cab fares and other transportation expenses. The people of the islands were very happy to see the return of tourists and were extremely friendly.

Great cruise choice by dnrere

Ship: Voyager of the Seas

We loved and recommend this cruise to anyone. 6 ports in 6 days keeps you busy as much as you want as each port is excellent.

Good but not great by glennkinard

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Carnival Horizon

One of our parties couldn't make the trip on the day of embarkation. Carnival kept our money and didn't allow us to use the second room that we paid for. I feel that they should allow us to use the room that we paid for or refund that room charge.
