Caribbean - Western Cruise Reviews

I had great time, will definitely be sailing with MSC again.

Great cruise for family. All had great experience. On board activities slightly less than desired.

Highly recommend any Holland America cruise if you prefer smaller ships with good food & excellent service!

I’ve been in 24 cruises and this was the best ever. First time on Celebrity has won me over!

Loved Royal Caribbean. They take care of you. I thought the food was great. Cozumel was beautiful as was Costa Maya. You just have to go and see the water. Gorgeous.

A little less than expected but overall very good. Platinum member and only sail carnival. This is an old ship so small and not alot of bells and whistles.

We absolutely enjoyed every minute. So much so, we are looking into another cruise very soon.

If the ship isn't crowded..........this would be a very good experience. However, with a full boat, the noise is a bit much. In addition, much of the entertainment is centered around the Atrium. While it is an innovative design, the nearby venues (e..g, guest services, bar, etc.) sometime make it difficult to hear what is going on (e.g., we had to read the subtitles to "hear" the movie). Conversely, the noise from the Atrium spills out into the other venues (e.g., impacts the Irish restaurant).

Huge passenger ship but well managed. Be aware there is some wait times at some venues and elevator crowds. It is what it is.

This was a fun and entertaining cruise. We especially enjoyed the Board Walk on the Escape.

Overall we enjoyed our cruise and don't regret taking it but the ship does need some TLC and I would reevaluate the age of the ship before booking another cruise.

All in all, for a first time cruise we feel that this was one of the best experiences we could have had. Everything was wonderful with the exception of customer service ( a small gripe) and the food quality ( which was mediocre. Apparently, a lot of cruisers fell ill according to facebook post concerning our specific cruise). We really enjoyed this experience and would definitely do this again.

I’ve been on 5 previous cruises. I’ve really enjoyed them all until MSC. I read so many reviews and a great many were not good. I even called to cancel, but they told me they had never heard anything negative, which was clearly not true. All other cruises were all inclusive except for specialty dinning. MSC charges for absolutely everything. There are no food stands anywhere like other lines. Last year we traveled the same time which included the Super Bowl. There was tailgate food everywhere for the guest to enjoy. This year, MSC, NOTHING. They have water on ONE deck only! And they shut the most convenient one down at 4:00pm!!! Buffett is just so gross. Cold food, no variety, same thing every day. The disrespectful staff was shocking to me. It’s very clear that they are poorly trained. The onboard shopping is for the wealthy only! All other lines I have been on have so much more. My overall feeling is the regret I have saving my hard earned money (it took me 6 months) to pay the cruise fare. I cried a few times, simply by feeling taken advantage of. I will NEVER book with MSC again. The fact that every guest we interacted with felt the same way confirmed my take away from the MSC experience.

Cruise was relaxing and enjoyable. Would definitely do Holland again, but would choose different itinerary.

If there had only been one or two things that were bad, it would have been a good experience. But having a bed that was uncomfortable, food that wasn't great, entertainment that was lacking, and an overcrowded ship made this a cruise that was more than a little disappointing. This was the first time I was ever relieved to be home from a vacation.

Very disappointed. No offer of compensation for the missed port. However they still let excursions go in Jamaica that were awful due to water conditions. Specifically the catamaran and snorkeling excursion. Couldn’t even see anything because we had to swim so hard not to get swept away. Nickel and dimed everything. Threatened to charge $25 for pool towels. Had to check them out. Over cramped ship. Adult area in daytime had no music and big screen only showed basketball and soccer.

I don't think I would book with again. Mainly because they didn't tell me about the mandatory tips. This ended up costing me an extra $140 that I did not even factor into my cruise budget. If I did not bring on extra money or my credit card, who knows what would have happened. But for the cruise line itself, Norwegian Breakaway is a very very nice ship and there is a lot to do for just about everyone. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Book with Norwegian itself. Don't rely on not unless you want to end up with a lot of extra charges that they didn't tell you about.

Overall a great time. Next time I would book a different deck and not Allow my credit card be connected to my kids. I was told it needed to be on there in order to utilize the beverage package. That was incorrect. My so. Could still Use the package without the card attached.

Next time hold on to your bags and luggage to exit the boat easier.. Do not use the night prior system that they take down to the customs area.

A great week long cruise in winter. Will again next year
