Review summary

It is not bad only I wish they let us control the heat. The room was cold. It was hard to have a service guy to get in to help u fix the heat.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
At least the line was quick to get in the ship. Lol hehehe very good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
I wish the ship's buffet breakfast is not too early. I cannot get up early. Not too many choices of breakfast for me, so my mom and I skipped breakfast. I wish no pork or bacon in the breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I am allergic to them. I can only eat nachos and cheese and ice cream. I live their strawberry ice cream.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
We played bingo one time, but did not win. We joined trivia too. The trivia is kind of hard. I wish the ship do not put the trivia at dinner time. The game shows are different from princess cruise.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
The stage shows are terrible compare to princess cruise. The music is horrible compare to princess cruise. We only enjoy billboard onboard. The piano players are awesome even much better than the dancers and singers. It is cool they let us give them the song request.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
No idea, since I have no children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters and waitress are friendly. Lol hehehe the one serving the bread and nachos and cheese are very good always smiling and including the ice cream person. The room steward is ok. It is sad they do not make the towel animals. Anyway that does not matter to me.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We enjoy the rug in the elevators they change everyday. Lol hehehe very hilarious. The area is clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I wish the bed is not too big. It is hard to get on. the room is okay. at least we have a balcony. It is clean. I like the key that u can put on your door. Pretty cool. So I always remember my key.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Terrible! I never got San Diego to port again. We have to wait for the shuttle for ages. San Diego is the worse! Compare to los Angeles port. In Los Angeles we do not need a shuttle. The shuttle is hard to get on too. The line is long to wait to get your luggage.

So Sorry your Cruise wasn't good for you. Maybe find another form of vacationing next time. Spending that much money and finding so much fault has to be disappointing for sure. Hope the rest of your family had more fun. We were on that exact ship and exact date and had a fabulous time! And..San Diego truly is a wonderful place to Live-or-Visit!!! So much to do! Actually San Diego's Port is the easiest we've ever accessed! Drop off is a breeze! Hotels across the street, the Airport is just up the road a tiny bit! Lots of things to do and see within walking distance. Harbor Tours! Midway Museum, Historic Boat museums, many Shops, etc etc etc! Lots of eating places within blocks! You could spend alot of time exploring the Bay area! Or take an excursion to the San Diego Zoo, or so much more!!!! It's gorgeous there! And-there is a McDonalds right up the road from us!

Sounds like you really wished it was a Princess cruise instead of Holland. A lot of your issues were very uniquely specific to you. The cruiselines provide a range of offerings and amenities to appeal to a variety of people. It's unfortunate you were unable to make the experience work for you.

Appreciate your w. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.

Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. Sounds like cruising / travel may not be for you with so many restrictions. The buffet is usually open for breakfast until 10:30, so unless hours were altered due to Covid, you don’t have to get up early to get breakfast.
