What our customers say

"Excellent service, great staff, good food in the dining room and select restaurants. Drinks package was excellent. Ship was spotlessly clean. Excursion to Santorini was a huge disappointment, not enough time to Oia and Fira." view more

      A great, relaxing holiday on a lovely ship with excellent service.

      Couple 01 Jan 2020

      My wife and I cruised with Royal Caribbean 6 times quite a few years ago and since then 4 times on Queen Mary 2, once on P&O Oceana, and once on Queen Victoria. The truth is this was the worst cruise we have been on. Their service, food, and overall standards were not what we expected. They charge far more than Cunard and P&O in respect of drinks and automatic charges but do not give anything like the service we would expect. We will never ever cruise with them again and would not recommend them to anyone. P&O and Cunard are far superior in their treatment of clients, entertainment, crew attentiveness, and overall onboard expenses are lower. Also the dress code was not adhered to by many passengers but the crew did not do anything about this. Just seems a complete acceptance that standards have dropped and have a careless attitude. We are so disappointed as it was my wife's 65th birthday while on board. for us in the future.
