Cruises in general Reviews

Cruising is rising in popularity. I never considered cruising as I thought it would be too strict and formal for me and my husband. Cruising is however changing and many of the cruiselines have realised that enforced dining times, enforced table companions and enforced dress codes are becoming a thing of the past. Some cruiselines do still stick ...  Read the complete review

Have only been on a couple of cruises holidays in Europe to date, am already well and truly hooked, and in my opinion with all-inclusive food and on-board entertainments, and so many cheap deals to find on the web it really is brilliant value for money. Just love the feeling of waking up in a new port / city / country virtually every ...  Read the complete review

having wanted for over twenty years to go on a cruise I was lucky enough to be treated last year to a seven night cruise around the Med for one week in July. It was truly SUPERB - I can honestly say I enjoyed every single minute. It was a late booking so the price was great ( a present so I don't know exactly what the cost was - I'm guessing ...  Read the complete review

Having just returned from the Island Escape cruise (21st March) we had a really good time, it is true the crew are friendly and will help in any way they can. Allowing for lumpy seas especially during the nights, an especially good cruise. We do believe that the Island Star is our favourite of the two ships, but it is difficult to actually say why ...  Read the complete review

The thing of dreams, a cruise in the Meditteranean...the dream came true - A beautiful sunset, sailaway music playing, I have a cocktail- of- the day in my hand as the ship slowly moves away from Palma wharf - I am on my first ever cruise. For months I've been perusing the Island Escape brochure and popping into the internet to ...  Read the complete review

Nile Presidential Cruise Line. We started in Luxor and cruised to Aswan. It was a wonderful holiday. We booked the five star cruise and it really was a five star cruise. The Presidential cruise ship, The Ritz, was a very well run ship, and kept spotlessly clean. Everything on the ship was in very good condition. There was a ping pong table ...  Read the complete review

The idea that cruising is for snotty rich toffs who play bridge and eat with the captain has long gone. Cruises are back with a bang; around 940,000 Brits took a cruise in 2002 - compared with fewer than 300,000 ten years ago, making cruises the fastest growing sector of the holiday industry. And why not? Cruises are my favourite type ...  Read the complete review

During one of our holidays to Crocodile Island at Luxor in Egypt we signed up to go on a Nile Cruise with our tour operator, Thomson's. It was for four days and three nights and cost £330 all inclusive this included an outside cabin, (a window cabin), all meals some buffet some a la Carte, our own guide, (English speaking Egyptologist), all the ...  Read the complete review

My other half and I returned from our first cruise a fe wmonth back. I personally would never of dreamed of going on a cruise because I had the opinion that Cruises were for older people and people with money. But I was wrong, and I thoroughly enjoyed this holiday. We booked it last minute, about 2 weeks before, so managed to get a good deal, ...  Read the complete review

I will never go on a cruise and I am here to tell you why. Enough people saw that movie "Titanic" to make it the biggest movie ever and they saw that cruiselines don't give a damn about their passengers, which they call "Guests" to theie faces but "Dupes, marks, suckers, or patsies" behind their backs. They seem ...  Read the complete review

After stressful exams my friends and me decided we needed and deserved a nice inexpensive holiday. We wondered what to do until seeing an advert in the paper for a boozy party mini cruise to Spain. It was quite cheap and the brochure that was sent to us persuaded us to book the holiday. It was around £80 for 3 of us to share although was ...  Read the complete review

I think cruises are meant for people who don't get sea-sickness. I, though, didn't even know I had sea-sickness until I went on a cruise. Before then I could merrily sit on the P&O while going for a one day alcohol fest in Calais and sit even more merrily on the way back, but ever since my horrific experience with cruises, I am damaged ...  Read the complete review

I launched out on cruising adventures for the first time in 1994, on a P & O ship called the “Sea Princess” cruising for two weeks around the Western Mediterranean.. This followed a period when both my husband and myself had suffered serious illness, and we decided to treat ourselves. Up until then we had spent bucket & spade ...  Read the complete review

“Where shall we go for a holiday?” asked my girlfriend. “Let’s go somewhere to learn how to sail or let’s go skiing,” I said. Scouring the internet and visiting and revisiting tons of travel agents turned up nothing in a reasonable price range. Eventually, we turned to teletext and my better half came ...  Read the complete review

If you like variety in your holiday, waking up in a different place, meeting lots of great people, exploring new places and enjoying fine food, a cruise may be just the type of holiday you are looking for. The out of date opinions that you save up all your life to go on a cruise then die is really a myth. Cruise companies now cater for all ages ...  Read the complete review
