Ocean Village Crusies Reviews
Newest Review: ... offshore. The ship ~ - it was very large (sorry, I can't remember the tonnage) & although the ship was almost full it didn't seem at all crowded. - not long after unpacking we were told we needed to go to the Muster Station to go through lifebelt procedures etc. Obviously health & safety onboard is of parampunt importance & the staff made quite sure that each & every passenger attended. - not having been on a large ship before I'd expected to feel as if I was on the sea but it was more like a floating hotel - very smooth. Cabins ~ - we'd booked a twin, outer cabin & were promised an upgrade if it became available. It wa... more

You remember a couple of summers ago when we had rain in the UK day after day followed by flooding? well, thanks to my kind & generous older daughter treating me, we were cruising around the Med having a superb time! It was early July & we really fancied going away so looked online for last minute offers & found Ocean Village were offering cruises around Eastern Europe, the Caribbean etc but decided on a 7 night Med cruise. The total cost was around £1000 which included flights to/ from Palma, a week onboard including all meals & travel insurance for both of us. I've always wanted to go cruising & liked the idea that OV market ... Read the complete review

Ocean Village is part of the Carnival Cruise line, by the end of 2010 its ships will have moved to P&O Austaralia where the cruise market is expected to rise. Theses cruises target the 30-40 year old market and families. Ocean Village market themselves as the "Cruise for People who Don't do Cruises". Feeling that as a family we would feel restricted on a traditional cruise line we decided to take our first steps into the world of cruising using Ocean Village. We travelled on the original Ocean Village but they also have another ship called Ocean Village Two (how is that for original naming!) which is a bit newer but very similar in size. ...

Sailing the seas on a cruise holiday was one thing on my wish list, but i knew i would never go on this type of holiday unless they let me just be me and wear what i wanted (within reason). I always viewed crusing as a middle to upper class holiday, full of stuffed shirts and overbearing waiters waiting for tips on shiny silver trays. Hearing that Ocean Village was 'for people who don't do cruising', and with the help of an offer of £829 each for a weeks stay in Alcudia, followed by a weeks med cruise, the offer was one not to be missed. Although we opted to stay in Alcudia for the first week, we also had the choice of other resorts in Majorca. ... Read the complete review

We had got back from the Coral and Coconuts and Rum and Reggae Cruise for our Honeymoon in April 2005, now since then they change the itinary each year. I know lots of people have done reviews, but the reviews helped me a lot, so hopefully our review can help too. We have only previously been on the Island Escape so this is all we can compare to. I would definitely recommend OV to those who DON'T like formal cruises. FLIGHTS: We were on the 9.45am flight from Manchester, which was the Thomas Cook A330 airbus. You have to check in 3 hours before whether you are sitting in Premium or Economy. However Premium get called first ... Read the complete review

Ocean Village offers many different choices of cruises in the Caribbean and Mediterranean travelling to many different places. You can choose from 7 or 14 night cruises or a 14 night stay and cruise where you stay on land for one week and then cruise the next. Prices are reasonable for a cruise starting at roughly £480 for the Med or £700 for the Caribbean for 7 nights ranging up to over £2,000. Ocean Village do offer a lot of deals every so often though and these are always really good. We recently got a deal on 4 people for the price of 2 so that cut the cost in half for each one of us. Whether you plan to hop off the boat at every place you stop for an ... Read the complete review
