Emerald Princess Can't Understand Poor Reviews by Lookingforwater

Embarkation - Busy but well handled. Food: In Horizon's, always good choice and quality generally very good. Serving areas looked too small but never really had an issue getting our food. Seating area obviously busy but, again, always got a seat. Usually had to share a table but great way to meet people. Da Vinci/Michaelangelo restaurants - Ate twice in Michaelangelo and service was slow but never so in Da Vinci.where we dined 12 nights. Some of the waiters a good laugh, considering the pressure they're under. Twice got a pager for a table and didn't wait more than 15 mins, even at peak times. Continue reading...

Independence of the Seas Enjoyable, but standards have slipped by Gareth from Ashford

Our second cruise on Independence. We had a very enjoyable cruise, although there were some negatives. Our cabin was an Oceanview Stateroom on Deck 2. It was exactly as we anticipated - small, but reasonably well equipped. No complaints. Half way through the cruise, a letter was issued stating that the hard-wired hair dryers in the cabins could not be used due to safety concerns. A $30 credit was offered, but this wasn't much use when my family includes my wife and 2 daughters, all with long hair...... There was an option of borrowing a hair dryer, however this had to be booked in advance and for a maximum of 30 minutes.... We booked this and when 30 minutes was up, there was a knock on the door and they insisted (quite rudely) that we give it back immediately. Continue reading...

Queen Elizabeth Wonderful ship, excellent cruise. When can we go again? by drnp101

To put this review into some kind of perspective, we are aged 38 and 40 and from North Yorkshire. I am a doctor and my partner is a local government officer. We enjoy fine dining (having eaten in several Michelin starred restaurants) and staying in better than average hotels. Having travelled on Cunard's Queen Victoria in 2008 (and loved the experience) we thought we would try Queen Elizabeth this time. Having read so many negative reviews on here, we were worried that perhaps we had wasted (a lot) of money! Before embarkation, we spent 4 nights in Rome exploring the city and soaking up the atmosphere. Continue reading... Wonderful ship, excellent cruise. When can we go again?
