Norwegian Spirit NCL Spirit - Mediterranean - April 3rd 2015 by pipcarobethdan

We have taken cruises with NCL before, travelling twice on the Jade and once on the Star so we were looking forward to not only another cruise but a new ship. We had read good reviews about the Spirit on Cruise Critic as well. We boarded in Malaga (after enjoying 2 days there revisiting our old haunts as we used to live there) after taking a taxi which dropped us right at the entrance to the terminal. Immediately, a porter was there to take our cases and point us in the right direction. The check in process was simple and quick (most people would be boarding in Barcelona 48 hours later) and there were no queues at all. We checked in and were on the boat within 10 minutes.

Thomson Dream Nothing wrong with Thomson by Nannie D

I find it hard to understand why people moan so much about Thomson cruises, no they're not five star but you know that when you book. Although our cruise Mexican Medley and Panama Canal had some problems it was all out of the captains hands. He can't avoid delayed flights, bad weather or a guest needing hospital treatment. We cruise with Thomson because of the crew who are excellent . As a vegetarian I don't always like the main option on offer but head waiter Daniel arranged for the next nights menu to be delivered to my cabin every day so I could check if it was ok and if not suggest something different. Excellent service. Continue reading... Nothing wrong with Thomson

 

Azamara Quest Exceeded Expectations by TPW

Upon boarding the Quest for our first Azamara cruise we met so many people who were on their 4th,5th or 6th (and in some cases more) cruise which is always a good sign. We had a mini suite on the 8th deck (8053) and everything was very good. The staff were excellent, the senior staff including the Captain were personable, friendly, helpful and communicative (quite the opposite to the cruise we took immediately prior to this on Silver Wind - for all we saw the senior crew on that ship it might just have well been on 'automatic pilot'') the food was superb and the staff most attentive at all times. It would help if there was more than one choice of red and white wines at dinner. We will travel with Azamara again and have no hesitation in recommending this ship on the basis of this most enjoyable experience. Continue reading... Exceeded Expectations
