UK Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of Cruises to UK (2024)

3.5

Overall very good. Lovely staff, room balcony cabin small but nicely done. Huge shower for a cruise ship. Salad buffet excellent. Minor problems. We eat a plant based diet and although cruises are getting betting we are still just tolerated rather than properly catered for. Staff do not understand English well and often think vegan is the same as gluten free. Vegan food has to be ordered in

On the carribean princess with princess cruises now from Southampton to Norway and Iceland, by far the the worst company and ship I’ve been on. Food is ok, entertainment awful the worst I’ve ever seen, it’s old and dated and falling apart considering it was suppose to have had a refurbished and now we cannot get into Iceland because of 30knot winds whereas if this was a good ship they would find a

Let’s start with embarkation. So old school we had a princess grill suite and expected priority embarkation as promised. Well yes you get to jump the massive que outside the terminal only to get stuck in a que inside the terminal where you have to do old school manual and painful checking. Next you then have to wait in a seating area before you are allowed to board the ship. When you

First time cruisers and picked this one as duration was enough as a test run and it was affordable bearing in mind it was half term in UK. Knew it was a big ship but at full capacity the buffet and restaurants struggled at breakfast time. Would have liked better food hygiene measures in the buffet in view of number of children .We found there wasn't enough seating in the bar areas. Entertainment

Positives : staff all very good though not enough in some areas at peak times.Cabin reasonably well equipped plus super magnifying mirror in bathroom! Public areas and cabins were clean.Evening shows all very good.Brunch restaurant very good.Sky Lounge is excellent space …no kids running round.Trips to shore are well organised. (Except Falmouth which expects you to be

It would be harsh for me to say anything bad about the Apex, as I was only on it for a day.However, I have had a similar experience on another cruiseline, to compare.I have sailed with celebrity only once before, pre-covid on the Silhouette in Aqua Class. So I have never used the main dining room on a celebrity Ship.Being a frequent user of MSC, I thought I would read at least 10

The ship is lovely and the suite was spacious and comfortable. Bed was very comfortable. The housekeeping staff did a terrific job as our room was always impeccably clean. The butler seemed stretched too thin; was unable to help with unpacking. The food was very good. Not exceptional but very good. The service at the buffet was excellent; best we’ve ever experienced at a cruise buffet. The

As noted in the title. My wife and I are Celebrity people, but the itinerary finally created our first trip on Royal. Also, we are empty nesters not traveling with children. Keep these two factors in mind since they heavily influence our opinion.Overall - Great cruise, great trip, and a great time. Would do Royal again but will lean towards Celebrity. We did have an itinerary change due

We were a bit afraid of traveling as we heard about the norovirus bug going on on Ventura on the previous trip before ours.We received an email from P&O advising us that boarding was running 4 hours behind so we needed to get to the terminal 4 hours after our original boarding time.As we do not live anywhere close to Southampton, we decided to leave early, and due to the fact we got to

Currently on cruise number 25 or 26 but first on P&O. To start on positive the internet is the best we've experienced at sea and the food in main restaurants is excellent, amongst best we have had at sea (apart from the buffet which is amongst the poorest). The main problem with the ship, part from it being very very dated, is that the logistics, moving and organising people is just utterly
