Eine entspannte und angenehme Reise
Ich bin mit der Nieuw Amsterdam gereist und habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Kabine war komfortabel, sauber und hatte alles, was man während der Kreuzfahrt braucht. Auch die Ausflüge haben mir sehr gut gefallen, da ich neue Orte entdecken und die Reiseziele besser kennenlernen konnte. Insgesamt war es ein entspannter und angenehmer Urlaub.
Elegance and Excellent Service
I traveled on the RRS Explorer and was impressed by the elegance of the ship and the quality of the service. The spaces were very well maintained, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. I felt well looked after throughout the cruise and really appreciated the calm and refined atmosphere. Perhaps I would have preferred a little more choice of activities on board, but overall it was a very enjoyable experience.
Tanto divertimento e intrattenimento
Ho viaggiato sulla Scarlet Lady e mi è piaciuta molto soprattutto per l’intrattenimento. A bordo c’era sempre qualcosa da fare, con spettacoli, musica e attività molto divertenti. L’atmosfera era giovane e vivace e non ci si annoiava mai. Mi sono divertito molto e ho trovato la nave davvero particolare.
Eleganza, intrattenimento e ottima gastronomia
La mia esperienza a bordo della Celebrity Ascent è stata davvero positiva. È una nave moderna ed elegante, con ambienti molto curati e un design contemporaneo che crea un’atmosfera sofisticata ma allo stesso tempo piacevole e rilassata. Ho apprezzato in particolare la varietà degli spazi, che permettono di trovare facilmente il proprio angolo per rilassarsi durante la giornata. Anche l’intrattenimento mi ha piacevolmente sorpreso e un altro punto di forza è stata sicuramente la gastronomia. Ho trovato una buona varietà di ristoranti e proposte culinarie, con piatti ben presentati e una qualità generalmente molto buona.

Carnival Venezia: From Manhattan to the Caribbean
In October, New York smells like cool river air, peppery street food, and a faint note of hurry.

It’s not […]
