The accommodation consists of everything from a complex of small, inside solo ...

One of the six ships of Royal Caribbean's 'Vision' class, Enchantment of the Seas is the only one to undergo major structural alterations so far. She was cut in half, and a ready built, pre fabricated mid section was added, raising her tonnage to over 90,000. This section included new cabins, more deck space, and a unique bunge ...

Part of a definite attempt at evolution in the Carnival fleet, the Carnival Breeze combines all the fun and flair of the old days with a whole string of newer, more finely nuanced refinements, aimed at attracting a whole new range of passengers that might never have considered cruising on the line in the past. The big, fur and feather Vegas styl ...

Costa Fascinosa is one of the most recent ships to join the fleet. At around 113,000 tons and capable of carrying over 3,500 passengers, the ship is a bright, bubbly resort hotel on the briny, packed with things to do and overlaid with just a thin veneer of Italian styling. The ship is huge, glittering, and noisy almost all the time. From the br ...

Azamara Quest proves the point that 'small is better' in so many little ways. With around 690 passengers on a 30,000 ton ship the atmosphere is intimate, stylish and low key, and underpinned by hugely acclaimed food and wonderful service. The ship features many overnight stays in various ports as part of a very immersive shore excursion pac ...

The one down side was that, with the roof closed, the volume of noise from hundred of boisterous, splashing children ...

Nicest of these was a central main bar, just off from the reception area. In many ways, with its striped furnishings and expansive use of marble, it reminded me of one of the crack Italian ...

The only true transatlantic liner, the QM2 has glamour and prestige to match her size and luxury. For me, it was love at first sight. The Queen's Grill and Princess Grill restaurants are reserved for those in the corresponding upper deck suites. Yours truly, ensconced in an upper deck balcony cabin, was assigned an open seating table f ...

Norwegian Dawn might not be the newest ship in the company fleet, and she might have lacked some of the cutting edge bells and whistles on the newer ships, but she proved an ideal size for this mid summer cruise down to Bermuda and back. As each cruise spends three days and two full nights docked in Bermuda, we used her essentially as a 'floati ...

With Eurodam, Holland America Line tried to stick with much of its hallowed traditions of excellence while, at the same time, adding some newer options intended to lure a slightly younger demographic on board. But could this new ship garner applause from both camps? On the whole, I vote yes. Old timers will love the gorgeous art work, dotted at ...
