Ventura Reviews
View Cruise DealsVentura is old now, but loved. I miss the huge open spaces of RCCL, especially in theNDR, but Ventura is still a great ship and has all the necessary facilities. The quality of food is not what it used to be. Not a sniff of lobster all week. And any opportunity to make a quick buck is snatched up. Still, a great ship, good crew, with attention to d tail, and very good entertainment.
Two years since we were on this ship and it seemed pretty much the same as before. The small differences were noticeable at afternoon tea - no crumpets and a limited selection of sandwiches. I got The impression a few staff were still 'learning' as a few mistakes were made. Given this was a Norwegian cruise, fjords were in short supply. Three coastal ports and only a limited time in Bergen - poor itinerary planning? The one fjord we did journey down (to Olden) we cruised out of at evening meal time! Entertainment was generally good and radiation and dissertation were excellent. The delayed departure from Southampton did not have any noticeable impact.
LOVED THIS SHIP -HAD A REALLY LOVELY HOLIDAY-FOOD WAS VERY VERY GOOD-CABIN LOVELY AND CLEAN AND WELLKEPT--ENTERTAINMENT EXCELLENT--TWO THINGS STOPPING ME GIVING 6 STARS- DISLIKE FORMAL DINING WITH STRANGERS//ALSO A TINY THING IS THE ORANGES FOR BREAKFAST WERE NOT PEELED AND I DID NOT HAVE A SHARP KNIFE TO PEEL--MESSY JOB
Very enjoyable cruise. Choice of food is endless and service very good. Disappointed to find you can no longer check your credit balance from the cabin on the tv and excursions were on the pricey side and cabin starting to look a bit tired and in need of redecoration, otherwise no complaints.
Really enjoyed my trip and this was the first time I had OBS and oh my goodness that makes a difference even the £85 that I had Would definitely go on the Ventura again found the staff to be particularly helpful and friendly and a very nice captain too.
Iglu organised everything brilliantly as before. The disappointment was mainly that as I was travelling with my granddaughter it was first week of school holidays and not all children were well supervised. She couldn't get into any of the pools or hot tubs as they were full to overflowing. I have cruised many times with my husband and certain things are definitely down graded. Our beds were not changed all week. Never been known and cut backs were obvious in other ways. This was my respite week so I did enjoy the food and the cabin and being looked after. I would use your travel company again as everything I requested was in place as before. Thank you
This was our first cruise and first holiday in 11 years. My wife has PTSD so we were apprehensive. It was the best experience we have ever had, so much so we booked another one. Highly recommend.
Lovely ship excellent service. Feel we made a mistake taking out the drinks package at 39,95 per person per day.
Had a great time people could not do enough for us - would definately recommend going on a cruise
