Columbus Reviews

Summary:  We went to Norway at the end of September. Staff where excellent. Shows Ok. Food good sometimes a bit cold. Buffey very busy a bit kaotic a lot of people with walking difficulties carrying hot food not very safe accidents waiting to happen. To many people in a small area. Overall had a nice holiday.

Summary:  We have just returned from a fantastic cruise on the Columbus. We visited the Fjords. We really couldn’t fault the Columbus or it’s crew. Accommodation, staff, food, entertainment all outstanding. We were very spoilt indeed. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for a great holiday.

Summary:  Wow. My husband and I went on the 49 day cruise to the car carabean and South America. What a great time we ha d lovely passengers and crew excellent. Only downside that a lot of passengers myself included became up with various sicknesses but after got over that .great trip. Were going on the Columbus again for 2019 Xmas cruise and cant wait. Only hope we as some of the lovely people we met. Go for the Columbus.

Summary:  This is our first cruise. We have really enjoyed. They have very good services. I am really happy with their vegetarian food. We are pure vegetarian. They have provide us a our Indian pure vegetarian food which is rare to find . We feel like a home in terms of fokd. Our port was changed from Amsterdam to Rotterdam which we are not happy because Amsterdam is far from Rotterdam. They have very good on board entertainment and facilities. The staff was very polite and professional. I would recommend this ship.

Summary:  A very good holiday on the columbus cruising the Norwegian fjords Excellent food and very good service from all the staff on board

Summary:  Had a great cruise and the itinerary was spot on ....this ship is CMV's best but we have been on the others which are also very good. The only downside was the crew not enforcing where children could and could not go - so beacuse of that I would not do a Multi Generational Cruise again.

Summary:  Nice enough ship if you don't mind it being in need of an update. Bathrooms are past their best, beds old and quite low. Food was served luke warm. We got a good deal or I might have complained. Would I go back on her? Yes if I got a cheap deal with a good itineray.

Summary:  We had a fabulous holiday. The ship was amazing spotless. The crew were wonderful.

Summary:  Very good food. Very poor service in bar areas. Daytime entertainment mainly aimed at children. Impossible to use pools as unsupervised krrids took them over. Evening entertainment very good. Trhe least friendly staff we've sailed with. Reception sytaff had no knowledge of ports visited. Cabin was good. Good value for money but I wouldn't be in a hurry to sail with this company again.

Summary:  The embarkation procedure very slick as we were met at the cruise terminal entrance and our cases were taken to the cabins straightaway. Check in only took a few minutes and we did not have to wait until 1pm to get to our cabin and go for lunch. We did not feel there was enough daily hosted entertainment, especially when we were at sea or had an early departure. Really happy with the Waterfront restaurant, and the waiters did a superb job getting us through 5 courses before the 2nd sitting were due in. The cruise director Ian was particularly hardworking and ensured the evening entertainment was professional, funny and interactive. However, the Palladium theatre was not fit for the capacity of the ship. If you did not get your seat an hour before - there weren't any good seats available and many had restricted views. The two spiral stairs took a lot of the premium space in the theatre. On the daily itinerary we noticed there was a meet up for 'Friends of Bill W', but unlike other cruise ships there was not a 'Friends of Dorothy' meet up. This would not need to be hosted, and would have made a real big difference to members of the LGBT community on board.
