This week's best cruise ship reviews

Grand Italian Adventure

7 Day/Night Mediterranean

Chris Dikmen  

A Regent cruise makes a great centerpiece to a memorable Italian Mediterranean holiday. Of all the cruise destinations we have been fortunate enough to experience over the past seven years, none has beckoned us to return like Italy.


 

Holland America Eurodam!

7 Day/Night Scandinavia

Rickee Richardson

The 2,104-guest MS Eurodam is the newest ship in the Holland America Line. It is a big step ahead for this classic industry leader.

Being one of the first to sail on a new ship, let alone a new class of ship, is a privilege. It was exciting to see the champagne bottle break across the bow and hear a real-live Queen speak at the dedication.

Spotlight: Silversea Cruises

15 Day/Night Australia/New Zealand

by Chris Dikmen & Rickee Richardson

"When you go on as many cruises as we do, it is rare for a destination to really stand out as one of those "must-see" parts of the world. A few immediately come to mind: The Galapagos Islands; Alaska; China; and now, Australia and New Zealand. Australia/New Zealand has been on our "Big 5" list of destinations we want to visit for quite some time. What better way to experience this unique place than on a luxurious Silversea cruise"

Adventure Of The Seas by Dale Basowski

Loved this cruise! Ship was awesome and will definitely cruise with Royal Caribbean again.

Disney Magic by Ty Wall

One of the best and most hassle-free cruises ever. Not as many kids as you would expect from Disney. The best food, rooms and shows on the seven seas.

Read another Disney cruise ship review: Disney Wonder

Crystal Symphony by Joyce Chen

It's more expensive than some lines, but guests receive a level of service that makes Crystal the Rolls Royce of cruise lines. Live like royalty while seeing the world!

Star Princess by Suzy Wills 

Beautiful ship. Food & service are first class. Would like to have stayed longer at ports. Had mini-suite which was worth it. Very spacious. I recommend this ship to anyone, but not for the party people. Great vacation!Read another Princess cruise ship review: Dawn Princess

Jewel Of The Seas by by Vincent Finelli

Another wonderful cruise on a beautiful new ship. Many days at sea to thoroughly admire the Jewel's art collection and still have enough time to lounge on the veranda and enjoy being lulled by the waves into complete relaxation and contemplation!
