We are on the waiting list. We will let you know if we get on the ship. We are optimistic. Still reeling from Bliss cruise!

We had a SPECTACULAR experience. Cannot recommend LLV more highly. We are returning for a river cruise with them 2019.

We were on the Azamara Quest as well and had a pretty good time. But we will not be booking anything with LLV again. For them, it was all about the $$ and looking good. From the private playroom that required an invitation (besides the bigger playroom but right next to it and closed off) to the price gouging for bus transfer from the ship to the hotel. Bus was something like $60 pre-book and then $90 cash if booked on the ship. We took a cab for less than $25 including tip and bag fee and were among the first to checkin at the hotel. Checked into the hotel before the buses arrived and then complete chaos.The final item that made us say "no more with LLV" was the playroom itself. Little ambiance and the clean up was a clean towel. We did not see the sheets changed nor bed sanitized after use during the night. We are hoping the sheets were changed for each day but stil... We have seen playrooms on other LS cruises and this one really lacked attention and detail.

 

We have also taken 4 cruises through Couples Cruises and 3 through Bliss. Couples Cruise is by far the best run outfit and is customer focused. Bliss falls in-between and still about the $$ but not like LLV.

 

The cruise itinerary was great and the ship was very nice. If we were to do a European LS cruise again, there are a couple of cruises using the same ship through Desire. We have been to Desire several times and if they run their cruises like they run their resorts, we will be giving them a try in the future.
