Customer Reviews

    · May 21st, 2024
    The only negative I have is that Uniworld did not provide name tags for each individual. Cruises are very social and meeting new people is always a pleasure. Name tags would have been so very helpful in getting to know fellow passengers and to recall names. If certain people don'tvwant to wear them then that's ok too.

    Everything was really quite lovely. Only complaints: There were some problems with temperature controls on the buses, and one night the circuit breaker for our cabin was tripped leaving us with nothing working. We pushed the emergency button but no one came. It turned out the phone in the cabin was not working. The crew member who saw the emergency light called our cabin but ignored it when he got no answer on the phone.
