Joc123 Posted February 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2016 What is your definition of luxury? Several of the lines mentioned I would not consider luxury - and I have sailed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Voyager Posted February 22, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2016 What is your definition of luxury? Several of the lines mentioned I would not consider luxury - and I have sailed on them. Any guide to luxury cruises that omits Berlitz Guide's highest rated ship, the MS Europa 2, is, for me, highly suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, you cannot go by this board when defining luxury cruise lines. They routinely include lines like Oceania, Azamara etc, which clearly are not luxury.

Texas Tillie Posted February 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Just look at the top of this page and you will see the lines that Cruise Critic considers luxury. Your mileage may vary! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The list seems to imply that all cruise lines are luxury. Ummm. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted February 27, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Honda may call itself a luxury car. Hyatt a luxury hotel. That doesn't make it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutherlinsusanm Posted May 27, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 27, 2016 My husband and I looking for a luxury line to the Meditterian. My criteria is a larger ship as I get seasick, and longer times in ports. Any suggestions greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions greatly appreciated Can you be more specific? What is your definition of a larger ship? And what is your definition of longer time in ports?

Travelcat2 Posted June 2, 2016 #12 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm pretty sure that you can still get seasick on large ships. As you may know, luxury ships (by my definition....... Crystal, Regent, Seabourn and Silversea) are not large ships -- all around 400 - 1,000 passengers. Regent's Mariner felt more stable to me that a ship almost twice her size. If you want to avoid seasickness, select a cabin that is low and mid-ship. Generally, when we leave Florida (Miami or Ft. Lauderdale), the first night is the roughest. I take 1/2 of a seasickness pill - just in case and have been fine. In any case, do some research on the luxury line CC boards. Some luxury lines offer more than others. Not all include airfare, even fewer include excursions. Check out the smoking policies as well. You may not want to be on your balcony when someone next to you is smoking. IMO, you can have a great cruise on these four cruise lines but only you can decide which suits you best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
