Windstar Cruises Reviews

Although our trip ended on a rather poor note with an accident , the overall experience was fantastic . The sights of and environment of Alaska wereausome , the ship " Star Legend " was a whole new wonderful experience and the entire crew were absolutely phenomenal .We hope to go again some day .

Awesome trip, first class service, beautiful sights

Tours were great; food was good; ship needs renovating, fantastic service

The ship was the smallest ship we have been on so it didn't have all of the Amenities some of the midsize ships have. We were a family of 13 traveling around Iceland and we couldn't have picked a more entertaining and accommodating Crew,staff and entertainers than we had on the Windstar Star Breeze

There was a lack of communication between staff and guests, Shore excursions were overpriced.

While the food, service and destinations were beyond our expectations, we will not be return Windstar guests for a number of reasons. We will consider other smaller cruise ships that offer a one price which is inclusive of some alcohol, laundry service , wifi and some excursions. Windstar continues to peddle the customers from the first step on board for the extras. The shorter time spent on shore was disappointing, and previous guests stated the onshore time has drastically reduced since previous cruises. Other cruise lines offer more on shore time. We chose this cruise line for the promotion of its activities such as yoga, bikes to hire for shore visits and cannoeing. We were misinformed by our travel agent as there was no bikes, very limited access to water activities and within a strict area. PLEASE CHECK CREDENTIALS AND WORK EXPERIENCE FOR YOGA INSTRUCTOR. While Katarina was pleasent, she was highly unprofessional in her approach to the gym classes she offered. She was often late or not present, and often unaware of which class was scheduled. She rarely introduced herself or checked the physical capabilities of her clients. She offered very little guidance for the exercises and no easier options. I was very disappointed in her and felt she lets down the highly professional staff team that we encountered with everyone else on board.

Loved every minute. Great crew and staff. Friendly and always smiling. Excursions were perfect with no glitches. Even though the weather was cloudy, rainy and chilly we still were able to have a great time. The sun came out a few times which we took advantage of by sitting on deck and enjoying the view. As stated above a MOST EXCELLENT cruise and are taking another one with Windstar in 2020. Highly recommended.

The cruise line is allowing some bad performers (example, a sommelier named Corina) to persist and this trip she was more disrespectful than in the previous cruise. Wines were of inferior quality, The ship had some details of abandonment such as blinking lights in the lounge. Horrible organization arriving at Dublin in terms of taxi availability. In an effort to make people purchase transfers they ruin the experience at the end of the trip.

This is my 3rd Windstar cruise. I really enjoy them

The Windsurf gets a 10+ in every category. Can’t wait to book another one.

The cruise we took with Windstar Cruises was our first and we could not have asked for a better time. The boat, the crew and the ports were all phenomenal. Our Avoya travel agent Phil Arons was an excellent resource and helped make our plans for a great trip a reality.

The wait staff on this cruise compared to that on the Greek cruise was less than stellar. My cabin rug had a huge burn mark, ship looks tired. Taking a break from Windstar.

The crew on Wind Surf pampered us as usual with great food and service. The Croatian coast was wonderful with its old walled cities and friendly people and the tours we took were great. It is hard to think of any negatives except a ship mechanical problem that resulted in our missing Amalfi.

The ship....crew....and the islands were wonderful!!

enjoyed it so much

A very nice cruise, enjoyed it from Alaska to Tokyo. Looking forward to our next Windstar cruise in One month, the Star from Lisbon to Barbados

The size of the boat was perfect. We met many great people. The music on board was especially entertaining. Tours were great.
