Windstar Cruises Reviews

The cruise was nice – excellent way to see the French Polynesian islands and excellent food. The yatch offered free boat tenders every half-hour to all islands, beaches and ports which was excellent. Twice the Windstar rented whole islands exclusively for us – bringing food from the ship for BBQs with beach fire shows. This cruise is not for everyone. We were disappointed that the sails were only for show. There isn’t much to do on the yatch being so small. However, we relaxed and very much enjoyed the warm water from the back of the ship with the free kayaks, snorkel equipment, etc.

Nice, luxury line. Good food and entertainment. Excursions were good. Only recommendation is to eliminate Barbuda from the itinerary. Nothing to see or do there. Pretty ugly island, in our opinion.

We sailed with Windstar Cruise Line, and the sail was fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone to whats a relaxing, pampered, fun cruise. There is no pressure, no timeables, and plenty to do in a very intimate atmosphere. This isn't a Carnival cruise line with 3,000+ people onboard, and activities every hour. If you want that, that's fine, but if you want something less exhausting, and more low key, and intimate, then Windstar is for you.

The cruise line Windstar is like no other. From the moment you arrive you feel like you are entering the crews home. They are so welcoming. Everyone is always glad to see you, they know your name, you want for nothing. The passengers were all wonderful people and the environment afforded opportunities to make lasting friendships. Entertainers were good too, always looking forward to your return the next evening. The food was exquisite and very tasty. The recommended excursions were fairly priced, providing the best experiences for explorations and understanding the culture. The spa offered wonderful services with fun staff who did a terrific job!

We really enjoyed the concept of the smaller cruise ship. We could choose our time to eat dinner, and which restaurant. We liked being at a new port every day instead of boring days at sea. We waited in no lines for much of anything. We also enjoyed the customer service of the crew. Great Captain and great crew, all the way down to our cabin stewardess Wede was great!

Windstar, and in particular the Wind Surf vessel, was a first class experience with superb dining, outstanding service, great port visits, and in general a five star cruise. The 600' sailboat was large enough for comfort, but small enough to get into smaller ports with ease. We made great friends, and we won't do another cruise without Windstar!

This was our second/third Windstar cruise. They are exceptional with their service, food, excursions, and ships.

Service and food was wounderful.

Windstar was wonderful. The staff knew you by first name by the second day and we became friends with many other travelers. You don't develop this type of relationship on ships that carry 3,000 - 6,000 people. Windstar has 106 staterooms, 212 passengers and a crew in excess of 100. It is the only way to go.

Over rated, over priced.

We enjoyed it very much

This cruise made in to our top 5 list and that says a lot. We have taken over 25 cruises.

We loved the Wind Star cruise on the Wind Surf. Great staff and crew. Met our every expectation.

Windstar cruises were excellent and appeared to cater to each person aboard

The trip exceeded our expectations. Everything was wonderful, the cabin, the food the staff. Cannot say enough good things about our cruise.

We liked the small ship. I would sail on the Star Ledgend again... Crew was always accessible and I even got a tour of the engine room with the captain!

Inadequate staffing (quantity and quality), ship needs a retrofit, temperature extremes of hot and cold throughout the ship and too cold in cabin.

Everything excedeix all expectations

Great food, great boat, great service.

I though the service could be better and the food

Winstar staff and management were amazing!

The excursions were poorly planned and our onboard account was totally messed up. It was nice, and the service was great. Just wish the excursions were managed better.
