Is The Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection Worth The Money?

  • After looking to charter a private yacht it seemed like a logical step to save some money and see if I even like yachting by trying out the Ritz Carlton Evrima. It was actually cheaper to do this 5 night trip than it was for me to just do a 3 day weekend in St Barths when I was looking earlier in the year.

    Ritz Carlton is one of my favourites for luxury accommodation, they have a program which allows you to buy anything you like in there hotels (Paintings, Sculptures,Linen , furniture or even the mattress) which is cool, First time seeing there cruise, looks like a much better cruise option as well (Traditional cruises are too chaotic for my liking). Great Video, Happy New Year

    I went on a Alaska cruise with NCL in the Haven and it’s very intimate limited amount of suites for that area. Has its own pool and jacuzzi. So you’re never going to be too many people around. Plenty of entertainment if you so desire outside the haven. It was a great experience for the $$$$. Great video by the way was thinking of trying Ritz.

    Worked as musician on cruises large and small. Italian, Brit, Hong Kong (exclusive first class) and even Russian cruise lines (also smaller) and a lot of fun.
    There’s fun on either but did prefer the smaller more intimate atmosphere.
    But with the Ritz Carlton it’s certainly a step up in design and would definitely try it out.

    I’ve been on five cruises now. Royal and Celebrity. I’ve always wondered about the Ritz Carlton. Their base cabin is the equivalent of a junior ocean suite on a standard higher end cruise ship with appx 3000 people. The Services is exactly the same one and cruise ship. There are people who tend to your room. Some are better than others I imagine, but we’ve never had an issue with anyone. This sounds like great value for money.

No shows, no casino, no all day overhead announcements, no roving photographer, to name a few things. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Ritz Water! The food is fantastic. Service top notch. We stayed in a Signature Suite, plenty of space. Nespresso coffee makers in all suites. They will stock your in room fridge with what ever you’d like. The great thing, it’s all inclusive!

    If you want to try a slightly bigger boat, Regent Seven Seas is a good line that is similar, but you are on a slightly bigger boat, ~700 passengers. The bigger boat means more entertainment, including a casino, and more restaurant choices. The bigger boat is slightly more stable on the water.

      Except you don’t actually get to see and explore the spots that you go to. You’re required to come back pretty shortly and you can’t go too far from the boat and actually see around. Did you really see, for example, Italy if you were only there for a day and only explored a mile or two of it? The best way is to fly or drive to the spot and rent a car or use your own and be on your own schedule.

    OK we are missing a lot here. Its the other cruisers on the ship. They will probably be older, wiser, well mannered, interesting, sophisticated and other positive adjectives of class. These are not the party hard crowd. Nor will they be the crowd that tries to impress you with themselves and what they have. They don't need to do that. The conversation should flow easily with your fellow cruisers and they will be world travelers with lots of good stories and tips to exchange with you and as we found on Azamara you will probably make friends with at least one couple and our Friends are from Sydney Australia and its so nice when you have friends in far away places looking forward to seeing them and we did and had a wonderful time and have kept up our friendship. They are coming to see us later this month. Just my two cents. PS I'm like the above and I fit perfectly with them. But to be honest. Ritz is a bit too steep for us, not that we could not splurge, but we have found you will meet the same people on Azamara and other lower luxury lines as I have mentioned and other lines if you stay in the Retreats, etc. Just my two cents. So no flames, I'm tired of people taking pot shots. If you have a negative comment, please do it in the vein of a discussion rather than a diatribe or attack.
