Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Would definitely recommend this cruise. Wish we could have stayed overnight in Athens and perhaps Ravenna and Santorini.

Throughly enjoyed our vacation while onboard the Constellation and on all our shore excursions. Staff was very attentive and helpful. The itinerary is varied and interesting. We enjoyed learning about the history of ancient Greece and Turkey. As usual the food onboard was amazing.

NCL did not notify us of port iternary change until we received our daily port briefing letter the night of the start of our cruise. NCL lacked communication regarding the debacle of the Santorini excursion with no resolve or compensation. Lack of onboard show entertainment was evident also with very limited port stays. Our personal rating, compared to other cruise lines we had taken, rate NCL last. Would not recommend to family or friends. Excursions we booked thru NCL seemed to end thru a gauntlet of predator shops with aggressive sales people.

booking this trip was a nightmare. I did not know if I had a flight until 2 weeks prior. I contacted to be put on hold for hour. My cruise person Kenyon Kee never acknowledged me or return any emails or phone calls. Iwould never work with himagain. I cannot believe how stressful this was. I would have to find another way to travel on Norweigian. I also was assured I would be on United Airlines and didn't get this. I spoke with other people and they said they did not get there flight until the last minute and they couldnot connect with their travel person.

Average ship, itinerary was amazing to visit Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. Other areas of Israel to visit too. Turkey was also impressive. Apart from Greece ports the other ports were average.

It all was great but we found all drinks Very expensive plus the included tips were high. The ship was great but Not as nice as others we have cruised on Service and crew were Just Great they deserve great ratings (. All of them )

Wonderful. Weather was too hot. Got dizzy and sick while going to island excursion. Did not like twnders

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise experience and the excellent choice of ports of call. One disappointment was having two ports of call at Mykonos due to a cancellation of Santorini. It felt like Holland America treated this 14-day cruise as two 7-day cruises. Much of the entertainment was repeated the second week leaving a feeling of very limited entertainment options the second week.

The ship is not that big, especially the food was not good, and the internet was too slow. Anyway, the ports were wonderful.

We had a wonderful time on our 7 day cruise to the Greek isles. The service was impeccable and the wait staff in the main dining room was fabulous! We will definitely be cruising with Royal Caribbean again!

Overall great cruise. Having a Suite was nice especially with concierge and butler service. Felt special. Downsides were unexpected handicapped room, switched tour and desserts.

Jam pack itinerary you'll see a lot in a short time with outstanding service aboard the ship. Jade is the right size.

We had the absolute worst experience of our lives on NCL. NCL gave us the WRONG itinerary with the words "VENICE" and were were late to disembark by 5 minutes. We called NCL many times, took a 3-hour train to Triste, and still missed the ship by 5 minutes, despite being told they would contact the ship and let them know about the delay. NCL is an irresponsible company that should take "Venice" off the written itinerary. This is deceptive, deceiving and we were not the only ones that had difficulty in arriving at the correct port. The facts are - Venice is over 3 hours away from Trieste, is not part of the province of Venice, nor is it associated in any way with Venice. We find it deceptive that NCL would leave Venice on the itinerary when the cruise line was told they are prevented from embarking or disembarking from Venice. We are asking for full compensation of over $5k in airfare, train, meals and taxis that our party of 5, (2 cabins) had to pay in order to meet up with the ship in Corfu, Greece. We have registered a formal complaint and will be submitting all receipts due to NCLs irresponsible behavior, lack of clarity and direction to their guest. PLEASE FILE THIS AS AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT

The one-word summary I will give for this cruise is, "disappointing."

The cruise experience is overall pleasant, although there are some minor areas to improve for both the cruise (e.g. food as mentioned above) and the port (taxi drivers should be regulated at the Athens port)

Beautiful and smooth. The Crew is always ready and service is immediate. The food seemed a tad less tasteful than I was used to on previous cruises, but still had many excellent dishes. Great Manhattans. Room and Valet service top notch!

Enjoyed all the ports. Kotor was our favorite. A hidden gem

Overall nice experience. I had expected more in terms of quality for food and entertainment. But ultimately for this particular cruise, you're constantly on and off the ship anyways. Some of the ports are underwhelming but it's nice to have plenty of options for things to do on ship as well. Staff is incredibly friendly and overall everything felt pretty well organized and efficient.

Overall this is a good cruise on a an outdated ship. Food options could be improved as well as onboard entertainers.

It was on my bucket list going to Athens and seeing the islands! It was a good trip!
