Overall great trip by jmsaavedra

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

They need more variety of entertainment. The main dining room-Versailles-wasn’t very good. Both times we ate there the food was cold.

Beautiful Cruise by sharbrian

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Riviera / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

We enjoyed our cruise immensely. The service in the restaurants, room, embarkation and debarkation in every port was amazing. For a Greek cruise, we were a little disappointed that more Indian cuisine was offered in the main dining room than any Greek cuisine! We are not fans of buffets for dinner, so we did not go to the buffet Greek dinners.

Just ok by traveldoc12

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

This was my second cruise. I liked the idea of freestyle dining but I think it takes away from the experience. the dining staff in the main dining room were not attentive. We typically would run out of water and no one would come to refill our glasses. I feel that they did not go out of their way since you did not have an assigned waiter during the cruise and did not have to work as hard for tips. the tips are collected at end of the cruise and distrubuted by Norweigian to all the staff. The food was ok. For lunch in the main dining, the menu would be the same every other day. The food quality was not good as on my previous cruise. The pool staff was good. The drinks were much better at the pool. I did have the beverage package. I thought it included water but doesn't. The entertainment was ok but not spectacular. I did enjoy the acrobatic performance. Michelled(singer) was funny but typical cruise singer. The cabin was nice. There was a fridge in the room that was stocked but this is NOT included in the beverage package. The shower was spacious. The housekeeper was friendly and efficent. The tendering process needs to be better. I would get inline at 8am for 8:30 tender tickets. By the time, I got to the front of the line, I would be in group 11. People would get 10 tickets and just give them away or not use them. This would delay people from getting off the ship. We had to tender in 3 ports. If you purchase an excurision thru Norwegian you get priority tender.

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Cruise exceeded our expectations. Ship and staff were wonderful. Overly accommodating. Ports of call were perfect places where we had never been.

Disappointed by MinjaNam

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Costa Deliziosa / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

I really disappointed that the shore excursion in Dubrovnik Tour what I pre-applied and paid. (Order Number : 744651, for 3 people) The guide didn't show up on that date and time. I already claimed via phone about this but they never answered to me. They said they would answer to me after check local travel agent, but they never got back to me about the result. I mentioned them for refund. This experience makes me that I will be never on board Coasta again. And overall service also worst among my cruise experience tens of times.

First Time European Cruise was a comfortable and enlightening experience. by dwate

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Rhapsody of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

We have been on two cruises now, but I am not sure we are "cruise people". We don't really like to take part in most of the onboard activities, clubs, specialty restaurants, casino or shows. We did enjoy most of our meals in the Dining Room with exceptional service from our server, Aleksandra, and our Room was very nice with extraordinary service from our Steward, Nazareth. We enjoy the convenience of having a room to stay every night with transportation to different ports of call, but we don't like paying for services and shows we do not want. In room "first run" movies would be nice, and we would like being able to bring our own wine or drinks. We don't like paying extra for soft drinks or wine unless you buy the extremely expensive passes.

Never again! by sdwelch

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Lirica / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Overall very disappointing. Although we enjoyed the shows and entertainment, between the sewage smell and the terrible experiences throughout the week we are not likely to cruise with MSC again. One thing I would add is that compared to other cruises, there was little information about the excursions. The TV showed lots of pictures but not what excursion would take you to the places you see. There was no meetings in advance about the various excursions or details. This could have been handled much better. The WORST part of the ports is that there was an additional charge to take the shuttle to town! I have never had to pay for this before-and it was expensive at that!

Fantastic Voyage on The Muse by aczujko

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Silver Muse / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Our trip will be a fond memory because of the entire staff of the ship. Although service was not always perfect, every crew member that we encountered never failed to make us feel welcome and pleased that we chose the Muse as our first (but not last) Silver Sea voyage.

Azamazing Aegean by bejacob

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Azamara Pursuit / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

A truly fantastic experience. Our itinerary changed slightly due to weather, but the substitute ports were wonderful. I can't think of a better way to see the Greek islands than by cruise. The ship and crew were amazing. Everything was first rate. Both the Azamazing Evenings event and the White Nights party were so much fun. I can't wait to get on board another Azamara cruise.

Beautiful ports amazing food by flaureti70

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Sinfonia / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

I have taken more than 10 cruises in my life. This is my second European cruise, but from a European line. The food and entertainment was far superior than other lines like NCL or Royal Caribbean. Highly recommend MSC, but take note they do not make announcements for everything and anything so you must make sure to read your daily program.

The Beauty of Greece by gbattista

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Overall wonderful experience however, did not enjoy having to wait in line so much for almost everything, food, drinks, tender tickets, bathrooms, excursions. It's tough going to these small beautiful towns and have one or two other ships in port also. Made the area very crowded and more touristy rather than quaint and beautiful.
