Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

The ship was full and therefore several area were stressed. Eighteen hundred crusiers below age 17 made for increased chaos.

We thought the ship looked and felt great with this being our first cruise. It was big and there were a lot of entertainment options going on all the time. Obviously cruising is expensive but we thought for the price we paid, other costs on boat would be nominal. (I mean, .75/minute for internet that barely worked.. That's pretty outrageous) Still, we had a great time and thought the menu in the main dining hall gave us plenty options that we were quite pleased with.

Though we have lived and traveled abroad for more than three decades, this was our first cruise. We had a wonderful experience, enjoying the facilities and luxuries provided on the ship and the great itinerary the cruise offered. Service personnel was consistently excellent and personable. The nightly entertainment was varied and professional. The seven days that we were on the cruise passed too quickly. We look forward to future cruises.

This was our first cruise and it will not be last.The ship was very nice and staff were very friendly. We were in mini suite with our 9 months old baby and it was very comfortable.

freestyle means they try to nickel and dime you on everything,soda water expresso etc freestyle means wait 45 minutes for a table unless you go to their pay extra restaurants no chairs on cruise days,instead of relaxing it was like fighting on jones beach ship is very nice,clean,staff was great entertainment was fun for all ages

We stayed in Aqua Class Stateroom and enjoyed the Restaurant Blu that is included as part of this cabin category. We had a decent sized balcony, since we were on the 'hump' midship. The Silhouette is an elegant ship, with an understated decor. Enjoyed the glass elevators overlooking the multi-level atrium. The library has an open plan and is lovely to look at. For the serious reader, however, the ambient sounds might be a distraction. I would have liked a selection of English language magazines to browse through. The main Silhouette Theater was plush and well laid out. We toured the Adriatic region and loved the ports of call.

The ship was tired rundown and outdated. Management was very poor. There was a very difficult mix of passengers to integrate. Did not even take a report when I was assaulted in Turkey. The in the trenches workers were great especially Yuri and Dulp in the main bar. Zoltan in the dining room was great as well.

Big and beautiful with so much open space.

The ship is nicely appointed. The rooms are a tad small but have many conveniences. the ship is decorated nicely and the service is impeccable.

XXXXXXXXXX

The ship had all the amenities that I could think of. I would have liked more in depth free art classes and better quality and quantity of art materials. As for food I would have liked to have more cakes for desert rather than the mouses.

Beautiful ship and design. Spacious stateroom, gorgeous dining room. We found our way around easily. This ship is comparable to a Deluxe Hotel, and with a few exceptions, the service was quite good. Registration/check-in at the pier went quickly and easily. Very low stress.

Beautiful facility; great food; friendly and professional stateroom staff and dining room staff; wonderful seminars onboard.

The Ship was Horrible! Couldn't sleep at night because kids ran all over the ship screaming and stomping on our Deck and the Deck above us! This went on EVERY night around Midnight and 1 AM...They were from BRAZIL, and when Security went to speak with the parents...the NOISE got WORSE....it was a NIGHTMARE! These kids ranged from 6yrs to 9yrs. They should have been in BED!! Also, young girls would literally STRIP out in the open by the SOLARIUM and change from one swimsuit to another, AND most of the Brazillian Women wore NO underwear and you could see EVERYTHING as they walked up the stairs!! Horrible, nasty people....would NEVER recommend this Cruise to my worst enemy!!!

Its perfect

My wife and I have cruised many times, but this cruise on The Celebrity Solstice in the Eastern Med was fantastic! We upgraded to an Aqua Class cabin and found it to be woth the extra money. We loved the exclusive \"Blu\" dining room! Our waiter's assistant \"Lucky\" Luciano was so enthusiastic and helpful. Overall the ship is very modern and in fact we hardly noticed that it was moving except while docking in port! The bed was super comfy and the stateroom was very comfortable and large. It was nice to have a balcony to relax on too! We met wonderful people on board, the food was plentiful and fantastic. We couldn't recommend this cruise ship and company any higher!

Very enjoyable trip; nice new shipThe Carnival Breeze! Good balance of activities and shows, slightly crowded, a few design flaws, good food options, excellent staff. We did the 12 day round trip out of Barcelona on July 21, 12. It was a very intense port schedule. We wanted to get everything out of each port day because it was our first (or first time in 20 years) to Europe. One of the design flaws was having rooms under the galley without enough sound proofing. So if you want to sleep, avoid aft cove balconies, especially where the steam pipes go in.

Older ship in pretty good shape. The freestyle dining was marginal as the food was the same in the main restaurants. The entertainment was good. The destinations excellent., that's the reason to take the cruise.

The Carnival Breeze is their newsit ship and more than lived up to expectation. The decor is more muted from other Carnival ships, but very tastful. The crew was very attentive to our needs and were courtious and respectful. The food was better than on other recent Carnival cruises and the addition of speciality restaurants was great. Guy's Burger Joint had GREAT burgers, and the barbeque are was wonderful. The Lido buffet had a nice variety and the food always tasted fresh. Our cabin had a balcony, on which we spent many at sea hours. The ports hit all the high points of Italy and Dubrovnik was a wonderful surprise. Overall the 12 days went by way to fast. Hope to on Carnival again soon!!

Average to good.
