Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Would only take this ship for the ports of call

The ship overall was OK and the staff were fine. Some of them complained about their jobs and desire to quit openly with the passengers which I felt was inappropriate. It did speak to an overall moral issue with employees of Royal Carribean. The food selections were mediocre - nothing creative or exceptional and the preparation was basically flavorless. The other Royal Carribean cruises had very creative selections and the preparation was superb. The "rock band" that seemed to be playing everywhere (around the pool and in the main atrium) were just annoying. The overuse of the mog synthesiser and the singer were nothing short of irritating for us and the other passengers we spoke to.

The ship was clean and thye personal GREAT

A most enjoyable experience for our first cruise. Our mini-suite was very spacious and comfortable and the ship is amazing..The shuttle service into the various port cities was a little chaotic and information should be provided regarding public transportation vs. shuttle or walking which in some cases was very easy.

Didn't like the $450 gratuity I had to pay at the end of the cruise

The ship was large but had all of the conveniences you could want.

the food was horrible compared to other cruises, both buffet and dining room. also not many excursion options and the shows in the theater were horrendous - complete disorganization, nothing went together or made sense.

Excellent impression. Very well maintained. Friendly crews.

Too much smoking areas. Diner was mostly bad. Old TV in the stateroom. Gratuities 12 $ a day a person!!!

Norwegian Jade was a great ship and all the crew were very friendly and helpful. The check in process at Venice port was smooth. The ports and excursions we took were arranged well. Highlight of the tour for us was the "Ephesus and House of Virgin Mary" tour - a must see for everyone. The shows were awesome and so was the food. The entertainment options were plenty, so much so that we did not get do do everything! The only thing that I wish they did was lower the prices on their SPA treatments. They have a great SPA staff but the cost is just way too much

Food in main dining-sit down (Pacific Room) was not very good. Ordered a Cobb salad and the lettuce was wilted, the chicken was not fresh. However the food at the Buffet- restaurant (Garden Cafe) was quite good. Good selection-Indian food was good. The steakhouse (cost extra) food was excellent. The service on board was very good. Everyone on staff was friendly and helpful.

All was great...no complaints. This was our first cruise after travelling extensively and we both loved it.

We couldn't have been more pampered! The crew exceded our expectations at every step. They made it easy to reach all of the ports and to come and go into the ports at the times we wished. The food was wonderful (and seven pounds too plentiful :). We will definitely use Royal Caribbean the next time we book.

We have never taken a cruise before and this experience has hooked us on cruises. The vast majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed spending time at dinner with our waiters Kiryl and Thomas and our steward, Devor, was outstanding!

In general everything was ok - in all aspects. You can always find some pros,but it doesn't worth for this cruise

We have been on most of the RCL ships, the Splendor is in need of repair and refurbishing. Many things were breaking down during the cruise. The waterpressure in the cabin was to low and not useable at times.

overall a nice boat

This was our second cruise but our first on Royal Caribbean. The ship was very nice but could use some updates. The staff was outstanding and we did have a very nice time. The food was good but not over the top.( The coffee was alway bitter and full of coffee grinds.. and I love strong coffee). All of our tours very very well planned out tand we did see all of the sights.

Good ship and good places to visit

very good clean easy to go to my room and dineing
