Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We really enjoyed our cruise. the only problem we had was the pool and baby with diapers in them, but got it solved at the beginning. And maybe one other thing, but it wasn't a problem really, just don't understand why. e and my partner, we don't really like having our room serviced. So we kept the DND sign on for the first 3 nights. But the 4th night we had a voicemail with a message, that we have to have our room serviced the following night. Not a biggie, but why? We cruised before on Royal, Carnival and MSC and after our trip on NCL, we've chosen NCL as our cruise line for future, we even bought CruiseNEXT deposits. Maybe little tip. If you fancy ALL Inclusive Cruising and you are from other places than Europe, but on EU VPN and visit the website. The price will be in EUR, but you get European AllInclusive deal (Drinks, Gratuities, Internet, Coffees and Bottled Water).

This was a wonderful first cruise for us. We were celebrating my 50th bday and it was fantastic! Specialty restaurants were very kind in their birthday desserts for me. :0) This ship was large enough for us and not very crowded it seemed. We plan on cruising more and will bring our kids next time although it will be a different itinerary. Thank you Norwegian for a fabulous first time! ;0)

We were a group of 10 who previously traveled on cruises with Royal Caribbean. Past experiences were great. Seems like they are cutting back on the quality and abundance of food. Breakfast buffet was the same every day, greasy fatty bacon, fake eggs swimming in liquid, food in dining room was cafeteria food quality. Gone are the late night buffets and abundance of food. Only 1 place open after 9pm offered hot dogs with stale buns, cardboard pizza and salad. Same thing for the entire cruise! Luckily my mom had a suite which offered free room service. We spent a lot of time in the room ordering late night snacks. Otherwise there was nothing to eat! Never have I been on a cruise where the food was sparse and quality was horrible. Pools and hot tubs closed at 9pm too. Very surprising for Royal Caribbean.

Amazing overall very friendly crew service was awesome

This was our first cruise with Royal Caribbean, and will surely not be the last. This was an amazing experience!! A vacation we'll never forget and will surely be back for more!!

The junior suites at the rear of the ship vibrate constantly when the ship is at or near 20 knots. The first four days we found it very difficult to sleep. Once the ship slowed down, the vibrating stopped.

Not the best review I could write as it would involve me writing a whole book

I’m looking for next cruise, just says how much we loved our vacation in a cruise.

My first time with MSC and would certainly sail with them again. Beautiful ship with plenty to do. Nice ports , friendly and polite crew are very helpful.

Had not sailed Costa in many years, but loved all our past cruises. This was no exception. We loved every minute and can’t wait to book another Costa cruise!!!

I love the ship and the staff, but disappointed with the excursions.

Leaving the cabin at 08:00 and having everybody to eating in the restaurants. They can not service all passenger at the same time. It was poor. Is it really nessesary to vacan the cabin so early.

Except for breakfast I found the food.in the dining areas so so

P&O Oceana is a small but well appointed and friendly ship.P&O are to be congratulated on their embarkation and dis-embarkation procedures 1st class.The entertainment was fantastic and the team was amazing 10/10 as were the rest of the crew.The captain was highly visible about the ship and was a very funny guy and approachable.

A wonderful cruise to see the Greek Isles and Venice all in one trip!

Overall for our first cruise we really enjoyed it and are planning on booking another one. Maybe wouldn’t leave from Southampton again as effectively lost 4 days of the holiday as weather bad going over the Bay of Biscay and was quite rough. Other than that loved it.

Overall I would rate this cruise as satisfactory. Would not be my first recommendation for my friends. It’s difficult to get around in Venice with luggage and then the embarkation was a disaster.

The ports were wonderful and our tours were amazing and interesting. We especially enjoyed Montenegro where we went to a mussel farm and had freshly harvested mussels and a bottle of wine. The boat ride was fun and the scenery beautiful.

First time cruise for us so not sure what to expect. At no time in the entire cruise were we disappointed about anything. Me personally, it was like fourteen Christmas days in a row, I loved every second of it. Two niggles, there was one lift not working and we had a meal that wasn't very hot in the Meridian. That is being very picky I know, but we sat in the bar at the end of the cruise for an hour trying to think of any downsides, and that's all we could think of.

First Mediterranean cruise and overall we loved it! Glad we picked MSC Sinfonia as our first. The size of the ship was perfect as we could get from one front to the back in 5 minutes. Port stops were great, enjoyed Croatia the most. We will cruise MSC again! Two disappointing things. First the spa staff was way to pushy on upselling. Not even one minute after massage and Anika starting pushing merchandise and additional services. Unfortunately for them they refused to listen to what we wanted to do and continued to push additional services we were not interested in purchasing. Since they didn’t listen to us (the guests) we didn’t purchase any additional spa services. So sad as we really wanted more services. Second was our cabin steward. We had a language barrier as well as he continually insisted we leave our room so he could clean or do our turndown service.
