Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Food average, upgraded to piu gusto beverage package and cocktails were limited. Also only house wine which was not nice. was going to reduce tips for these and other reasons but was told only Americans are allowed to do this.

The personnel who took care of my situation (lost luggage) were worried to follow the rules, not please the customer. As my two pieces of luggage did not arrive (my wife and mine), we spend the first three days in a very poor way. Charging fees were more important than calming us. It is amazing how many fees there were on this ship. Even to disembark we had to pay for transportation. First and last time with MSC!!!

I've cruised on many sizes of ships with Norwegian and Carnival in the Caribbean and Central America. This is my first cruise in the Med with MSC. I loved it! The size of the ship was not overwhelming (about 2,000 passenger capacity). The ports of call were just outstanding, The ship's European sophistication of the decor was mature and refreshing. The cabin price for what we received was hard to beat. Be warned however - this is not a typical Caribbean cruise experience. The passengers were mostly mature Italians and Italian families with children. English speakers and people in their 20s and 30s were a tiny minority. But language was NEVER an issue as every ship staffer we interacted with knew enough English to communicate effectively! If you are looking for the typical boozing, reveling and gluttony found on Stateside cruises stay in the Caribbean with Carnival and the like. But if you want to try a more refined , family-friendly (kids sail free!) experience with an eye-opening Western cultural and historical experience then go for it!

Oceana is a lovely ship with one of the best atriums on a mid sized ship that I’ve seen. I personally found the ship a bit too small for my liking but for a seven night cruise it was fine. Was not overly impressed with the buffet on board, but I’m not a lover of buffet type dining.

We really enjoyed and we are now looking forward to or next cruise in the Arabian Gulf

A great ship, wonderful entertainment, staff efficient but not friendly, elegant dining, not many English speakers

Nice not new ship but clean and easy to walk and found area's like bars, restaurant . Crew excellent especial they animatie One thing shower in cabin hhhha smalllll. But for 8 days oke we survive

wont do it again ever, a shame so many ports cancelled for one reason or another

One of our best if not the best Cruise experience ever. Service was superb. Menu was varied and excellent. Staff really AL cared about the passengers.

We were on our honeymoon and despite letting them know prior, didn’t get much special attention. Two mornings of the 7 days cruise, there was construction being done on the balcony below us, which woke us each morning at 8am rather loudly. Once we complained, they offered us a free dinner at a specialty restaurant, which was the best meal we had on board. I expected the food to be better at the regular eating areas, given how much one pays for the cruise to begin with - but was disappointed by the food offered and the fact that you had to pay more for better food. I more than likely won’t cruise with Norwegian again - very disappointed.

A never-to-be-forgotten experience. Will do it again when we've saved up enough money. A great ship. Great staff. Visited great places with a nice mixture of history and relaxation. We were a family made up of three generations from 14 to 71. Everyone had a tremendous time.

Will definitely book another Viking Ocean Cruise. In fact we did... while on board, we booked one of their cruises to Alaska. An outstanding experience from ship amenities to food to excursions to staff services!!!

A must do for any Christians out there that wants to understand their faith better. This cruise brought things all into perspective for me. Viking was the best option for older people due to the lack of children screening and playing.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ship is small and the staff very cold and dry not friendly. I would not recommend this Ship to anybody It is old and needs a major overhaul. Some of our friends in that group have a cruise scheduled for December out of Los Angeles try to cancel but could not unless they pay a fee of $ 2,000.00 for the change

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise, we visited some lovely places that we hadn't been to before which was really nice. The staff throughout were great, we couldn't find fault with anyone of them. The ship is comfortable and has everything you need. We would recommend Rhapsody and would probably use again.

Although we had a nice time would not recommend this cruise as this is the worst cruise I have been on. My friend was looking forward to visiting Corfu.

Whilst we understood that the original itinerary was impossible, there was no reasonable explanation as to why the Greek Isles cruise that we had originally booked had now become a Greek Isle cruise! I understand that Royal Caribbean reserve the right to alter itineraries as it had to do during the recent hurricane season in America; the fact that this itinerary was almost completely and inexplicably changed, the only problem being fog on day 1 and the early part of day 2, in terms of customer satisfaction and customer retention was a bad call and appears to be something that Royal Caribbean has failed to address satisfactorily.

Route war super, wer keine grossen Ansprüche auf delikatem Essen hat und die besuchten Orte am wichtigsten sind kann diese Reise nur empfohlen werden! Landausflüge waren recht informativ.

Didn't really know what to expect from a cruise but we had really lovely week. Would recommend anyone to try at least one. Oct was a good time to cruise as the weather was mid 20's so not too hot.
