Europe - Eastern Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Got to see a number of interesting/historic places quite comfortably and conveniently

can't go wrong with Viking Ocean Cruise and the excursions are top notch

Nice post pandemic cruise. Staff tried really hard to make this nice. Going in September is better than October (weather wise and ports were starting to close up). Absolutely a logistical challenge with lots of added expenses with this cruise coming out of Ravenna. Location of this port for embarkation is horrible. And RCL needs to stop advertising as Venice embarkation. We knew it wasn’t Venice but until you have to make all the travel and lodging arrangements as well as moving all your luggage around pre and post, you don’t realize how much of an expense and pain it really is. Example, we didn’t want to take / find train or bus so we asked about a shuttle from airport to hotel we were staying at. The shuttle cost 220 euros for the 2 of us. This was on top of the cost of the room. Then had to pay another 40 euros the next morning from hotel to the port.

Great cruise with exceptional ports of call. Highly recommended. Ship was nice and not over crowded.

I enjoyed the cruise and ports, this ship is dated and needs some renovations. It was super clean and the staff were exceptional throughout.

Getting to Ravenna was difficult and Royal did not provide any transportation for guests that arrived a few days early in Venice. There was a train strike from Bologna to Ravenna we had to take a cab which cost us $150 and Royal had refused to reimburse us even though the agent over the phone said that they would.

It was a fantastic trip and out of the ordinary, would recommend .

We had a wonderful time. Even though there weren't five stars across the board, we still enjoyed what we did and where we went. We made some fantastic friends that we feel will last a lifetime. We visited beautiful ports. The only downside is that there is never enough time. So much to see, so little time.

Beautiful scenery and nice cabin. The staff does not help you at all nor can they understand you! The difference from a NCL line and the Princess line is Princess you are important and they will do everything to make you happy. The last day everyone on our floor received chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of wine except us. When my husband tried to get ours no one understood what he was saying. He was not happy with NCL!

It was okay, but I WILL NEVER book another cruise excursion through United. I will stick to Virgin I think from here on out.

We would like to thank: Imam and Muz, room stewards Rebecca, Angelika, and Nyman, shore excursions Antoni, dining room and crew Alex, Future Cruises Fernando, Beverage Manager

Terrible Embarkation. Great Ship Experience. In the future I would avoid the Greek Ports, the costs of souvenirs was double than Italy/Montenegro & Croatia. For a senior citizen, to much climbing steps and mountains not disclosed in the excursion details.

Had a great time! Service and Cruise were excellent as well.

Truly a fantastic cruise. We loved every minute. Montenegro was by far our favorite port! Old world charm at its finest!

Fast paced cruise - 4 ports out of 5 days of cruising - but size of ship made it all seems less stressful.

Piers were great. Drinks were excellent. Food was severely lacking in quality and flavor. So much so I may rethink traveling in NCL again.

Would definitely recommend this cruise. Wish we could have stayed overnight in Athens and perhaps Ravenna and Santorini.

Throughly enjoyed our vacation while onboard the Constellation and on all our shore excursions. Staff was very attentive and helpful. The itinerary is varied and interesting. We enjoyed learning about the history of ancient Greece and Turkey. As usual the food onboard was amazing.

NCL did not notify us of port iternary change until we received our daily port briefing letter the night of the start of our cruise. NCL lacked communication regarding the debacle of the Santorini excursion with no resolve or compensation. Lack of onboard show entertainment was evident also with very limited port stays. Our personal rating, compared to other cruise lines we had taken, rate NCL last. Would not recommend to family or friends. Excursions we booked thru NCL seemed to end thru a gauntlet of predator shops with aggressive sales people.

booking this trip was a nightmare. I did not know if I had a flight until 2 weeks prior. I contacted to be put on hold for hour. My cruise person Kenyon Kee never acknowledged me or return any emails or phone calls. Iwould never work with himagain. I cannot believe how stressful this was. I would have to find another way to travel on Norweigian. I also was assured I would be on United Airlines and didn't get this. I spoke with other people and they said they did not get there flight until the last minute and they couldnot connect with their travel person.
