Europe - Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Beautiful modern public rooms and staterooms. Lots of activities to enjoy. We loved the Glass Blowing Show-amazing talented glass blowers that explained the process very well. Delicious Food and lots of choices.

Clean, friendly

Beautiful ship; great cabin service; and friendly staff.

There is smoking allowed in pretty much every public area of the ship (bleh!). I am still recovering from the after effects of a respiratory infections as a result. We tried to go on deck as much as possible but there was always someone smoking near us. The ports themselves are pretty decent - I don't recommend any excursions as you will be rushed through everything, you won't be able to get out and take pictures of everything. You can easily wait till you port and there will be people trying to give you flyers of the same thing the boat is doing for a fraction of the cost.

The ship was great, not too small and not too large. It was easy to get around and also easy to get on and off.

Found the city of Barcelona exciting to leave and return to. The exploration of Italy, France, Monaco, Spain along the entire Riviera a must see. The Norwegian Epic is a wonderful well ran cruise ship if you don't mind large ships with lots of people.

In general we were very pleased with our first cruise and Costa delivered on virtually all its promises. We state above what we liked and didn't like, so won't repeat here. Thank you for a wonderful holiday!

This was our first oceanic cruise (as distinct from river cruises) and our main objective was transportation whereas for many of our fellow passengers the \"cruise experience\" seemed to be the thing. That explains why Holland America provides so many different activities and frankly pampers its guests--but from a personal standpoint, we didn't need that much attention and thought the prices were a bit steep.

Loved the small boutique Ship

Nice size vessel. Needs some updating. Clean. Modern. Controlling air temp was an issue but they adressed.

The ship is nice enough and very clean, however, I'm not accustomed to pay for all the \"shows\" and entertainment on the ship. The Blue Man Group was the only free entertainment that I am aware of, everything else to see was extra. The freestyle dining was a nightmare. I felt like a herd of cattle in the mornings trying to get breakfast before our excursions. Dinnertime was the same way unless you went at really odd hours to avoid the mass of people. The food was typical \"buffett\" food. After a few days, it all seemed to taste the same no matter what you ate. I tried the grilled salmon about 4 different times but was only able to eat it once seeing as the other 3 times it was totally raw in the middle. By far the worst food I've ever had on a cruise.

horrible management. they hid, never lifted a finger to help, never made eye contact, and clearly had nothing to do with helping, while staff toiled around. There is clearly no leadership, no training, and no understanding of how or why they exist. I would fire them all and start over.

It was a wonderful cruise. Everything was well organized.

Professional staff.

A beautiful ship in every way

Our balcony room was spacious, clean & had room enough to store clothes.

The ship was beautiful and well taken care of. It sailed so smooth we never felt any movement. Loved the pool areas but wish there could have been tables out in the pool area for card playing and eating. Most other ships have tables in the pool areas and we missed that. Out staterooms were excellent and well taken care of. Our dining room waiters were good and the food ok. We are not fish eaters so our choices were limited. I imagine for those who like fish, they were delighted. Would definitely sail again with Celebrity

It was beautiful and very clean. We loved the night entertainment and the glass blowing show was fabulous. The ports of call were incredible and they did a great job at tendering us into the ports. We loved this cruise and would highly recommend it to others.

I thought that the ship itself was great! It's a very nice ship. I enjoyed having a balcony room.

Very nice and clean. Was afraid of embarkation/debarkation procedures in such a large vessel, but was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency in handling these.
