Europe - Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

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.

40% of our excursions / ports either missed what they described, we disappointing or were cancelled. Staff on the ship were great except for the destination services team (to many issues to expand on but they would get zero stars.) Food was decent however for the price paid, we would have expected better.

Enjoyable cruise. However, food was subpar compared to previous cruises. P

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.

Cruise was great. There was a paperwork error at the beginning which turned into a huge headache. Once we finally got that cleared up, I could enjoy the remainder of my cruise. It was GREAT to finally travel abroad again and put all my worries behind me for a few weeks in the most beautiful part of the world.

Nicest cruise we have ever taken! We have booked another, and plan to do another in 2024. We don't need to try other cruise lines, Seabourn is perfect for us.

The crew definitely made this cruise unforgettable with all the attention to detail. I will continue to travel on Royal Caribbean.

My wife and I went on the most amazing cruise as a belated honeymoon. The ESCAPE is top-notch.

we had a good time on the cruise. we got to see a lot of interseting sites and learned a great deal of history. we were disappointed that the weather was not good enough to get us into Mykonos. the tour we had in Santorini was very poor and very rushed. there was nothing special about our upgraded cabin and service was minimal. the upcharges on drinks was in very poor taste and mis-managed. i think i was told i had to pay an additional $1.40 for a shot of Crown Royal on several occasions. do you really need the $1.40 for Crown? and i do believe that Crown was on the list in the drink pkg i purchased. a couple of visits to customer service were met with long lines and surly customer service reps. i had to wait for almost an hour to cash in $70 worth of casino chips. i didn't hear the announcement that the casino wasn't going to be open the last night of the cruise and maybe i get that but why wouldn't open up the cashier just for that, i know i wasn't the only one that missed that announcement??? the cruise was mostly nice but those few things that were unexpectedly annoying will most likely push me back to Royal Caribbean. so scrolled down to finish the survey and you have my overall rating as a 4.1 out of 5??? i would give it a 3 at BEST

I really enjoyed the staff (with a few exceptions) and was grateful for the experience! We laughed and relaxed and got to see some beautiful places. It was not the best food and there were a lot of unexpected charges, but I'm grateful I did it.

I was able to relaxed as a professional staff pampered me kindly and without fuss. They just wanted me to enjoy myself!

The cold food at the early dining, the constant payments for shuttle buses and terrible tender experience made it a below par trip. The Sardegna stop was a reason we liked the itenirary but that was cancelled. I have traveled with Royal before and that trip was a great experience.

This was the best vacation of our lives! We will be back!

Average ship, itinerary was amazing to visit Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. Other areas of Israel to visit too. Turkey was also impressive. Apart from Greece ports the other ports were average.

It all was great but we found all drinks Very expensive plus the included tips were high. The ship was great but Not as nice as others we have cruised on Service and crew were Just Great they deserve great ratings (. All of them )

Wonderful. Weather was too hot. Got dizzy and sick while going to island excursion. Did not like twnders

Excellent service, amazing ship. The ports were great, except the distance to Florence. I would recommend this cruise.

Great places to visit. Very comfortable , clean, all included good deal.

The cruise was fine and a great time to share with our family. However, did not include the drinks package as requested (phone call proved it was requested, thank goodness for taped calls). Had to pay for each drink and be asked EACH TIME if we were aware we did not have the drinks package. After seven days this got old. Some people actually asked if we could afford to pay for the drinks. After nearly two hours on the phone with , this is during the cruise while my family was trying to get ready for dinner, I was told that the matter would be investigated. Two days later, did the right thing and acknowledged their mistakes, but I needed to send in the drinks bill and wait (and hope) for reimbursement. Very very annoying.

Wonderful cruise with incredible crew and services. Captain was great and informative about all the parts of his ship.
