Europe - Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Cruise was just close to perfect in my opinion. We did end up getting sick with a cough which put a bit of a damper on the trip but still was amazing and will definetly be sailing with MSC again.

The 8 of us loved the whole experience except for the service received at Guest Services - Infinity desk. I was waiting patiently in line and 3 people walked up to the counter and were taken care of immediately. The desk clerks should have told the 3 people that they need to get in line. Bad service.

Overall, the Cruise exceeded our expectations. It was a memorable cruise and we would re-book. We appreciate Janet for her guidance and for arranging a show with the package. Thank you for your guidance and help. We loved it.

Amazing Spectacular and very romantic without all the fussing of planning

I transit the ship seemed shakey and unstable, quality and taste of food was poor, quality of stateroom and stateroom staff was good, entertainment was poor

Would highly recommend. PLEASE consider older people like us who would enjoy a ship library that is not in a smokey corner. With the fascinating ports and with clientele somewhat older, an historical library would be appreciated.

This was the first and last time I will sail on MSC cruise line.

Pizza and room service should be free like every other cruise line.

Enjoyed all the ports, but would have liked a chance to tour Venice (embarkation city). Croatia was faascinating

Ship was everything I had hoped for and more. Service & staff were amazing. Ports of call, transportation, tours & tour guides were great!

yes it was wet. it was November but it was not cold and you can still enjoy the sights and the ship was great.

Great time with upbeat animation crew! Beautiful ports of call. The shows were awesome!

Our servers were excellent. From Jerome the butler to Ronna our room assistant to our entire wait staff. From the bars to restaurant, they were great. The excursions were good but I would not consider a bargain, fairly expensive. We hired a private driver for the last port who not only drove us to Pisa roundtrip but took us on an extra 2 hr private sceneic tour to Cinque Terre, stopping for pictures and a roadside snack. It was less than a similiar Costa Excursion and exceeded our expectations . Overall the cruise was fun however it is doubtful I will venture again with Costa. $3000 for a balcony that we could hardly use due to the fellow guest who smoked on their balconies. And a negative experience where the customer service desk quoted us incorrect information about location and time available to pick up passports upon disembarking which caused avoidable stress.

Overall, I would rate this cruise 8+. I would rate this higher if the sit-down and specialty restaurant was better. Went to the steak house for steak, but other than the sliders the rest was bad (overcook). The new ship, activity and the show was almost perfect!!!

We chose Viking to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary because of the ports of call, the emphasis on culture and experience and the excellent ratings. In short, we were not one bit disappointed - everything lived up to or exceeded our expectations. The next day after arriving home, we pulled out our Viking brochure and began to dream about our next adventure. Very highly recommend!

This is the first ocean cruise for us with Viking. We have been on Viking river cruise twice. The ocean cruise is equally impressive. Large cabin, excellent food, and service. We’ll consider other Viking route in the future.

This was a first experience on a cruise holiday for my brother and I. We both had enjoyed sailing on Norwegian Spirit. The staff were friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable and sailing was smooth. However the ship’s announcements could not be heard while we were in our room.

Very good itinerary and ports were interesting and varied. Weather in November was unpredictable, but lack of crowds in most major tourist areas more than made up for the spotty rain or scattered showers we encountered. Our guide in Pompeii said we visited on the least crowded day he had ever seen! Same for San Marino (excursion from port of Ravenna). Would highly recommend travelling in off season!

One of the best cruises we ever did, the staff are very friendly and always try and succeed to fulfill your requests. Specially I would like to mention Mr Rodel Solis our waiter in the Windows dining room, remarkable level of service and always with a real smile.

This was our third cruise on NCL and they had a lot of ground to make up after the first one so I'd consider us good to go now. The staff in almost all cases were top shelf and the special dining, open dining/ Free style set up works very well - on the smaller ships (2,500 passengers) Not so much on the super size ships.
