Europe - Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Overall and EXCELLENT Cruise! Excursions were very interesting & historic!! Would we take it again? .... Absolutely YES!!!

Good experience on board a ship that is new and modern with all the electronics throughout the ship. Great to meet people from different parts of the world in one place. We were expecting to meet and greet the captain at our formal dinner and instead the meeting of the captain was an informal one at the center, main gathering with the captain and some of the first officers on stage. I would recommend a cruise on this ship for one trip. Compared to previous ships, it seems to me that people are packed into smaller cabins and sales appears to be the name of the game once you are on board. I would also recommend to research your ports before you take this trip and not rely on the MSC arranged port transportation as we found city buses that would take you to the main plaza was less than half the price of the MSC arranged transportation.

Our suite was lovely. Service was excellent. My husband loves Italian food, I love Italian music. I enjoy the European style, they change silverware between each course. Going suite class there are no hidden expenses. We thought is was a great value.

Our cabin was inviting and comfortable! They’re up to date on technology and that’s was great for us. The crew and staff exemplified good customer service, we are greatful for that.

Overall, ok. Wish we had more time at the stops to fully appreciate the islands. I didn’t care for Kotor.

great ship, awful staff and very little to do while on board.

We belatedly discovered the great cruise rate we paid was a hook to get people on board the ship. Be prepared to be nickel and dimed to death!!

Courteous, professional and helpful staff made passengers feel safe and welcome. Sailing was smooth even on a couple of windy days. Clean and well-equipped cabin -- even for a simple stateroom. Announcements (on TV channel, the daily news bulletin FreeSyleDaily, during the shows, and over the PA system) were prompt, accurate and crisp. Restaurants were good. It would be good to improve the variety of vegetarian menu items (beyond simply pasta). Buffet was of acceptable quality although it was quite busy at times. Many of the daily evening shows were of good quality and entertaining. The two shore excursions we took were superb -- prompt, well-organized, and featuring good guides -- albeit a bit pricey. Overall, it was a great experience for both of us. Photos by Alamelu, iReport

& Norwegian Spirit did a great job and will recommend to our friends and family.

This was a spectacular cruise but because there were basically no sea days it was a bit exhausting. Being in port each day and not wanting to miss anything meant no down time. We would love to see this cruise add 1 sea day in the middle to recourperate. On the flip side, wouldn’t have missed it for anything.

Overall, It was a great experience. I highly recommend this cruise. November was an excellent time to take this too. The temps were cool and comfortable. The tourists were few, and crowds smaller at the must see locations. Just do it!

ok. I did not like the food too salty. staff are very helpful especially the crew on the dinning area and in the buffet dining.

The itinerary brought me on this cruise. I was not disappointed. But having been on many Celebrity cruises, this cruise and ship did not seem to provide the entertainment or on board activities for at sea days that I expected.

Food rates right up there with standard franchise dining out locations' Not good for people with walking problems,

Food and service were great. The STAR is not a mega size (like the Breakaway class) such that getting on and off at the various ports is efficient.

Great fun was had by all! The staff and crew were wonderful. The food in the Haven is the best we have ever had.

Great selection! The offer to buy the beverage package was well worth it. The ship had so many activities available that it was hard to chose what to do! Also the dining, amazing menu on all restaurants. The staff was amazing as well.

Our shore experiences were great. Sorry we missed Kotor. NCL is ok but not my favorite. I feel they miss some of the small details that other cruise lines do better. Example - Pool towels are in your room but we had to take them off the cart since they were never left in our room. If you want room service it costs you money!

Extremely disappointed. They changed itinerary under the pretence of dangerous weather however, I not anyone else we meet could find any weather report to support the claim. Additional passengers got on ship the d day after we were suppose to set sail. We were credited 100 Euros for our disappointment. Really!! We traveled further than most passengers. Ruined honeymoon. Costa never again. Untrust worthy company.

38th anniversary cruise was so disappointing although the bad weather- flooding and 90 mph winds when we reached Livorno was not the ship's fault. I think Azamara could have done more to substitute/compensate than require you to book another cruise. The ship is too small for us; too little variety; too sedentary. But lovely staff and you are treated well. The special events are great and the food then is also. Otherwise not worth it.
