Europe - Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Lots of families with small children. Crew was not attentive. Incorrect billing on statement

I don't know how it could have been better. It seems Royal Caribbean thought of everything.

We had a great experience during our cruise. Dani, the person in charge of our stateroom was great, always available for anything we needed. Great job!

This was our first time sailing with NCL, we were impressed with most of the things that we had to compare to the line that we usually cruise with (red and blue winged ship stacks). Most things were comparable, but the food on our usual line was in our opinion superior. The drink package was one of our free at sea promotions and I would highly recommend the package, even on a port heavy cruise. The only stop that we did not care for was Palma De Mallorca, there was not a lot to do and did not really care for that stop. Other than that we had a great time.

The Bedbug issue was a big deal. They moved my daughter and her family to a new cabin, sanitized the room and all their belongings. They moved them back into the cabin. But is was three days out of the cruise for turmoil for all of us. They compensated me, because I had paid for all the cabins, $200 and a meal at one of their specialty restaurants. My daughter has come home to an allergic reaction to what ever they treated the room with. More than half the vacation pretty much ruined.

Took my son to Europe for two weeks as his graduation present. The cruise was half of the trip so we could get to more places. We are also used to cruises so it was the way to go. Cover more ground in a short period of time. Norwegian was fine. I am undecided if I will cruise with them again however. Food was just so-so.

Please, please, please get better musical talent. There were no acoustic, rock, or country performers. Everything, and I mean everything, was Latin. Please have some diversity and play something without a keyboard and a maraca.

Luggage was lost for five days which caused a lot of complications but the trip was well worth it. Beautiful ports of call, Ancient Olympia a must excursion. We plan to revisit Montenegro in the future as well!

Everything about this cruise was great. Our first time in Europe was made amazing by NCL and it's staff.

Wanted to acknowledge the wonderful help and guidance from Palma Gioeli. She was wonderful to work with and provided great assistance and follow up to make sure everything was covered, especially the discounts and such. Always concerned so our trip would be a success. Thanks Palma.

Highly recommend the Symphony of the Seas. Amazing ship that takes some time to get familiar with. Entertainment was AWESOME!

This was a great vacation. Overall the ports of calls were great. However I think an extra day at sea is needed to allow cruisers to rest and enjoy the ship. There were areas on the ship I did not get to see because we went out to see the different cities.

Our family had a great time. It was the first cruise for our kids so they were thrilled and had nothing to compare it to. The service was adequate, the ship was fun and had a lot of options, but compared to other cruises we have been on, I wasn't as impressed as I had been in the past. I don't know if that's the size and total number of passengers on the ship, the cruise line (this was our first cruise with NCL), or maybe the fact that it might take more to impress me than it did in the past. The wait staff and cabin attendant were fantastic. Overall I'd give the cruise 5 out of 5 stars for our kids, and 4 out of 5 stars for my wife and I. Things were great, but some small things could have been improved that would have been the icing on the cake.

We really enjoyed our trip! Definitely a trip to remember.

The worst cruise experience ever, I have sailed over 20 cruises with Royal, Carnival, 1 Costa and 1 MSC prior to this MSC. We had a good experience on the Poesia from Ft. Louderdale and thought this will be the same. 1. The food is the worse from any cruise ship we have been on. No steak, no Lobster, smelly shrimps, salty fish. 2. Never heard of WATER packages before, to pay for tap water is insane. The first thing they bring you at the restaurant is a jug of water with ice. Here you have to pay for water or carry a bottle with you that you can fill on deck and walk with it to the restaurant. This is a NO on any cruise. If you want you can pay for bottled water but for tap water at a restaurant is unacceptable. 3. The toilet did not flush correctly for the first 3 days on board, fixed at least 2 and worked on the 3rd time. The cabin steward was amazing though. He did everything he could do and the room was always clean and tidy. 4. No towel kiosks at the pool, you stay with your wet soaking towel till the end. New towels brought in to the room every night. 5. We thought it was a mistake to be in Mykonos from 8 pm to 3 am in the morning, instead of splitting the day/night between Santorini and Mykonos, and half day in Dubrovnik. It made more sense to skip Ancona where there is nothing to do and spend 1 full day in Santorini, Mykonos and Dubrovnik. It's a Italian port city and few people embark there. Horrible port of call. 6. Each announcement is in 7+ languages and to listen and sit thru that is just horrible, everyone complained, usually it's English and the ships own language here Italian, maybe add Spanish but not to have all these languages. No more MSC for me for sure and won't recommend this ship and itinerary to any one I know.

All the bartenders are rude and lazy except one Canadian bartender who only worked the back bar on the first evening. Food was just OK and the evening entertainment was really poor with the exception of the comedian. Basically it's Carnival Cruise experience with Princess prices.

Excursion choices at ports of call were pretty boring because ports of call except for amalfi and corfu were disappointing.

This Mediterranean Cruise has many spectacular and rich cultural ports to see. The ship, cabins and lounges are clean and nice. However, there are many things that can be improved by the cruise line. Customer Service was lacking, food was average and at times long wait lines and overcrowding during buffet, embarkation, pool areas etc.

I hope the cruise line will improve the receptionist department they are the front line of the cruise. They have to educate or give inservice to the staff customer service.

Amazing cruise! So happy I booked the excursion package, it made booking so much easier!
