Europe - Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

World wind tour of a lifetime. The ports and excursions were well worth the trip, though I would not sail this particular cruise line again. I recommend taking time after the excursion, which are usually only 4 hours or so and tour the cities on your own to get away from the commercial aspects.

We really enjoyed this cruise but experienced cold weather and rain for the first two itinerary stops in France and Italy. Ports of call were excellent as was the ship and amenities. We loved that MSC honors previous cruisers status from other cruise lines or hotel or airline status.

WE ONLY WISH TO SAY THAT WE WERE REALLY SATISFIED WITH THIS CRUISE EXPERIENCE, THIS BEING OUR 4TH NCL CRUISE. ANYWAY, IN CASE OF A FUTURE NCL CRUISE WE WOULD SELECT A VESSEL NOT AS OLD AS THE SPITIR.

We had a fabulous time on the ship and at each port. This is a great cruise to both relax and explore. I would recommend that if you love history or are looking for an exciting vacation, do this cruise while you're young. As young adults, we came back from each port exhausted. There is so much to see and most of the old towns you visit require a lot of walking - and walking on uneven steps and cobblestone streets. I also believe we got lucky with the time of year. We went during the first two weeks of November which resulted in fewer crowds and lower prices at flea markets. If each port was filled with another 6,000 people, I believe my review would probably be a bit different. I would highly recommend this cruise to others!

Great ports, very nice, well-apportioned room - somewhat ruined by completely incompetent and unhelpful customer service/guest relations and difficulties in the dining room.

The internet is horrible, you waste at least half your time waiting for stuff to refresh and NCL could not care less- in fact it's to their benefit as you end up having to purchase more time. And the Optional restaurants are just ok, we never had a great meal and these Optional restaurants are in addition to the meal plan we purchased. I would never cruise NCL again-- it was a 2.5 star experience at best. many people on board said the same thing and they are cruise savvy-- they say try RC. And their Medical facilities/personel are not US certified Doctors. Probably common on cruises, but our treatment for my wife was less then adequate

Wonderful cruise . Would advise to book before October sailings. Take comfort clothing and shoes. Be prepared for a large amount of knowledge and appreciation along with being somewhat overwhelmed. Take lots of photos, you will appreciate them when you catch your breath.

We really enjoyed the EPIC cruise. My son had previously sail this same itinerary and had highly recommended it. He was right!!! Everything was great. Food, drinks, entertainment and ports made this vacation awesome.

Overall dated but very well kept ship. Staff for the most part are amazing but many ancillary services (Guest Services: Poor) not living up to customer focus.

Our dining experience was great and the ports of call are very good. Halloween night was incredibly fun too. Other than that, there is much to improve on this cruise ship. I'm glad I had a chance to visit these ports, but wish I had chosen a different cruise line.

Brillance of the sea is no more. Ship is dated. Better entertainment is needed and a diversity of food as well. The photographers only has three poses. I bought the package and all my pictures have the save three poses. My picture are three quarters by beautiful shoes were cut off. What a disappointment

The Marina was our first cruise experience and we could not be more pleased with our cruise. The itinerary was perfect with each stop thrilling and beautiful. The entire experience was 5 star!

Overall it was a great experience. The cruise allows you to see a lot of Europe and explore what you might want to go back to. We love the cruise experience b/c it also allows one place to unpack rather than living out of a suitcase for the week.

A great itinerary starting in Venice and ending up in Barcelona with just 2 sea days which were used to rest from the port intensive cruise. The food was fine with some meals being better than the others, but all were fine.

For me and my wife, the best part of this cruise was our stateroom. The size of the room, the comfortable bed and a good size bathroom with two separate sinks made our trip very pleasant. Greatly appreciated the complementary upgrade.

This was our second sailing on this ship. High level of service overall. Not completely consistent, however. Ship needs an update from top to bottom! Looks tired and dated. Gym was in terrible shape; equipment not working, vinyl coverings torn, no video or TV working. Poor/limited wifi service offered. Sailed with another couple so the much older population didn't bother us. May sail again after the expansion and update this spring. We'll see what the offers look like and what real updates are done.....

We had a fabulous time. Ports were everything we hoped for. Ship was nice, food in main dining room was good, service was ok, specialty resturants not worth the money. Entertainment excellent, Sue and her team excellent. Ship itself and facilities not quite as nice as other ships we have been on.

Cruise ship is very comfortable and the weather was exceptional. Our suite was good and the cafes and restaurants were good. The ports along the Adriatic coast are interesting and well worth a visit. As always, due to departure times, it is not possible to spend as much time as desired in most of the ports. We have sailed on other cruises which offered more appealing theatrical entertainment and classes on topics such as Microsoft photo software.

We chose this cruise based on the itinerary and not the cruise line. The ship needs a desperate update and maintenance. The staff needs more training and work on consistency of standards.

Love this cruise line, especially the food and staff! Every port gave me a great experience. The perks from Norwegian are a great incentive for loyal customers. Can't wait to plan our next one!
