Great intro to Europe! by corywong7

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

We really enjoyed this cruise and thought it was a great way to get a taste of a lot of places. It was definitely a "go go go" kind of cruise as there was only one day at sea and we wanted to get off at every port.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon. Perfect cruise for relaxation. We really enjoyed ourselves. My wife kept saying over and over again, on how amazing the cruise was and how spoiled she felt on it.

Warning to all disabled by brookfieldbren

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Constellation / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Don't go if your disabled. Celebrity clearly actively discourages people with a disability by making it hard for them. Overbooked and understaffed.loved the pools and sauna

Nice by cajensen

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Jewel of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

We chose this cruise because of the ports of call the boat is not worth the money you spend on it but the places they stop are fantastic. We did a tour at every port and each one of them were wonderful. Be aware that Royal Caribbean will try to nickel and dime you out of every penny they can

Amazing Mediterranean itinerary by lpcampbell

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Poesia / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Overall a mm enjoyable trip but would take a different cruise like me next time. A very diverse group of cruisers and at dinner we were out with Italuans who spoke no English. Good could have been much better. Also may look at a smaller ship.

Fantastic vacation! The weather just perfect, and beautiful ports to explore the past history. by Cruiser14795542

Sail date: / Traveled as: Large Group
Ship: Norwegian Spirit / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

I'm not one a lot of words, but it was a great experience. The ship was well staffed and organized something very important for a cruise that long. The staff was very helpful, and had many activities available for us.The port excursions were fantastic. We are thankful to gone on this vacation. Thank you for your support groups on board.

A trip with a lifetime of memories by robinnbob

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Spirit / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

thanks for the memories. The ship was mainly a place to stay and eat. With 9 cities we were constantly on the go. Eating breakfast and dinner on the ship. We were impressed with all the staff. generally The food was average except for the specialty restaurants, they had the better food. Cruises in the past had better types of food in the main dinning areas, there was not a need to go to the specialty restaurants. Only one of the ports was a tender operation. 2 or 3 of the ports required you to be bussed from the ship to the main gate, this was slow.

Sea of people! Great itinerary, but way too crowded. by easteps

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

We loved the itinerary, and the cruise offered us a great opportunity to visit these ports. However, this cruise ship was too crowded, and the cruise line did not seem particularly adept at managing crowds. For example, when people were wandering around with food looking for a place to sit (buffets), a staff member should help direct guests to available seating. Also, the lines during crowded times should be managed in such a manner as to promote efficiency and discourage arguments between guests.

Most disappointing NCL cruise ever by cafejay

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Really said above - very disappointing as the passengers were as a rule rude and refused to followed posted rules and thecrew refused to enforce them.

Good size ship; Great ports; Fantastic Show; Wonderful experience would repeat this cruise. by BusyCruiser

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Civilized clientele. Guessing 50% Europeans (mostly British), 40% Americans and Canadians. 10% from other continents. Mostly couples and young families ages 30s-60s. Some young kids but not too many for an August sailing. I would do this cruise or a similar one again.

pleasant trip by llkone

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

Being a proponent of less populated cruises, I was pleasantly surprised. The only negative, while it really didn't impact us, was the limited number of deck chairs around the pool and the lack of umbrellas for shade. We found deck chairs removed from the pool area, up against a wall of the ship in the blazing sun. We lasted about 45 minutes and returned to our own balcony.

Excellent! by BethanneN

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Freedom of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

One of the best vacations we have been on. The ports are intersting and offered many beautiful choices. It is hard to just pick one thing to do, knowing you will miss other things. there are far more excursions available ship board than the ones offered on line. I recommend grabbing a few before you go and booking the rest as soon as you get on board Sunday.

good until the end by cookiedou68

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

The food and entertainment were great as well as the service we received from our room steward and the servers in the restaurant. however the service we received from the guest service desk left us embarrassed and angry for even asking for help.

A nice trip with a bad ending by annieeedou

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

It is generally a nice trip while my wallet was stolen the day before. Unknown in board or outside of ship since I was just left ship and be ready to get into the bus while I had found it was gone. Staff in ship think it was not happened inside, so, they believe it is normal. Anyway, they were not helpful and had never understand the issue. I believe they will understand it better if they were also stolen. Learning from expertise !!!

great sights to visit by lidanersesian

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: MSC Meraviglia / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

The amenities and ship were top notch. Food quality and variety needs improvements. should have a system that passengers can communicate with each other with telephone. When we didn't havce cell service,m it was difficult to find each other. a lot of time was spent walking around, looking for one another. The automated screens and tv system for reservations and booking was not too user friendly, glitchy ( would get stuck, not responsive) I wasn't able to check if all people in my party were included in reservations and none of the employees had access to help me. Spent too much of my leisure time on that.

Honeymoon Cruise by tuckerabbott

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

My wife and I took this cruise for our honeymoon, and we had an overall good experience. I had been to Europe previously but my wife had never been. The specialty food on board the ship was great, but the complimentary food left something to be desired. I wish we had more time to explore at each port (expect 30 minutes taken for both arrival and departure out of the overall time listed for each port). The excursions are great for inexperienced travelers, but if you're more experienced I would highly recommend exploring the destinations on your own.
