Europe - Northern Europe Cruise Reviews

Wonderful ship with fabulous itineraries. If you don’t take the tours, you are missing exceptional experiences.

It was a good itinerary. We had not been to this area before and plan to go back, especially to Stockholm. The cruise staff was great. Daniel, the cruise director, was funny and engaging. The ship needs some maintenance but it didn't affect our enjoyment.

Celebrity has maintained their high standards post pandemic, and a lot of the other lines (NCL especially) have not. Would recommend and sail again on a Celebrity Cruise.

Super itinerary. Only one day at sea. Be prepared to spend much of your time off of the ship and doing a significant amount of sightseeing Food good, not outstanding. Great sized cabins.

The ports gave passengers a view of the Scandinavian countries, as well as Estonia and Germany. The ship was comfortable and provided passengers many options to fill their time onboard. There are a few ports that I would most certainly want to revisit!

Excellent route and nice ship. Drinks were excellent. Food very only at the specialty restaurants. Food at the garden cafe poor. Poor quality and variety.

Great cruise. Bad ship Needs alot more signage to deal with poor design.

The ports where the stand out of this cruise. The ship and staff are less stand out. We encountered some rude staff. Took forever and was a hassle to get our on-board credit. The food was bland and no variety. This ship old and the app stop working. The activities on the ship were non existent. Only saving grace was Ice Bucket the ship’s rock band. Lastly, it was very disappointing to book a cruise where a destination is advertised later to find out that port is canceled without announcing a reason why.

The views and scenery of the ports that we visited are magnificent. The ship is very stable, even in a rough sea (just one night between Norway and Scotland.) The ship is relatively new and clean, and is a good size (not so large and not so small) for efficency (of going onshore and coming back) and variety of activities (shows, and etc.)

Great cruise. The staff is fabulous. The ship is beautiful. The itinerary was gorgeous. We’re staying on the ship for two more cruises. Nobody has a breakfast and lunch buffet like Celebrity!

Very nice, great ports. The staff were friendly, hard working people. They actually anticipate a person’s needs and take care of them.

The ship entertainment, activities, and the food were all pretty awful. This was my first experience with NCL and will be my last because I don’t want to risk another very boring crappy experience. I will stick with Royal Caribbean.

Overall we had an excellent time. No real issues except for lack of entertainment in comedy and theater shows. We usually big fans of the howl at the moon piano group, but the ones on this trip really awful like super amateur.

Overall we were happy with the cruise experience which would have been better with a few tweaks as previously stated.

The cruise itinerary is overwhelmingly the best thing about this cruise. The ship has its deficiencies . Don't think I would use the Prima again. Service and staff A+. Ship and especially cabin design is C-. Tipping policy on drink and food packages is exorbitant! Passenger tipping at $20 per person per day is approaching deal breaker status.

We were disappointed with the Shore Excursions especially we are paying so much monies and not sure how much quality control NCL performs once the local tours are outsourced. They lacked using Sound Enhancing equipment such as Whisper Boxes etc to ensure the patrons are able to listen to the Tour Guide not everyone can walk at their speed and given the fact there is limited space one can walk in tandem with the Tour Guide this should never have been an issue that we should raise. The Airconditoning system on bus in Bergen was not working in a bus full of people and 81degrees Farenheit this was really bad. I would like my monies back. As a matter of fact I was really happy with Shore Excursions Group I used for 2 of my local tours. Also our trip Polar Flight to Grimsey was literally cancelled last minute we were scrambling to get another local tour. It was frustrating.

This was a first cruise and I'm not sure how we could ever top it. We met wonderful people on board and off. It was amazing how we did not overhear and mean, cruel words, people seemed to get along and remembered its a vacation enjoy as much as you can. There was never a lack of things to do even if it was find a quite place to relax and nap.

Our Tep CATT was very helpful with all aspects of our cruise - booking, as well as all f/u questions.

This was a great itinerary, the Scottish highland and Islands were extraordinary, the Isle of Man was very eye opening and is a beautiful place and we loved Norway, even places we had been before we did other things. Our weather was exceptional for the time of year, completely smooth seas and the ship is beautiful. We loved spending time before and after in Amsterdam, the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum always on our list, but also walking the beautiful parks and hanging out is small jazz pubs as night. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. And the Rotterdam is a very beautiful, well run ship.

Although this cruise to Norway was in early May, we were blessed with sunshine and fairly warm temperatures. Actually, the cool air was better for the many excellent walking adventures offered at port.
