Europe - Northern Europe Cruise Reviews

The atmosphere on the Brilliance of the seas was the same as most other cruise ships we have been on. The staff were friendly and helpful and the staterooms, dining areas and other public areas were adequate.

It was a wonderful Cruise, I seriously belive the Internet situation and the Wi-Fi needs to be resolved. I paid for 20 Times the Actual time I used on the Internet PC workstations. There is definitely something wrong with the Internet System and its provider. This left a very bad taste on my entire Cruise Experience and jus for an amount that is not so much financially, however the whole feeling of it was not good.

Ships staff and crew were very friendly and helpful. I've always found this true of Princess cruises.

Totally unimpressed. Ship is old and needs renovation. Dead bugs on balcony.

Nice clean ship, well organized, clean, very polite and fun crew. Lots to do, or nothing if thats what you want

Someone once told me that Norwegian was a rank below the other lines. We have sailed Royal, Princess, Holland, and Carnival. I found it to be wonderful. The ship, staff, food, and entertainment were as good as if not better than other cruises. The itinerary to Scandinavia meant it was the trip of a lifetime. Can't think of anything negative to say. The buffet was what you would expect and not any different than the other cruise lines. Plus the price we paid was hundreds less!

wonderful ship. Great facilities for any activity.

The ship was always in excellent condition, everything was always very clean. The crew were friendly, helpful, remembered our names and in the bars they remembered our drink preferences. Food services was generally very good.

Seven night Norwegian Fjords cruise is a very beautiful and relaxing cruise. For people cannot walk too much, the cruise ship takes you through the natural beauty and strength of Geiranger Fjord, and Sognefjord. For active people, it is too much fan to hike, and kayak.

Ship was in good shape even though it's scheduled for drydock. Simon was the best as our room steward. Beckey and Nunni spoiled us in the suite lounge

The ship itself was wonderful. It was in great condition and the rooms were very comfortable. The food quality was not great and we had to buy our coffee and water for dinner, which was weird. The wi-fi they promised was horrible and we had to pay for it anyway. The entertainment was very nice, but some of the shows got repetitive.

THE STAFF WAS AWESOME! YOU BETTER BE IN SHAPE LOTS OF WALKING AND LONG DAYS. I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. BERLIN IS TOO LONG OF A DAY WITH A TRAIN RIDE 3 HOURS EACH WAY. NOT CHEAP EITHER. NICE CITY. NO COMPLAINTS AT ALL WITH NCL. THEY REALLY CARE! I WOULD DO IT AGAIN.

This was my second cruise on this ship and one of the most enjoyable I have taken. What the Vision lacks in amenities, are overshadowed by the fantastic service.

An older ship, but nicely maintained. The ship has plenty of public spaces and never seemed crowded (other than the queue waiting for the dining room doors to open each evening). There was always a show in the theater each evening - worth the visit. There were activities during the day but most of the "lectures" were barely disguised sales pitches for either shore excursions or other products offered by the ship (spa, salon). Do you really need an acupuncturist on board a cruise ship? Teeth whitening services?? Really?? Biggest complaint is the never-ending sales pitches. RCCL cabin rates are often a great deal. I would suspect they barely make a profit on the rooms alone. But most things are "extra cost" and that is where RCCL makes their money. Average wines at overly-inflated prices. Specialty coffees, sodas, fresh juices - all extra. Use of the gym is free, but yoga or pilates or other "specialty" classes - extra. Shore excursions are quite expensive for what you get - but sometimes it is the only option to see things. In the fjord towns, sometimes just walking around the town is all you really need to do. Onboard ship activities were mostly free but some had fees attached. I did splurge on an expensive spa treatement - the Thai Poultice Massage, and it was really quite wonderful. Also - gratuities are automatically added to all services - in the spa and in the dining room. So tack on 15% when calculating the costs of spa services, bar, coffee shop and dining room (even purchasing the ship's cookbook, which you can only get from your wait staff, came with an additional 15% tacked on). Would I cruise RCCL again? Maybe. I'd have to get a much better deal on my stateroom so as to make up for all the additional costs that occur during the cruise.

The ship was clean and the staff was amazingly friendly.

Even though older, the ship is kept up pretty well. It was clean and decorated nicely.

The ship was great with a wide variety but moreover the staff made the big difference. Clean, well maintained, safety first, great staff.

This cruise value is ok, but you get what you pay for

The crew were wonderful. The history, towns and tours will be always remembered.

Great ship. Professional crew in every dept.
