Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

They kept running out of glasses and coffee cups in the buffet noise above the room on and off all night the bar service was terrible. Waiters were standing around watching shows instead of servicing the customers very disappointed.

Great experience , suggest to add more guided tours at Romo

is a good cruise, I was disappointed that they do not serve lobster in the dinner. I was not aware with the dress days so I was not prepared (white night, Caribbean night, I was only ready for formal night)

I don't think I would sail again on Oasis of the Seas. Over crowding was a real issue and detracted from the cruise. Meal ties were more like herding cattle. We traveled in May, I can only imagine how bad it would be in summer.

It was a good cruise because it crossed off may "have to see" items for me. The ship was the highlight of the trip in many ways and it's for that reason I have a positive review of this. Other than Rome and Florence, the other stops were just stops. Still, it's a trip worth taking if you're looking to add this part of the world to your experiences.

If you are looking for a fancy cruise ship this isn't it but that wasn't important to us. Staff was great, entertainment was great, food was mediocre

The itinerary of this tour was great. The ship is getting worn out, although the size is good. Food was okay, breakfast and lunch were boring after awhile. Staff is stretched thin, especially servers in the bars and pool areas. You may not see one! Overall, I was on a cruise and had a good time.

Fairly rapid, lengthy walk to get through terminal.

Great cruise. Very busy itinerary. Would do again.

We had an amazing time overall! However, there's nowhere else to share this: You NEED to update your system to allow parties of 10 people to book restaurants! It goes from 8 to 12 and 8 people only have late times available. We should NOT have to take time out of our cruise when we board to book these and we are paying way too much to be left out and unable to book ahead of time.

Overall, the ship is new and clean, instateroom is spacious. Staffs are nice and polite. Food and activities are very limited. Very limited announcements and most of the time I can't understand what they are saying in English from the announcements.

The ship was beautiful! Although it had a lot of rooms, the entertainment venues were not large enough to accomodate all of the guests. We were turned away several times and saw the same happen to other guests when seeking entertainment in the evening.

I would not recommend Costa Cruise line. Our room balcony was nice and our dinner service was great. John was wonderful. But Costa is very cheap. Even water and coffe are not included. They try and upsale you even at dinner. You get very basic food. If you are an American, stick with an American cruise line. There are not enough seats for everyone in Buffet. The lines are very long and the management staff do not help if you have a complaint. And the tours in Sardina and Genoa are not worth the money. Also watch your bill, they charge you fir items after you leave.

We have been on multiple Seabourn cruises so may have been harsh in this assessment as compared to our experiences on Encore & Ovation, but the service, attention, & food were less than satisfactory. This was picked for the interesting itinerary & past Seabourn experiences. Much of the itinerary was good but ports of call were variable and assistance at the docks non existent.

Was first time on Windstar sailing ship. Did other motorized ships from Windstar. Again staff, crew, very professional. Ship was clean and well taken care of. All dining venues were excellent. Had a wonderful time. Weather was perfect too. Cannot wait to go on another Windstar trip next year. Already booked.

This was the first time we cruised with Costa. We loved the itinerary and the ports. The balcony room was nice and we had smooth seas. Everything was laid out differently than the ships departing from the U.S. which made it harder to find the buffet and common spaces. Our main problems were with the excursions. The descriptions did not provide accurate information, especially about the the difficulty level. We had our 90 year old mother with us, and she had to skip parts of excursions, or get a cab back to the ship in two ports.

Fabulous cruise. No major issues. The captain had to reroute us one day due to weather, which led to a complete re-juggling of excursions. The staff did a good job of pulling this off. Would definitely cruise with Silverseas again.

We did not check the review of this cruise BEFORE booking. We should avoid this big ship with a crowd. We feel more comfortable with smaller ships and with more adult Americans fellow cruisers. We could have enjoyed the outdoor areas of this beautiful ship more IF there were less smokers were there. There should have specific designated smoking areas on the ship as Celebrity cruise lines do.

Really be careful on what you’re booking in advance because they’ll still try to upsell you and charge you for extra stuff later down the line there’s a hotels service charge every single day and room service is really bad. Bring your own water if you can because they charge really expensive for water on board and they do not offer any free water

We were very glad we went on this cruise. The room, food and shore excursions were outstanding. This is a great way to see the Mediterranean coast and take in all the beauty and history. We had never heard of MSC before but the price, dates and stops were just what we were looking for. There were some disappointments but we would do it all over again - perhaps without Palermo and when it was less cold and rainy but those things could not be helped. So, thank you to all the wonderful staff on board ship. You are all amazing.
