Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

We've been on many cruises with other cruise lines. The Onward gave us such great service, food, entertainment, and comfort. With almost everything we wanted included ( wine, beer, some drinks, and sodas ) we definitely got our moneys worth without being "nickel and dimed" all the time. We will plan another Azamara cruise soon

The cruise was lovely, we met a lot of nice people. Food was good, specialty dining was very good. I suggest a drink upgrade package if you enjoy top shelf beverages and wines.

I would just like to compliment Diane and Dudley Bennett () for their professional, efficient, friendly, and the amazing job they did in putting together my cruise from Lisbon to Italy. They have been extremely responsive to assist with all my needs and concerns with regard to past, present, and future cruises as well.I already booked another cruise for 2024. Thank you again for all your help and support.

Many older adults. Less than 10 kids on this cruise. White night was fun. Enjoyful trip for me and my wife.

We went on this cruise for the ports, not the overall experience which matched most other reviews. Out of 2000 passengers along with my wife and I a couple of sisters at our dinner table also contracted COVID on the cruise. The third couple did fine. We only saw the sisters at dinner, did not sit close or exchange food, drinks, etc. Funny that we were the only four that got COVID, and we were all vaccinated with boosters. One nice thing, if you are going to be quarantined for the last 48 hours of a cruise they put you in a balcony room and include free room service. 😎

We were with a group of 10. We all had a lot of fun together. Sumedh went above and beyond to help arranging what we would do each day. We cannot say enough about how great he was! The entire crew were always friendly and tried their best, we just felt like they might be overworked due to current lack of help. On the other hand, the ship nichols and dimes you to death. A lot of restrictions on the “free packages “. Also internet is extremely hard to access. If you are expecting Vegas style entertainment, don’t take this cruise. It was fun, but not our best NCL experience

I would not go on this cruise again with MSC. The ports are not walk off friendly and the food quality on MSC was just awful.

I love the shows but there were basically only 4 shows, the magician had 4 shows. The crew were the best. Loved the Bistro for dinner on Valentine’s Day. But had I not brought decorations for my door and candy for the crew, you would not have known it’s Valentine’s Day Tips went up to $20 a day pp Was not made aware and the mandala spa increased their prices. Basic 50 min massage was $199 plus 20 % gratuity All in all. We met nice people.

This was my first cruise. I was astounded at the service and the ship. Easy to get around and the food was great. We used the Yacht Club. Fine dining for all three meals. Music and a lounge in the evening. Beautiful views from the front of the ship. A butler attends to your every need. Room cleaned twice a day. The staff helps you get on and off the ship. The room was great. Everyone was so nice!

You have to pay for too much add on that should be included in the cruise price like other cruise lines. You want get anybody to cruise a second time with you if don't do like the competition.

Don’t waste your money on this cruise. There is much better out there.

The itinerary including the Canary Islands and Morocco was the reason we chose this as our 3rd Mediterranean cruise. The NCL Sun ship is older, dirty, and below expectations in terms of cleanliness, food, and entertainment.

Nice, overall except that we docked too.long in some of the ports with nothing much to do and short stay on ports with a lot of attractions.

Not what I was expecting from NCL, this was more like a Costa cruise, not sure what caused the issues. I'm thinking a combination of it being an older ship, going out of unsupported ports (not local to NCL, with less logistical support) and lack of a full or health staff was the cause of our disappointment with this cruise.

MSC provided a good value for the price. The ship is well-maintained and the staff is friendly. The food is good.

This was our first cruise, and Viking made it so special it wont be our last. As a matter of fact, we booked our next Viking Ocean Cruise while on board.

The ports were excellent, the Ship and overall onboard experience was terrible.

Excellent cruise for the ports of call, lots of full days off the ship which was nice. The ship is well appointed and they do a great job of entertaining and keeping you engaged if you would like to be. The rooms are sizable and clean. Great value for the money. Only complaint was the lack of options for food and drink. The standard dining was not very good.

In the Dining Room, food was not tasty at all. In the buffet restaurant, we had to line up for everything, tea, coffee, water. The type of bread has not changed anywhere for the 7 days, the buffet had different pastas daily which are all the same taste.

Good price for a Mediterranean cruise. Loved the stops. Food on MSC is pretty good but their desserts need work. Staff is good. Amazing the ability to converse in so many languages.
