Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Good combination of ports and sea days. Loved Bilbao! Didn’t care for Vigo or Cartagena. Not much to do and shopping isn’t great there either. Ship was beautiful and crew was attentive!

We had a great time, very active, we saw a lot. The drink package was really nice and so was the specialty dining package.

, I was not late for the ship, but they would not let my 18-year-old daughter on the boat because she did not have the booster shot ( which there is nothing on the website or in any of the email pre-cruise say you must have just the 2 shots which she had, we had to go back to roam to get the shot $300 round trip) then had to fly to the 1st port to meet up with the boat another $300. and 170 for the hotel room for one night

Wonderful Cruise in a Suite. Large Ship with a lot of people and disorganized Shore Excursions depart.

Overall it was a good experience. If not with the delays in the final disembarkation and gangway issue it could have been perfect. Almost missed our flight

Being our first cruise ever we enjoyed it very much. If it is like that every time of the year we want to do more of it. We did not take any of their tours available just because we like to enjoy what there is todo and see in our own time and we did just that!!

Awesome cruise and excursions. The food was really good and our room was fabulous. The wifi cost was abusive so we just waited to get into port for good phone service. Why be on your phone anyway!! CAIO

What a wonderous cruise; with an amazing itinerary, attentive crew, and astounding ship, this week was simply a grand vacation.

best ship ever, plenty to do, the food was great, some of the excursions were too short. it took 2 hours of travel time and only 30 minutes of free time which is not enough to do anything. so you need to book the all day tours to feel like you actually saw the city.

It was a very good experience Ports were amazing and exciting

An excellent first foray into cruising. A few minor room issues and a canceled show, but otherwise amazing.

Wonderful 5-star experience. I will definitely travel on Silversea again in the future. Only looking at cruising on Silver Moon or Silver Dawn - the newest ships in the Silversea fleet. Onboard dining at Atlantide & La Dame were our favorites but all of the dining venues onboard were very good. Our butler was very helpful & professional. Silversea can improve communication to guests from the Cruise Director by emailing information on daily dress codes & daily classes or special events at least one month prior to embarkation.

Choose a different cruise line. MSC management seems to be out of touch with its crew and passengers.

Excellent Cruise beautiful ship. I would recommend Oceania without reservation.

Super well organized. Food was very good with many choices. Staff was very friendly. Would do it again for sure.

Overall, the friends and offboat food made the trip.

Nonstop 9-10 hr shore excursions. Early mornings until around 6 pm then maybe dinner and sleep to do it all over again. Too much to see and not enough time. 7 days 7 ports. Great trip but I should have stayed another week.

Oceania has about the best food and service of any cruise line. The Riviera is a wonderful ship that is large enough to not lack important amenities without being too large. We simply won't cruise on ships carrying more than 1,500 passengers to avoid feeling like cattle in a roundup. The itinerary took us to so many islands we might not otherwise be able to visit. The staff, all the way up to the cruise director, were wonderful. One noteworthy exception was the Concierge on Deck 5, who was at best useless and at worst condescending. But don't let that detract from what was otherwise an outstanding cruise.

WE LOVED IT FROM THE MOMENT WE GOT ON TO THE MOMENT WE GOT OFF. EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING, GUESTS WERE HAPPY AND SOCIAL, FOOD WAS AMAZING

Overall, loved this cruise. Ports of call were fun - just never enough time to do everything. Very nice having the shuttle buses available to take us into town. A couple of minor points - the safe in the room was too high up and was difficult for short people and at one of the port stops the shuttle bus changed its pickup location but never told anyone - I thought we were going to be stuck in Marseille.
