Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Beautiful ship with a lot to offer. Great ports of call on this trip.

We had a great time on our cruise. The entertainment and food were amazing! We will definitely cruise with Norwegian again.

We had a great time! Would definitely recommend this ship.

Having sailed on a smaller Windstar ship in the past we had high expectations. This ship was in dire need of repair. We had problems for 4 days on/off with toilet not working. Problems with water not being hot intermittently. Stateroom door lock took 3 different times to have someone repair the battery over two day period. The staff were certainly not to blame as they can only work with product they are given. We were given a $400 credit due to the toilet not working which was appreciated but would rather have had it work properly. I won't be sailing on another Windstar Cruise.

This was our second cruise with NCL, though I read some mixed reviews about the ship, the service and the food, I believe those were a little harsh. For such a large ship they did an excellent job with the layout of the ship to never make it feel crowded. We never had to wait at any of the restaurants or bars. In fact the bartenders (we noticed they rotated to different locations) would remember us, and know our drinks. The food was great, and we did not bother with the paid restaurants. We only ate at Manhattan, Taste, O'Sheehan (which was great when you just wanted pub fare) and the buffet. All the servers in the restaurants were very friendly as well. The entertainment was enjoyable. We saw all of the shows except for the Cirque show. We elected not to do this show as we'd rather put our funds towards excursions. The ports were fantastic. we did book our excursions through ItalyTours.EU, City Wonders and BarcelonaDayTours. I would recommend all 3 companies for their hospitality. I had read negative reviews about the rooms. When we book a cruise we know from experience we only sleep and shower in our room, so as long as its clean and the bed comfy we really don't care. When we got to our room I was shocked how big the room was. Talking with our steward we had been put in a handicap room that was considerably larger than the other cabins. Overall this was a trip of a lifetime!!!

Loved the fact we were at a port almost every day. We loved the ports Norwegian stopped at. The food was good and the people were nice on Norwegian.

It was highly offensive for the adult comedian "Paul Ogada" to insult Indian national anthem. His comments very highly derogatory. All our friends on the cruise are badly hurt and demand to take action against him. We are in the process of launching a campaign where we will request all our acquaintances to strictly avoid Royal Carribean, unless you confirm that some actions are taken in this regard.

Ship is beautiful, staff excellent, food average in restaurants, below average in the buffet

The itinerary was fantastic! Great way to see several countries. Oasis of the Seas is a beautiful ship but it does need a "facelift". You need to go back to us deciding on gratuities, the service has definitely changed since it is automatically 18% deducted.

I was a bit hesitant to cruise on such a large ship. I envisioned having to stand in long lines for everything, but it was the complete opposite. NCL logistics are terrific.

The cruise w over size shipas just excellent, the only thing I didn't like was the crowded

The cruise ship and experience was nice, the destinations were amazing which is why we took this cruise. However, the water temperature in our shower in our Mini-Suite was so finicky that at times it was difficult to shower. It was either scalding hot or just plain cold. Despite us mentioning it to the front desk 3 times and the plumber came out once. We never got our champagne that we were supposed to get for being latitude members despite us mentioning it twice. The entertainment shows were limited. They only had 2 shows. On our other NCL cruise we took in the past, had different shows every night and a variety.

Horrible cruise, not worth the money. Ill be writing to MSC Directly separately. Booking through AA.com was just fine - no issues at all.

We choose this cruise for it's itinerary. All was great except for Corsica. As far as we're concerned, we could have stayed onboard and had a better time. Overall it was a great cruise, great family get-away. Great friends, good food and great drinks.

We were very impressed with ship. The cabin design is spacious with lots of clothes Organizer. The food is excellent with healthy in mind. Every day there is different themes of the food region , for instance, tastes of Vietnam/Japan/Korea etc, but also have all traditional food to accommodate everyone. We even have 2 night raw oysters and others Sea food. Surf and turf and lots of different hot exotic fruits. The crew members were attentive , friendly and helpful in all aspects. We were really enjoying our time and will definitely taking HollandAmericaLine again.

Just wanted to give you some honest feedback about the trip It was the worse cruise we have ever been on. The ship itself was beautiful, food and drinks were great but the service was absolutely horrible from the Epic. There were so many administrative errors in terms of billing and credit card authorizations (including unauthorized charges to our rooms) that we had 3 families (rooms) spending at least 12 to 16 hours over at guest services correcting these errors. They absolute worse was my cabin was flooded the whole week resulting in mould! She had to take prednisone during the trip because her lungs were in very bad shape as a result of the moisture and mould. My other sister had to take out a round of antibiotics as soon as we left the boat and landed on Barcelona.  I don’t think I can ever recommend Norwegian or your agency going forward. Really disappointed that our families spent combined over 60K on this trip and we would have had a better experience on a 3 star cruise like carnival or a 5 star Mexican resort. Truly disappointed.  too much $$ spent on such a 1 Star travel experience.  I hope my parents (who celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary) are not as disappointed.  Regards  John Zagala Cell (416) 276

The Cruise was great and staff was friendly. The ship was clean with some activities for everyone. Not the fun ship but my overall experience was great. My very first cruise in the early 80’s was with NCL, had a great time then but one was even better. I would definitely cruise with NCL again.

It was a experience, albeit a whirlwind. Although the ship is in port almost 12 hours a day in most places, the actual excursion cities are quite a distance from the port (except Barcelona) giving you less time than you think to explore. Nevertheless, you will undoubtedly have an amazing experience and visit iconic and often once in a lifetime sites.

Great trip beautifull pleaces to visit, ship was great good food great service nice staff all over was a great vacation

The cruise was a great way to see lots of different cities. The food is better than most all inclusive we’ve been too. It didn’t feel crowded except the day at sea when everyone was on board all day. Chairs were harder to find unless you get up early.
