Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

I hope Celebrity Edge will make some of the small recommendations I listed above. It seemed to be shared by other guests also during my cruise.

Nice new ship, good selection of dinning and high end wines. Stay away from Magic Carpet and Le Bistro

The Disney cruise provides the best entertainment of all. Great time and wonderful crew!

Wonderful Cruise, loved Rome & Barcelona the best. The ship was beautiful, the food just fair (could have been better) Entertainment was very good. Love Royal Caribbean! Your representatives are the best!

I would like to rate it higher, but honestly, the horrible rendering experience in Villefranche-sur-Mer really was so disappointing that it brought the entire experience down. To make matters worse, it was the last day of the cruise so it is what my kids remember more clearly.

You do this cruise because of the ports not because it is a great ship. The ship was just ok. We traveled on the Epic in the Caribbean several years ago and you can see that the ship has become a bit dated. The ports were excellent but make sure you have plan in advanced your excursions. We did not do this for a few ports and did not have great experiences. In Mallorca we planned to do the Hop On Hop Off bus but there were literally 75-100 people in line to get on the bus so it would have taken over an hour. We ended up using a taxi to tour and they charged $120 euros for 2 hours. Most of the excursions are expensive and you have to travel significant distances because of the nature of these European ports but the experiences were incredible.

Super fun trip. I would have liked one more sea day just for relaxation. Holland is a great cruise line - I highly recommend. This particular cruise had lots of ports so it was very fast paced. We spent a few days in Rome on the front and back end, I would recommend this so you can enjoy this beautiful city a little more, not enough time otherwise.

Overall good experience on NCL. Wonderful ports of call. Ship excursions costs could have been more reasonable.

Loved the ship and loved the itinerary. The Haven is really wonderful and wouldn't go any other way.

If you're looking for a relaxing cruise where you get good food, good service, a nice view, and avoid an extra fee at every turn, look elsewhere. This is not the cruise for you. The facilities seemed run down, staff was not very pleasant, the app for your phone was almost worthless when looking up schedules and making service reservations. Overall, not recommended. Royal Caribbean will not be our cruise line of choice. If given another option, we would select another cruise line.

We have cruised on other cruise lines in the past and we were expecting NCL to be better than the other lines we have traveled with. This was not the case. NCL was average at best. We probably won't cruise with NCL in the future. We seemed like a number and was treated as such.

Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Would recommend to everyone.

Great time with family and friends! Great memories and fun times with ship crew (Panji and Rame). Fantastic Experience!

The entire cruise was ruined when i got of the cruise to get my luggage and one piece of my Daughters (Alecia Verrone Cabin 12031) Luggage was missing with all the souveniers and her Mac Pro. Claim filed but no response, very disapointed.

Beautiful ship, great staff and service! The evening shows were beautiful but no variety. The entertainment staff very good but the activities were limited. I did not enjoy having kids running around in the bars casino and on the dance floors after 10! No adult section. Kids in the zen pool area all the time !!!

I liked the cruise as a whole. There were moments like the shore excursion in Barcelona that made me feel like I will never do an excursion again. I felt the staff was amazing and tried hard to make us have a good time. I felt that parents did not always watch their children and there should be more rules regarding children's noise levels and running in the halls- curfew I believe was around 1am so the children in the room next to us and two doors down would run and scream in the halls around 10:30pm and wake us up which was not ideal. It was not relaxing in that respect for Child-less adults due to the sheer amount of unsupervised children, but the only thing royal Caribbean can do is place more rules regarding noise and running and parents supervising children. The curfew should have been earlier as well. Royal Caribbean can improve on having more friendly and knowledgeable shore excursion attendants who will check with others if they are not sure of an answer instead of guessing. It was also quite crowded on the boat often times and it would take a bit to stand in line for food at places such as sorrentos or cafe promenade. Windjammer was also very difficult to eat at (no place to sit or long lines and popular dining options being unavailable) during popular dining times due to everyone trying to make the shows. Other than that, I liked the staff a great deal and the entertainment. The dining room food was great and it was a good cruise.

Great ship and itineary. Highly recommended. Independence of the Seas moving to Caribbean, may be another ship for this cruise next year.

I will never book another Norwegian cruise EVER. The food was only mediocre, which is a big part of what you are purchasing on a cruise. You could work around this by only going to the specialty restaurants, but they were also so disorganized, it was ridiculous. They shut off our water two nights of the cruise, and one morning no cabins had hot water for hours. They also only had some of the great attractions open for 1-2 h a day, mostly while you were off the boat. I was at the service desk virtually every day of the cruise figuring out something (dinner reservations, bill discrepancies, etc.) that seemed wrong. While they did not succeed in ruining my vacation, it was only because I decided to rise above these things and enjoy myself regardless. Positives: We went to every port of call as expected. The drink package was excellent and not confusing. My son really enjoyed being on a cruise and the kid's activities. My husband won some money in the casino. Negatives: We waited for things a lot on the cruise. The food was cafeteria/Max and Erma's/TGI Friday's quality at best. Information was shared very poorly on the cruise and very little went smoothly.

The cruise & ports we disembarked was a trip of a lifetime for me as I shared it with my son, daughter-in-law, & two granddaughters. I had never been on a cruise before & it exceeded all my expectations. The overall customer service was exceptional! Enjoyed the total experience. Each port we visited offered many things to see and we enjoyed them all. Cinque Terre was probably my favorite.
