Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Amazing Spectacular and very romantic without all the fussing of planning

I transit the ship seemed shakey and unstable, quality and taste of food was poor, quality of stateroom and stateroom staff was good, entertainment was poor

Would highly recommend. PLEASE consider older people like us who would enjoy a ship library that is not in a smokey corner. With the fascinating ports and with clientele somewhat older, an historical library would be appreciated.

This was the first and last time I will sail on MSC cruise line.

Ship was everything I had hoped for and more. Service & staff were amazing. Ports of call, transportation, tours & tour guides were great!

Our servers were excellent. From Jerome the butler to Ronna our room assistant to our entire wait staff. From the bars to restaurant, they were great. The excursions were good but I would not consider a bargain, fairly expensive. We hired a private driver for the last port who not only drove us to Pisa roundtrip but took us on an extra 2 hr private sceneic tour to Cinque Terre, stopping for pictures and a roadside snack. It was less than a similiar Costa Excursion and exceeded our expectations . Overall the cruise was fun however it is doubtful I will venture again with Costa. $3000 for a balcony that we could hardly use due to the fellow guest who smoked on their balconies. And a negative experience where the customer service desk quoted us incorrect information about location and time available to pick up passports upon disembarking which caused avoidable stress.

Overall, I would rate this cruise 8+. I would rate this higher if the sit-down and specialty restaurant was better. Went to the steak house for steak, but other than the sliders the rest was bad (overcook). The new ship, activity and the show was almost perfect!!!

We chose Viking to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary because of the ports of call, the emphasis on culture and experience and the excellent ratings. In short, we were not one bit disappointed - everything lived up to or exceeded our expectations. The next day after arriving home, we pulled out our Viking brochure and began to dream about our next adventure. Very highly recommend!

This is the first ocean cruise for us with Viking. We have been on Viking river cruise twice. The ocean cruise is equally impressive. Large cabin, excellent food, and service. We’ll consider other Viking route in the future.

This was a first experience on a cruise holiday for my brother and I. We both had enjoyed sailing on Norwegian Spirit. The staff were friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable and sailing was smooth. However the ship’s announcements could not be heard while we were in our room.

One of the best cruises we ever did, the staff are very friendly and always try and succeed to fulfill your requests. Specially I would like to mention Mr Rodel Solis our waiter in the Windows dining room, remarkable level of service and always with a real smile.

This was our third cruise on NCL and they had a lot of ground to make up after the first one so I'd consider us good to go now. The staff in almost all cases were top shelf and the special dining, open dining/ Free style set up works very well - on the smaller ships (2,500 passengers) Not so much on the super size ships.

Our cabin was inviting and comfortable! They’re up to date on technology and that’s was great for us. The crew and staff exemplified good customer service, we are greatful for that.

great ship, awful staff and very little to do while on board.

We belatedly discovered the great cruise rate we paid was a hook to get people on board the ship. Be prepared to be nickel and dimed to death!!

Overall, It was a great experience. I highly recommend this cruise. November was an excellent time to take this too. The temps were cool and comfortable. The tourists were few, and crowds smaller at the must see locations. Just do it!

Food rates right up there with standard franchise dining out locations' Not good for people with walking problems,

Great fun was had by all! The staff and crew were wonderful. The food in the Haven is the best we have ever had.

Great selection! The offer to buy the beverage package was well worth it. The ship had so many activities available that it was hard to chose what to do! Also the dining, amazing menu on all restaurants. The staff was amazing as well.

38th anniversary cruise was so disappointing although the bad weather- flooding and 90 mph winds when we reached Livorno was not the ship's fault. I think Azamara could have done more to substitute/compensate than require you to book another cruise. The ship is too small for us; too little variety; too sedentary. But lovely staff and you are treated well. The special events are great and the food then is also. Otherwise not worth it.
