Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Everything about this cruise was great. The entertainment was over the top. Hiro,ice show and Hairspray were unbelievable productions. Very happy with the whole experience.

This was a trip of a lifetime. Everything was great. My only criticism is that we could have used more time in each port. You really do need to book tours because there is very little to see in any of the actual ports. The ports themselves are mainly industrial.

Amazing ship. Wonderful staff. Fantastic food.

My husband and I had written off cruises based on our past experiences of feeling nickled & dimes to death, but with Crystal Cruises, it truly is all inclusive and the service is excellent! We were also impressed with the food on our cruise. We were very impressed with the overall experience and will likely be cruising with them again in the future!

We ( my cousin and I) had a fabulous time. The staff of the cruise were very friendly and helpful. Our dinner was great. Voltaire our waiter and his assistant were entertaining. Our cabin steward was friendly. Our cabin was always immaculate. The entailment hosts were wonderful. The staff in general were great. Met new friends. Cruise Excursion were great. We were satisfied. 5 stars!!

Great Iberian Passage cruise, friendly and helpful staff, highly recommended

The itinerary and on-board experiences were excellent! Didn't care for being "nickel-and-dimed" for certain items that are included in the cost of a Carnival Cruise (i.e., WATER). I would rather have bottled water as a "thank you for your patronage" perk than a bottle of Merlot that was barely palatable.

We didn't realize when we booked the cruise that the 7 day cruise is a continuation of the cruise that originates in Barcelona. This turned out to be great for us. Barcelona cruise terminal cannot accommodate the 4100+ passengers on this cruise so they split the on-boarding between Barcelona and Rome (we got on in Rome). Only 10% - 20% get on in Rome so there are no lines, no waiting and you are on the ship in less than 15 minutes. Things to note, Civitavecchia is approximately 1hr 20 minutes cab ride to downtown Rome. Florence is approx 1 hr by cab or train from Livorno (plan accordingly) we went to the train station in Livorno and went to Florence that way (30 euros round trip for both of us). Great way to see the country side and the train system in Italy is awesome.

We reserved a family suite on the 14th deck (center of the ship). We were in a very good position to get around. The cabin was very roomy with excellent cabinet space, and a balcony. The room attendant was also very good and met all of out requests. The food was plentiful and there were many options for specialty restaurants. The kids club wasn't the best, my 10 year old son wasn't very interested after attending on the first day. We ate at the Chinese Noodle restaurant and the steak house. The steakhouse was wonderful. The port calls with excursions were run very well and organized by cruise staff.

Very clean. Very big ship well organized .staff very friendly will help you with all your questions.

Family girls trip. This was also a first time cruise for one of my sisters . Overall it was a very nice cruise . ONE big disappointment was the most of the pools didn't have stairs to enter/exit the pool, they did have those laders you only find in the deep end. My family was not able to use the pools due to this and it was very upsetting as it was VERY hot during our trip.

This was our first cruise with Seabourn and it exceeded our expectations. We are spoiled and cannot take any cruise line with less service/luxury in the future, which is the very same sentiment we heard from several other passengers. (first Seabourn/can't do anything else). We booked 11 months out with a 'guarantee' at a great rate (and had sailed on Cunard before) and got a major upgrade. Just do it. It is worth the slightly additional premium.

Very nice ship; staff was excellent. Lots of places to hang out when at sea. Our interior room was a good size and attended well.

This is a great ship. A bit more elegant than Breakaway and Getaway. A little quirky getting to some areas as there are not always "thru-floors" from bow to stern. The Cagney's dining experience seems to be slipping a bit. Le Bistro still outstanding. Haven service and food superb.

Awesome trip. Vacation of a lifetime. Overall experience was was wonderful.

It was a wonderful cruise. Only the design of stateroom was poor. There was no chair and desk . Sofa was in the front and vey awkward design. It was not functional. Besides the cabin the overall cruise experience is excellent. I will not take again cruise if the cabin desgin is poor.

Absolutely love Cunard. Service and staff are top notch!

This was our 1st Oceania cruise and we loved it. The ship was much smaller than we have sailed on in the past and I liked it. Our balcony stateroom was spacious and well appointed. Lastly, the food was excellent. My wife must have a gluten free diet and she ate like a queen. She claimed they have the best GF bread she has ever tasted. We took the wine with dinner package which was great for us. On a downside, the nightly entertainment is truly lacking. Two nights they had a concert pianist and another a flute player. They also had 2 movie nights which no one attended (no surprise there!).

the itinerary cant be beat....for my taste ship was too large and crowded but i am probably not best critic as I only go to cruises to take my adukt autistic son on a vacation. he enjoyed the cruise.

My opinion basically is that this sailing was more inclined and catered to people of an older age group. I am 38 and it was not a Big Bang for me.
