Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Great experience. Next time we will pick a smaller shop, but we will sail again with MSC guaranteed!

Beautiful new ship. Dining & activities (lack thereof) biggest downside.

The ship was beautiful, the overall experience was good we were just very distinct the food options and how Early it all shut down. 9pm for included food is really unacceptable. The ship all 7 Days was very warm, especially in them he dining areas, pretty uncomfortable. Otherwise we were happy with the trip.

Fabulous cruise line. We are definitely going on another Viking cruise.

Wonderful cruise experience on Viking Star (beautiful ship, nicely appointed cabins, professional staff, good food and drink) but disappointing that we missed two ports (Sicily and especially Algiers -- how many other opportunities will anyone have to go there?).

Overall nice cruise. The ship always seemed overcrowded especially the buffet area. Always a struggle to find a table. Why was pool closed on the only day spent at sea?

The cruise was a little different from what I'm used to but had a great time and and a great experience. Try everything you can on the ship especially the shows and restaurants.

great cruise overall food entertainment tours service. We have cruised on other ships that were not as attentive as yours in the above mentioned areas.

Highly recommend this cruise! We bought the beverage plan and may rethink that going forward, especially if taking as many excursions as we did. The average drink is $10., you do the math. Do not splurge for the wi-fi, it is nice to disconnect. Not to mention we heard from those who did and they had terrible coverage.

Overall we had a great time. Communication was lacking regard all of the events, where the dancing was. We missed our dinner with the captain. I still don't know when that happened. My fancy new dress did not get worn. Dining choices were not clearly defined. We are easy going people and went with the flow and had a great time.

Best cruise ever until departure to discover broken handle on luggage. This caused lots of issues on the remained of our European trip, mostly by train!

World wind tour of a lifetime. The ports and excursions were well worth the trip, though I would not sail this particular cruise line again. I recommend taking time after the excursion, which are usually only 4 hours or so and tour the cities on your own to get away from the commercial aspects.

We really enjoyed this cruise but experienced cold weather and rain for the first two itinerary stops in France and Italy. Ports of call were excellent as was the ship and amenities. We loved that MSC honors previous cruisers status from other cruise lines or hotel or airline status.

Great ports, very nice, well-apportioned room - somewhat ruined by completely incompetent and unhelpful customer service/guest relations and difficulties in the dining room.

Wonderful cruise . Would advise to book before October sailings. Take comfort clothing and shoes. Be prepared for a large amount of knowledge and appreciation along with being somewhat overwhelmed. Take lots of photos, you will appreciate them when you catch your breath.

We really enjoyed the EPIC cruise. My son had previously sail this same itinerary and had highly recommended it. He was right!!! Everything was great. Food, drinks, entertainment and ports made this vacation awesome.

For me and my wife, the best part of this cruise was our stateroom. The size of the room, the comfortable bed and a good size bathroom with two separate sinks made our trip very pleasant. Greatly appreciated the complementary upgrade.

This was our second sailing on this ship. High level of service overall. Not completely consistent, however. Ship needs an update from top to bottom! Looks tired and dated. Gym was in terrible shape; equipment not working, vinyl coverings torn, no video or TV working. Poor/limited wifi service offered. Sailed with another couple so the much older population didn't bother us. May sail again after the expansion and update this spring. We'll see what the offers look like and what real updates are done.....

It's a fantastic ship- staff REALLY cares. Don't be daunted by the large size- you don't feel it feel crowded in common areas- plenty of places to seclude yourself!
