Europe Cruise Reviews

Terrible, terrible. Didn't want an England vacation. Very rude and arrogant officer staff. Do not spend your hard worked money with this Company. Arrogant, rude and not diversity oriented staff.

The only negative was the total lack of embarkation and "detailed" planning information. This should have been sent to us by Costa and we still never have received it.

I would book with Windstar again in a minute. Loved the Star Legend ship as the size of the rooms were so relaxing and tons of space to hold everything we brought with with and accommodate the new stuff we bought. Wonderful cabin attendant Desi who immediately was able to soften the bed for me a bit. I found the bed to be quite hard and also found softer pillows for us. Our waiter each night was Deva who we had met when we were on a prior Windstar cruise and remembered us. Met a new waitress Trisna who had a smile for everyone on board and learned my name the first day and what I liked to drink. Kristi who now works in the onboard tours, was our photographer on the Windsurf and immediately remembered us from our previous trip. Met the new photographer Rhea who was also extremely friendly and went on a tour at every port and got some amazing pictures. I love that they have reasonable package deals and you don't feel pressed into buying their pictures. Our captain was great and made sure to point out things as we were traveling. We had a pod of blue whales who swam with us for a bit outside of Iceland. We did a 360 spin in the Geiranger Fjord so we could all see the waterfalls. We had a piper playing his bagpipes as we left the dock in Kirkwall Scotland and then the captain got up closer to the Orkney Cliffs just outside of Kirkwall. We lucked out with amazing weather, sunny blue skies. Definitely a trip to remember!

This is my 5th with Windstar so they are doing things as right as they get for me. Thanks for all, Kurt in Houston xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Not so well. The destination were not so well. We had been disapointed that the Cruise ship stoppt too far outside. Other european cruiseships had been downtown. The Last day not not well Organizer.

The BEST cruise we've ever been on! The Eclipse is a GREAT ship; the food was awesome and the wait staff was superb. The entertainment was "off the charts"..... different act every night and we saw every show in it's entirety. The ports were fantastic, especially St Petersburg and we chose this cruise so we could be in St Petersburg for 3 full days - highly recommend the 3 days here.

The ship was a disappointment. It was too crowded and too noisy. The final area of disappointment was the pervasive feeling that we were “marks” for the staff that was constantly hawking extras. One could hardly walk along the shop areas without being accosted by aggressive sales personnel. It was ironic to be treated that way be people selling some elegant products. I was hardly ever accosted by vendors selling souvenirs in the ports, (it was the Baltic and not the Carribean where things would have been different) – not so on the Silhouette. This survey calculated a 4.1 star rating. I would give it a 3.5.

The trip was pretty hectic a more sea days in between ports would have been nice to recoup. The wait staff and room staff were one of the best we had having been on 37 cruises.

Excellent cruise. Very educational as well as scenic. A great look at Russian culture, history and "evolution". And the Baltic countries gave us a wonderful understanding of life both pre and post Soviet rule. It is amazing what freedom can do for a country and its people! When we choose our travel our priority is the destinations as we have now been in 97 different countries. This Royal Caribbean cruise fulfilled our expectations in that regard as we do not choose our travel based on what ship board life has to offer. We are very pleased with the experience.

The ports make it worth it, but the cruise line is lacking in customer service and the food is not great. The ports considerably brought the score up. Without them it's a solid 2.8-3 , especially if you are used to the US cruise lines.

Would recommend this particular itinerary and ship. It is a very relaxing experience and plenty of sightseeing. The food at the Lido deck is probably better and faster than the dinning room. Ko ko

Great destination. Could have been a more efficient and friendly cruise experience. Insufficient staffing made for long lines and wait times for most events and restaurants.

It was very nice cruise. Food and entertainment exceed our expectations. A lot of activities during days at see. And of cause the promenade on the deck 5 is very helpful for people like us. It is in the middle of the ship, not on the upper deck like in other cruise lines. Excursions from the Holland America are overpriced.

Great cruise, excellent value and I would love to cruise with Norwegian again. The food was delicious! Overall the crowd was pretty mellow. It was nice for couples, families and singles. There was a good mix of everything.

Great cruise to places we've never been. The ship was excellent and our cabin 7259 was great. The food and service staff was top notch. Celebrity knows how to do it.

No laundry facilities - are you kidding me? The only laundry option is sending to the ship cleaner with socks starting at $3/pair. We travel a lot and packed for 5 days plus two sets of nice evening clothes figuring we'd do laundry twice since this is a 12 day cruise and would pay $3 to $4 per load (wash and dry). We were shocked and appalled to learn Celebrity does not have laundry facilities on its ships. We've cruised with other lines other lines and they all have laundry facilities so it never dawned on us to ask the question. The cost to have our clothes washed was absolutely ridiculous as each load came to almost $100.

This was an amazing journey to learn about places I thought we would never go to. I wish I would of had the opportunity to share this trip w/ my parents. I had them on my mind the whole time. We are Blessed to live in The USA.

We also cruised to Eidfjord, Norway. Beautiful fjord. Included tour here was terrible, a 20 minute bus ride to museum, 2 hours alloted, only needed 30 minutes. Small town and there was not much to do the rest of the time in port. Included tours to Eidfjord, Bergen, & Berlin need to be revamped. This is advertised as all-inclusive, therefore each included tour should allow for a good experience in each port of call. In the places mentioned, it is necessary to purchase an optional tour for that good experience. This cruise was mostly very good. The itinerary was very interesting and it's a great part of the world to visit. I think if Viking makes a few changes it will be a great cruise.

A wonderful way to experience ports we had never been to before. This being our second Disney cruise, we knew to expect great service, top of the line entertainment, and lots of fun activities on board. Very happy with our overall experience.

Touring the Baltic's is really a treat. Getting to see 6 countries in one cruise is really something. The Regal Princess is a beautiful ship and one we love to on again. The ports were amazing and this should be a must cruise for those who want to explore Northern Europe.
