Europe Cruise Reviews

Overall we had a great honeymoon and first experience cruising - the service of the staff members was excellent, the food and drinks were excellent - there was plenty of stuff to do if you wanted to partake. Entertainment was a little cheesy (as to be expected), the shore excursions were inflated and way overpriced, so I'm glad we ended up doing our own thing each day. Wonderful ports of call. Only discrepancy is a rude manicurist that did my nails on the cruise that almost threatened me when I didn't purchase a face wash she was hustling, she was SO incredibly rude, and the lack of shuttles / communication embarking and disembarking the cruise ship. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

I enjoy MSC, they seem to have exciting port s we have been on 4 cruises already with them . And have 2 more booked so. We have been on the, Spendida, Poesia, Musica, And Preziosa.

I enjoyed all the ports, but didn't really like the ship. Many events were held at the same time and since food is served slowly in the dining rooms, eating dinner takes a long time which causes you to miss or be late for evening shows. All the planning at home for dinner and show reservations takes away from the idea of Freestyle cruising, but if you don't pre-plan and reserve them you will miss them.

All in all it was a good experience. The biggest let down was the concierge for our suite who was utterly useless. We stayed in the haven last year on epic so set a high bar coming onto this ship and it was decent.

Very unremarkable cruise. Would not sail with Norwegian again. Staff did not go out of their way to make this a stress-free vacation. Bartenders argued. Guest services refused to assist. Could never find anyone at the excursion desk. Wine selection was disgusting.

This cruise was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the summer and visit some beautiful small cities along the Adriatic without having to pack and unpack each day. Evening entertainment was excellent and overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable time.

Great cruise. Ports of call were great. Loved the suite. Great staff on the ship. Specialty dinners are the best. Best part of the cruise was the butler. Easy on and off the ship experience.

The service and gorgeous ship as well as almost all the ports of calling being awesome saved this cruise. And the fact that I was happy to spend my free time relaxing and reading by the pool because the activities and entertainment leave much to be desired.

The itinerary was the draw for me. I had high expectations and the ports exceeded them. The ship experience was nice. The cabin was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Great way to see the Scandinavian countries! Also ship was great! St. Petersburg was hectic but so worth it! Shows were varied and good,service was great

We had a very relaxing time on the cruise and enjoyed nearly every minute. The MSC Splendida was a nice cruise ship for its type. This is not a luxury cruise ship, but is clean and well kept. We feel that the ratings of MSC are lower than they should be, at least based on our experience. The majority of the passengers were of course European. North American, Australian and New Zealand travelers may find the European passengers "cold" or less open to talk. There was an obvious socio-cultural difference we noticed and sensed that some of the passengers were a bit taken a back by this.

Overall it was an excellent cruise, except for the short stops in Helsinki and Stockholm. The schedule needs to be improved. Maybe eliminate one of the stops so there is more adequate time on the other.

If you told me that I could go back on this exact ship, with this itinerary, and this staff and have the exact same experience I just had, I would return without hesitation. Absolutely recommend this ship, absolutely recommend these ports, and I absolutely recommend spending some time in Rome either before or after.

So fun. We wish the cruise was longer. This was our first cruise and an amazing vacation and way to see Europe. The excursions were fantastic. I can't wait to go on another one.

wonderfull trip, we enjoyed and ate too much! everything was good except the shows, wich we anticipated to be much better. i will recommend to adult peaple to join cunrad ships

This was my first and last cruise. I regret spending my hard earned money on an all you can eat cruise only to not eat anything because the food was horrible.

Fabulous. A once in a lifetime adventure. We would have liked to have one more sea day to relax a bit but didn't want to miss any of the excursions. This is a great cruise.

My husband and I traveled with two other couples and stayed in the Neptune suites close to one another and used the Neptune lounge several times a day. I highly recommend Holland America the ship is large but you never feel it there is space for everyone on board and you never feel crowded. The food was absolutely delicious with beautiful presentation every day ..The staff was considerate, kind, and professional. I'm already planning my next cruise 😍

I lack more entertainment.Food should improve. The shows only some were of quality The attention in the dining room was very good. Crew in the bedrooms were excellent

Todo el personal muy amable y colaborador especialmente la Srta. Laura Balladares quien nos trato con mucho cariño y amabilidad, tambien muchas felicidades a los musicos de la banda sobre todo a Calogero Clemente y todos los musicos a su direccion.
