Europe Cruise Reviews

Had a wonderful time. The ship was beautiful and thoughtfully appointed. Could not ask for a better itinerary. (Granted, the weather was great and I could not expect to have the same vacation if it rained the whole time!)

Nice budget cruise! It's an older ship, but the staff kept it clean, well-attended and friendly. Guy Fiere Burger Joint, by the middle pool, was our favorite, as well as Serenity (adult pool) right next to Mermaids (the buffet). Our room was typical and the extended balcony worth it. The spa was small (w/great staff) - but, not much action there nor promoted much. Recommend researching ports before you board (because wifi was crazy expensive) or do the excursions on this itinerary. Carnival was scant on port information, and destinations often very far from the ship; the days of a daily newsletter left in your cabin are gone - replaced by an app - that does not give much info. Overall, I'd recommend this cruise if you want a taste of the UK.

This was a very good itinerary, but unfortunately it was overcast with periods of light rain almost every day. Be sure to add extra days in Iceland—it’s quite amazing and more varied in scenery than the Norway Fjords. We thought our overall experience on Silversea was enjoyable, but below their standards and reputation, and we heard the same from many other guests.

Somewhat disappointed in general. Didn't get to go to St Petersburg - not RC's fault. Food was average at best (not memorable like in past cruises). Ship was great otherwise and places we visited were great except for where we tied up. Having only approx 1400 passengers was good in some respects and not good in others. (no lines or waiting but the showrooms needed to have a bigger audience for the entertainers to play to),

Excellent cruise and fantastic experience overall...would do it again in a minute - no flaws, no issues, no problems.

This was my 5th Azamara cruise. I wouldn’t mind doing another 5 more! Compared to pre Covid, biggest problem was difficulty in booking shore excursions once on board. I have not had problem in the past and wait lists always cleared. We could not get a shore excursion in Oban and there seemed to be little info about port or possible independent activities prior to arriving. Service was excellent as was food. It did seem like they were trying to get things back together again since restarting up after Covid.

Excellent cruise, good port stops, fantastic staff and a large room.

Jam pack itinerary you'll see a lot in a short time with outstanding service aboard the ship. Jade is the right size.

We loved our suite and the ship overall and all the personnel were wonderful, spoiling us day and night! The specialty restaurants had great food, but we were very disappointed in the food in the main dining room. We would have liked more variety in the entertainment, it was a bit old Broadway, and comedian not the best. Our most expensive excursion (Visby) was very disappointing, leaving us feeling it was a waste of time and money. Our other 3 excursions were very enjoyable!

We had the absolute worst experience of our lives on NCL. NCL gave us the WRONG itinerary with the words "VENICE" and were were late to disembark by 5 minutes. We called NCL many times, took a 3-hour train to Triste, and still missed the ship by 5 minutes, despite being told they would contact the ship and let them know about the delay. NCL is an irresponsible company that should take "Venice" off the written itinerary. This is deceptive, deceiving and we were not the only ones that had difficulty in arriving at the correct port. The facts are - Venice is over 3 hours away from Trieste, is not part of the province of Venice, nor is it associated in any way with Venice. We find it deceptive that NCL would leave Venice on the itinerary when the cruise line was told they are prevented from embarking or disembarking from Venice. We are asking for full compensation of over $5k in airfare, train, meals and taxis that our party of 5, (2 cabins) had to pay in order to meet up with the ship in Corfu, Greece. We have registered a formal complaint and will be submitting all receipts due to NCLs irresponsible behavior, lack of clarity and direction to their guest. PLEASE FILE THIS AS AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT

Great line Good blend of luxury and value Great food especially in the 2 specialty restaurants

The one-word summary I will give for this cruise is, "disappointing."

The cruise experience is overall pleasant, although there are some minor areas to improve for both the cruise (e.g. food as mentioned above) and the port (taxi drivers should be regulated at the Athens port)

Loved everything and the food The service was wonderful and everyone was so nice and accomodating

Great experience,beautiful places,excellent food.Royal service always something to do and lots of food

We enjoyed the services through out the whole ship. All the ship employees where courteous and very helpful. Our cabin steward service was the best. There is no doubt that we will return on another crusie.

This was our first cruise and frankly will be our last with Oceania. I complained to the head of customer service on the boat because of the poor quality of substitutions we were given because they removed Poland, Russia and Berlin. He was not so interested in hearing what I had to say - rather he was more concerned with telling how many rave reviews he had and to tell me that Oceania had the right to make any changes based on contract language. This did not resonate well with me. The long and the short is that I paid a lot of money for something that I did not get. In return, Oceania credited us a whopping $500 for the inconvenience. Big deal. My advice - stay way from this cruise line!

Every port was wonderful in its own way. I would visit any of them again any time. Celebrity Edge is a beautiful ship with everything you could possibly want. I can't wait to book another cruise on Celebrity.

Suite staff are excellent. I also had a manicure and it was the best I've ever had. Beware of tender ports - get to the lounge early to get a numbered ticket to get off the boat. Plan to wait. Pick shore excursions carefully and expect to held hostage a bit. It's still a wonderful experience visiting the different ports and countries in 12 days.

It was an excellent trip overall. A beautiful ship to relax and enjoy the wonderful ports to visit everyday. Usually, a seven-night cruise feels very short, but this felt very fulfilling and satisfying. We enjoyed every moment of it and would love to do it again.
