Europe Cruise Reviews

We had a good time and will look at Azamara again when looking at specific destinations. The longer port times allow for more time for on shore activities and is a nice feature. The pace of travel and back to back to back ports must be considered and is balanced with lack of options available on ship.

Ship and cruise were great. Barcelona Airport was terrible, in and outbound. Luxury Only was unresponsive. Choice Air Doubled booked our return flights, one set from Barcelona to New York to New Orleans, the second set from Barcelona to Miami to New Orleans. signage at Phil airport was poor. Had to re-screen between flights.

Overall the cruise was amazing. The ship and entertainment is amazing. The addition of Solarium and 270 is truly amazing. The specialty restaurant are amazing but the food in dining room could use some upgrade. I also notice some inconsistence at the bars and the quality of the drinks.

RC will tell you that you are responsible for covid testing. Even if you are going directly to the airport from the ship, they will not help, thus we missed our plane after waiting 2 1/2 hours to get covid tested at the airport even though RC said we would be ok. The ship is lovely and the staff is great!

This was our 3rd try to make trip. Tried in 2020 & 2021(Covid). Did miss St. Petersburg (Putin) but this cruise was very eye opening and gave us a new appreciation of these people and their countries! Great and Memorable!!! We are consider coming back for longer visit but right now couldn't decide which one to visit or take more time & do all😀😁😂😍

Loved the cruise with the sole exception of missing Jerusalem, the primary reason for choosing this itinerary

20th Regent Cruise. New ships don't disappoint. Service was exceptional, but helped by having only 2/3 of guest capacity. This itinerary was great, but not relaxing with a port everyday and long tours at the end. But if you are into history and site seeing, eastern Med is great. First time in Israel for me. With 3 days on ship and 3 days post cruise, we covered a lot of ground. We lost one port (Alanya) due to rerouting to address covid protocols in Israel, but it probably wasn't a port on which most people picked the itinerary. I was looking forward to it since it was new for me.

We chose this cruise because we were sailing out of Naples and, quite frankly, it was the only option! We were not disappointed by anything. If you cruise often or you’ve been on a bigger newer boat this is definitely different. But so long as you know that going in and don’t hold the Opera to the same expectations as you might a ship with a flight simulator or 24 restaurants I think you’ll have a great time (and save a bunch of money). We met people from all over the world, had great food at almost every meal, our rooms were wonderful and the staff was very pleasant.

It was very evident this was the first cruise for most of the staff because it showed in their disorganization and learning on the job although they were friendly and tried hard. The itinerary was excellent and the ship was small enough that we felt comfortable navigating it and finding things easily. Menu/food was not as enjoyable as I've had in the past and a number of the events listed in the program were not available because of short staffed.

If you have never travelled Celebrity cruises, you should give them a try. The ships are smaller and the service, food and accommodations are better than other cruise lines. The line attracts older customers so it is not a lively as other lines with younger passengers. Perfect for couples or families with older children.

Overall very good cruise and ports. Weather was great the whole time. Some excursions were to academic (deep dives in descriptions stead of seeing more sites). We like Celebrity compared to most of the others in their class.

The cruise was fun, but not without issues. It was understaffed on its first week and the dining experience in particular suffered for it. Entertainment was sporadic and conflicted with the overly long dinner times. The ports of call were mostly wonderful and all the shore excursions we engaged in were worth it.

This itinerary is not to be missed. The Norwegian fjords are spectacular to say the least. The ship is stunning and the perfect blend of traditional and modern.

First time in Greece. This was a perfect way to see and experience a lot of Greece in a short time.

Norway is absolutely beautiful. Rotterdam is a very clean and not too big ship. The food is excellent, the baked goods - breads, pastries, danishes are excellent!

Anthem of the seas is a technologically advanced ship, but the food and service in the Windjammer Marketplace is substandard for Royal Caribbean Lines. Eat in one of the Main Dining Rooms or a Specialty restautant.

As many of us have been apprehensive about going anywhere since pandemic started, I am glad we took the plunge and went on this cruise. We worried more than we had to before we left but enjoyed ourselves more this time. The ship was half-full and everything felt normal in and out of the ship during the cruise (except for a few masking requirements in public transportation and optional at some ship venues.

Ship is OK; food is OK; the stops were very nice particularly if you arrange for your own private tours. Be very aware of cruising during the pandemic with a rule such as the US. that requires a negative test before returning. I tested positive on the second to last day (double vaccnated, double boosted where mask). In spite of the what is written the cruise does little to prevent the spread. Almost no-one wears a mask even with crowding in elevators. They did no contract tracing with me. They did not even consider quaranting any of my traveling party. NCL canceled my flight home, took the refund for itself (according to the airline), NCL said it would use the cost of my trip home toward my flight and book my flight but then refused to do so leaving me to obtain my own flight home and pay for it. And by the way, travel insurance does not pay for the hotel and food while quarantining (or is very limited) and pays nothing for traveling companion (or at least the insurance I had).

My biggest complaint is the lack of food options for those with food allergies. At one table at dinner, 3 of us had gluten/ lactose problems and just learned to not complain as no one listens. I can cook at home delicious food … why not professional chefs?

The Ports were not disappointing but our Grand Suite experience really dampened the cruise by not allowing us to stay asleep or get to sleep easily with all the noise from the Windjammer above us. Paid for the Grand Suite experience as we always do and got the level of what we consider the cheapest room on the ship because of this
