Great way to see various ports by cindy82052114

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

disappointed that we only received a 100 credit for missing the Croatia port - would have expected a more significant credit as a refund or credit toward another cruise.

Wonderful Greek Isle cruise except the NCL STAR missed one port (Dubrovnik) due to the ship's technical issue. The $100 compensation NCL gave for missing 1 of 5 ports is NOT a fair and equitable compensation. by WilsonG

Overall a good cruise except due to the ship's technical issue, we missed Dubrovnik (1 of 5 ports). $100 compensation is not fair and equitable.

Older ship, food not great by Taz99

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

I have been on Carnival Victory and Celebrity Equinox and both are better than this ship. The food here was just ok. The buffet has better food than the dining room. Carnival also asks about food allergies which this ship did not. It was slightly disappointing. Ask for the Indian and Vegetarian menus which were not offered to us until we asked for other options on the 2nd night.

Missed Carnival by CeBarri

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Brilliance of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

The ship did not smell fresh had to buy air freshener at one of the ports. We were on the 3rd FL AFT and heard lots of loud noises and banging at bedtime. The first day our pillow was dirty like someone cleaned the floor with it. The food was good but Carnival was better. Our cooler box did not work and even though I had braids and never shed hair ou r sink was clogged. Overall they were nice and tried, they fixed stuff when asked but this was my 3rd cruise and worst one.

So so by Hrleepark

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

There was a fire in the engine room, but we weren’t told about it. It only said a mechanical issue. Didn’t stop at Dubrovnik which was why we took this cruise. Very disappointed. We only got $100/ person refund. We don’t care about $100. We wanted to visit Dubrovnik. We found Out about the fire after disembarkation, on the cruise news.

Our Mediterranean Cruise by tpane91

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Jade / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

It appears that Norwegian now expects passengers to pay for the specialty restaurants in order to get the upgraded meals. Gone are the days when you could expect a lobster dinner at the main dining restaurants.

Poor by notrosmom

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

Our flight was delayed leaving JFK 3 hours so we arrived in Rome late and missed our tour of the Vatican. When I originally booked the cruise I requested the hotel that was downtown Rome. They put us in the hotel at the airport. When I realized this I called and was informed that the hotel was booked and we had to change the reservation ourselves which I did. By doing this I had to cancel transportation from the airport to the hotel and to the ship and make the arrangements myself which was quite expensive. We lost our tour of the Vatican. We were supposed to have prepaid gratuities which was cancelled in error when I called I was informed that this was going to be taken care of and added again. Obviously it was not we ended up canceling the gratuities and leaving are gratuities in an envelope. I have been on many Norwegian Cruises which we have enjoyed. This one was very uncomfortable it seems there was always some issue that would keep us from enjoying ourselves. The only good time was when we were off the ship and not having to deal with some issue that was supposed to be taken care of and wasn't. Sorry to complain but had to get it off my chest. Thank you

Tuscany to Athens by margaretharriso

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Star / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Our cruise was wonderful and all we have come to expect from Viking. It was an experience of a lifetime and one to share with family and friends. The precruise trip to Tuscany was another story. The Villa we were assigned to was changed three time although we booked the cruise almost a year in advance. This made is a chore to keep family apprised of our whereabouts. The Villa itself, Villa Barronci, was lovely with beautiful country side. However our room could only be described as awkward. There was a step immediately on entering the room then another within three feet of that into the main bedroom area. There was nowhere to place a suitcase to open it outside of putting it on the floor. This awkwardness made it not up to what I would expect from Viking. The staff was friendly and the food excellent. As for the excursions they were exceptional, especially the winery and farm and San Gimignano, except for the excursion to Florence. It was disappointing and pedestrian. I expected a visit to the Uffizi Gallery and was disappointed.

Pleasant Cruise by affonsoj

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: MSC Magnifica / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

Pleasant cruise, liked most of the excursions. Food was average with minimum variations. Entertainment was good through out the ship, the theater and at the numerous halls.

Excellent Mediterranean Itinerary by jladams

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Sky Princess / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Overall, the cruise was excellent and I'd definitely recommend Princess and would do another. My only real complaint was too many ports in a row and a few of the ports of call were very short days to see the area. If booking again, I'd look for longer times in port and more sea days between ports.

Ship: Viking Jupiter / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Great cruise. From excitement in Barcelona (civil unrest) to surprising Croatia, and best of all, only 2 days of rain! Also a shout out to friendly Corfu, Greece!

Fabulous voyage by jonredesigns

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

This is our 13th cruise but our first with Norwegian. Other than some cabin issues we have a fabulous time. The food was great, the staff was wonderful, the shows were awesome, the casino was nice and everything on the ship was easy to find. I personal would do this cruise again. Hopefully all of Norwegian's ships do not have that capsule design bathroom set up. That would be a bummer.

Trip on Celebrity Constellation by BrianThompson

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Celebrity Constellation / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

The cruise itself was fine. A few frustrating items were trying to maneuver through Celebrity website for excursions. The descriptions for excursions were extremely vague. In fact every one coined the phrase "See the best of" The website also made no mention that a few ports did offer free shuttle into the city. A fact I feel intentionally left out in order to sell the excursion.
