Europe Cruise Reviews

I love everything about the Reflection and the staff. Excellent service on every level. Shore excursions were ok for some and fabulous for others.

The worst thing was the food at the world café, to me the taste was no existent variety was poor.

Nothing extra to add that I didn't already include above. Overall, this was a great family experience. We will definitely sail NCL again and have also bought some CruiseNext deposits.

Great ports. Million Dollar Quartet was excellent. The beverage package is good if included. If not, it is outrageously expensive. Pay by the drink if you are not on it unless you drink all day and all night.

It was my first cruise and I was pleasantly surprised. I felt a sense of community and the energy/vibe was so positive. The amount of activities offered made it easy for anyone to find things they enjoy and there was enough space on the boat for people to find spots of solitude. The food, company, activities, and organization exceeded my expectations. I will cruise again:).

Food not impressive...good meal at Ocean Blue and Le Bistro...very loud ship . Very nice room decorations for our 50th anniversary ....lovely cakes for our anniversary

The cruise was an awesome way to see several countries without having to pack and unpack. Such a great time!

This was our third Crystal Cruise. The all inclusive makes cruise travel much easier since you do not have to worry about daily tips or keeping track of added charges. The food was very good, and the staff was eager to please. There was a good ratio of crew to passenger. Ports were very diverse and interesting.

We had a wonderful time and saw many different islands.

I picked this cruise because it was giving a broad overview of the Baltic region and made a full 3-day stop in Saint Petersburg. I was not disappointed! Everything on board was very nice and I consider good value. Concerning ports-of-call, I would just remove Fredericia and substitute it with a second night in Warnemuende to make this itinerary perfect! The biggest surprise was Visby - an absolute must! My whole family enjoyed it (even my wife who tends to be sea-sick) and we'll come back for other cruises.

Great way to visit the Baltic region. Very active (well over 10,000 steps per day). Mix of walking, bus, and biking.

It was a experience, albeit a whirlwind. Although the ship is in port almost 12 hours a day in most places, the actual excursion cities are quite a distance from the port (except Barcelona) giving you less time than you think to explore. Nevertheless, you will undoubtedly have an amazing experience and visit iconic and often once in a lifetime sites.

We enjoyed the trip. The staff were very informative and helpful The excursion guides except at Tallin were very informative. If we had our luggage during the trip we would have enjoyed it more

Needless to say this was not one of our favorite cruises. Not sure whether it is Norwegians problem or the captains but we are very dissatisfied with the company

Most of the tours spent a lot of time on a bus. I needed to be older and less mobile for this cruise. I'm glad I did it and do not need to do it again. I like a more active cruise that has more exertion in the ports. As always NCL personnel is terrific. The Spirit is a small ship and has less to do than most other ships. That matters on a 12 day cruise.

Great trip beautifull pleaces to visit, ship was great good food great service nice staff all over was a great vacation

Jade was all about the money. They said to stay hydrated and wanted to sell water. Did not provide any useful information for those that did not take one of their expensive excursions. Said we could meet with someone ashore for info and map-mostly no one there. Too crowded ship...not friendly to meet people.

It was the best cruise ever. Everything was so great. Loved everything about it.

Overall MSC does a pretty good job of managing 3000 passengers who speak many different languages. I applaud them for that. The service is variable and reflect language problems and different ideas of what service is compared to North American standards. The food is obviously mass produced and has to cater to many different tastes. Don't take this cruise if you want excellent onboard cuisine (but occasional they would surprise me with something wonderful). If you are a native English speaker (and that is your only language) be aware that finding someone who knows conversation English will be a challenge which to me really was major negative for this trip. But if you want a really international experience and want to me folks from many different countries (and not just Americans, Canadians, Aussies and New Zealanders) and or you speak some conversation Italian, French, German or Spanish, then MSC is the cruise line for you.

Overall, we had a great time. As expected, some of the ports of call were not that exciting but we spent a half day exploring them and the rest of the day enjoying the pools.
