Europe Cruise Reviews

Generally a fine cruise and some great tours Dinning was off and not up to expectation of Oceania's other cruises we have been on. D-day site (Omaha Beach )will blow you waya

The overall Cruise was an amazing once in a lifetime adventure. We had an awesome time visiting all of the ports getting a taste of the region. The excursions were well planned and extremely informative. The staff was outstanding and took great care of us during our time onboard. The ship itself was very luxurious and beautifully appointed. I would recommend the cruise line and ship to all my family and friends.

I will never book another Norwegian cruise EVER. The food was only mediocre, which is a big part of what you are purchasing on a cruise. You could work around this by only going to the specialty restaurants, but they were also so disorganized, it was ridiculous. They shut off our water two nights of the cruise, and one morning no cabins had hot water for hours. They also only had some of the great attractions open for 1-2 h a day, mostly while you were off the boat. I was at the service desk virtually every day of the cruise figuring out something (dinner reservations, bill discrepancies, etc.) that seemed wrong. While they did not succeed in ruining my vacation, it was only because I decided to rise above these things and enjoy myself regardless. Positives: We went to every port of call as expected. The drink package was excellent and not confusing. My son really enjoyed being on a cruise and the kid's activities. My husband won some money in the casino. Negatives: We waited for things a lot on the cruise. The food was cafeteria/Max and Erma's/TGI Friday's quality at best. Information was shared very poorly on the cruise and very little went smoothly.

The directors need to work more closely together for better guest experience. New cruise director needs better training. Hotel director very seasoned & great leader. However food disappointing. Spa was terrible & should be removed from the ship!!!

Loved this cruise, great way to see 7 countries in 12 days. Unpack once. Also the food and service on the Veendam was outstanding!

Great!

Enjoyed the small ports more than the larger ones. Gave more opportunity to spend some time enjoying the ship.

Great ship and crew! Beautiful scenery just need more storage in cabin.

The trip was very enjoyable. The service was very good, the ports were good, the entertainment was good except for Clare Maiden, and the food was very good. However, compared with the food and entertainment we had on our cruise aboard the Celebrity Millennium in December, which was outstanding, this cruise was OK.

Great cruise with helpful and attentive staff. Very few lines at the buffet which was great. Amazing ports and scenic cruising. Comfortable cabins. However, ships excursions were overpriced and the tour/excursion/port information person provided inaccurate information about the docking site in Bergen and had no current experience with the ports.

The cruise & ports we disembarked was a trip of a lifetime for me as I shared it with my son, daughter-in-law, & two granddaughters. I had never been on a cruise before & it exceeded all my expectations. The overall customer service was exceptional! Enjoyed the total experience. Each port we visited offered many things to see and we enjoyed them all. Cinque Terre was probably my favorite.

wonderful...........................................

We had a great time. I would highly recommend this adventure... It's exhausting, but a once in a lifetime event

I enjoyed the cruise immensely although sometimes felt rushed to attend all the events available.

For me it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Excellent. Excursions at every port can be tiring.

Overall this was a vacation we won't soon forget - beautiful scenery, warm and attentive service, and outstanding food. We loved everything about this cruise and would book it again in a heartbeat. The Norwegian Fjords are very similar to Alaska as far as scenery but also very different and so glad that we have been lucky enough to experience and compare both destinations. Of all the cruise lines and ships that we have sailed on (over 100) I have to say this is one of my favorites

See previous comments at each port and evaluations of staff and services. Outstanding vacation!

Excellent cruise over all. Friendly and attentive staff.
