Wonderful service, amazing ship with tons of activities! by ptonguyen

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

We had a wonderful time! It was our 2nd ocean cruise and our 1st international cruise. We loved having a balcony and having food available all the time. :) Main Dining staff was great, great, great and so is everyone in Specialty and buffet restaurants. Activities on board Wonder of The Seas is amazing, people loved it, there’s something for everyone, you could never get bored. There are also quiet spots to get away from the crowd. Loved Central Park and listening to the birds. Loved the whimsical artwork on every deck and especially the astronauts! Room attendants were friendly and caring, especially Renaldo who took care of my sister and her husband who was sick for most of the 7-day cruise, and Keisha Nixon with her friendly smile who took care of our cabin. Would cruise with Royal Caribbean again but prefer smaller ships (2k-3k passengers), great food and ports which are more important to us than activities on board.

Logistical Challenges Before & After by ChicagoRepeatCr

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

Nice post pandemic cruise. Staff tried really hard to make this nice. Going in September is better than October (weather wise and ports were starting to close up). Absolutely a logistical challenge with lots of added expenses with this cruise coming out of Ravenna. Location of this port for embarkation is horrible. And RCL needs to stop advertising as Venice embarkation. We knew it wasn’t Venice but until you have to make all the travel and lodging arrangements as well as moving all your luggage around pre and post, you don’t realize how much of an expense and pain it really is. Example, we didn’t want to take / find train or bus so we asked about a shuttle from airport to hotel we were staying at. The shuttle cost 220 euros for the 2 of us. This was on top of the cost of the room. Then had to pay another 40 euros the next morning from hotel to the port.

Great Ports of Call by jjniro

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Regal Princess / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Overall we had a great time on this ship. Always something going on for you to stay as busy or not as you please. The service was always great except for some delays when the bars were full. Could have used a bit more servers. Medallion was very convenient for access and for charge anything to our account.

Glad to be cruising after the cancelled trips, but it rained some or all of every day. by lwfish43

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Island Princess / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

We learned to not arrange a trip specifically to view northern lights. Cloudy and some rain every day meant very little time (less than 2 hours) to see the lights and "severely dampened the excursions."

Amazing by ashleycreyes

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

Wonder of the Sea is 100% the best cruise experience you can ask for. The staff on board is always willing to go above and beyond for your family. I highly recommend this ship for it stunning beauty and a relaxing and carefree vacation.

Good and bad by logan100902

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Wonder of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

Ship was amazing. Crew was amazing. Food in buffet and dining room cold and tasteless. No selection on buffet. Bread was stale for burgers and dogs every day. No nuggets for kids?? Worst food overall out of any Royal ship we have been on.

A great way to see several European destination but not the best cruise especially for families. by ashleyamarkert

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (young children)
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Western Europe

If you’re a family traveling with children of any age I would avoid this cruise. Population is mainly a retired older demographic. The ship is also smaller with less activities and things to do. The shows were a bit provocative for kids but still entertaining. The buffet food wasn’t good.

Big disappointment by davidsprowl80

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Dawn / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

We had looked forward to this cruise for a few years. Having the first port cancelled was a bummer - then having ALL 3 Scotland stops cancelled and spending days at sea was more than disappointing. We have opened a case and expect some kind of refund for 4 missed ports. Now, we have to spend a lot of money to replace the Scotland visit. It seemed like it was everyday business for the staff - it was just an announcement - no sense of empathy that people saved money, took vacation time, etc. to participate in the cruise. Please Note: Because 4 ports were canceled, the overall rating of this survey does not reflect our true rating of the cruise - it would be much lower.

Great cruise, with our primary interest being Israel, as Covid, and military conflicts made this our 5th attempt, and did not disappoint. Only complaint was the distance to Holy Land attractions from the ports-spent way two much time on buses, but......i by bobduckett

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

Our 6th cruise with Celebrity-they are our favorite. Better food, better service, and definitely a step up from Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and especially Norwegian. You get what you pay for, although their no-tips, free wi-fi, and free booze is hopefully something other lines will adapt.

Norwegian Shoe Excursion Department & On-board activities need improvement. by ginnybnt1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Dawn / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

NCL is clearly NOT recovered from COVID. One person I met had sailed with them 51 times and said this was the worst cruise ever and considering a new cruise line.
