Europe Cruise Reviews

Lived the cruise overall. Lots of excellent ports and entertainment was amazing. Few minor boat gripes and the tendering was terrible.

Nope, I will never go on another one of these ships. Destinations? Yes. Staff and ship. DO NOT

Cruise was just close to perfect in my opinion. We did end up getting sick with a cough which put a bit of a damper on the trip but still was amazing and will definetly be sailing with MSC again.

We chose the Spirit for a second time because of the itinerary. The shore excursions we selected were wonderful but the Spirit needs to be updated-signs of wear are apparent. Additionally, since guests are charged the gratuity beforehand, in my mind there is no incentive for the cabin stewards to go out of their way to please! The attitudes I have encountered are lackadaisical at best!!

The 8 of us loved the whole experience except for the service received at Guest Services - Infinity desk. I was waiting patiently in line and 3 people walked up to the counter and were taken care of immediately. The desk clerks should have told the 3 people that they need to get in line. Bad service.

Overall, the Cruise exceeded our expectations. It was a memorable cruise and we would re-book. We appreciate Janet for her guidance and for arranging a show with the package. Thank you for your guidance and help. We loved it.

Amazing Spectacular and very romantic without all the fussing of planning

I transit the ship seemed shakey and unstable, quality and taste of food was poor, quality of stateroom and stateroom staff was good, entertainment was poor

I am happy with most of the areas. The excursion was very upsetting. The Brazilian guy who present the excursions is completely lack of passion and interest. The material were very outdated. The images are really bad. One thing I found it unacceptable was at Alicante. There was a free shuttle available but it was never mentioned anywhere. Not even on the daily new letter. This is very unsetting to us.

Menus need updating if they are to be accurate & NOT misleading. In Le Bistrot: there was NOT a chèvre croquette on the chèvre salad, just some bread cubes with a honey/goat cheese spread (gag!) Also instead of RACK of lamb, there were two chops like those served in Cagneys. In the main dining room: the Caesar salad had NO white anchovies, but quite dark brown ones. Not the promised more refined quality. And the Bananas Foster came with raw bananas floating in cold caramel sauce. Waited 20 minutes for properly sautéed warm bananas. There is a way to quietly clear tables without clanging all the dishes: teach the bussers ! BRING EARPLUGS. There is a lot of noise in the public areas.

First cruise on NCL. Had its ups & downs. The flooded corridor was not appreciated and should have been fixed before we boarded. Not lots of activities by day. Only three sea days so we were tired after visiting so many ports of call. One of the best cabins we have stayed in. Give them a try.

Would highly recommend. PLEASE consider older people like us who would enjoy a ship library that is not in a smokey corner. With the fascinating ports and with clientele somewhat older, an historical library would be appreciated.

This cruise line is not worth the money. It was 7 times more than Royal Carib. Everything was excelent and beter thsn Royal except the excursions. Not seeingthe Northern Lights was a a fail.

I always love cruising with Viking. I was very disappointed that I didn't see the Northern Lights.

A Viking Ocean Cruise is a wonderful experience with an included excursion in each port with local residents so you get a real feel of the area. The staff on board are all very friendly and helpful. We didn't want for anything.

Would do it again. All the ports were interesting, tours were very good.

Took this cruise to see areas I had never been to before. Enjoyed the cruise and glad I went.

This was the first and last time I will sail on MSC cruise line.

Over all is good cruise. Its not a big ship, but is good and the port we visit are good!

This is an older boat with not much to do. The pools were closed most of the time due to heavy seas and was cold enough that sitting outside for long periods of time was not possible for most of the trip. The boat has no real activities unless you like to gamble, and there is are only 6 English speaking tv channels 4 of which are news, 1 sports and 1 movie channel. Also there tends to be an older crowd on this boat which isn't bad but those are the type of activities you'll find on the boat. Don't bother with the internet, its a colossal waste of money. You can't ever get logged in and when you do its slower than molasses. The food wasn't that great, best place to eat we discovered was at the blue lagoon. Also since everyone has to eat breakfast at the buffet the seating is difficult to find unless you go outside which is alright unless its cold. Overall the ship experience was poor but the stops were excellent.
