Europe Cruise Reviews

Pace yourself. While a 12 day excursion, visiting 10 ports looks great, you can quickly become tired. We paid for only 3 excursions. They were all very good but I also enjoyed my time with my significant other to explore the the ports on our own. Unless you are addicted to the Internet, avoid the high ship charges and check in the various ports or buy a coffee somewhere in the port for free access. If you like to walk and explore ports on your own, you can still have a wonderful experience.

This cruise was a total delight. The ports of call were the primary reason we selected this particular cruise line and the Ancient Vignettes itinerary and we were not disappointed in any way. Oceania knows how to take care of its passengers in a first class manner. Everything went like clockwork as far the planning and execution of excursions. It would have been nice if some of the excursions were started later in the day, but we realize that to a large extent, the timing is dictated by the port and scheduled departures to the next port. The food is excellent and the crew is totally customer oriented. Bravo Oceania!

This cruise covers the beginning of civilization, A to Z. There were so many highlights starting in Rome with the Coliseum, Palatine hill and the Vatican than going to Naples and seeing Pompeii . All of the Greek Isles were unique and seeing the Acropolis and the temples to the Greek gods were amazing.

Great Cruise! Entertainment is NOT family friendly in the Epic Theater! Otherwise we enjoyed the cruise. Ports were generally amazing and we had great experiences at most. We are sailing Epic again in the Spring, really hoping for entertainment changes, though we doubt it will happen. Much more to do on this ship than go to the Epic Theater.

Easy on and easy off! The only problem that I had was trying to convince the cruise staff that I did not need to arrive at the Rome airport 2+ hours in advance for my TrenItalia train to Florence!

Overall, the cruise was excellent, very friendly & helpful staff! Love the Solarium option! However Having cruised quite often we are disappointed that the Dining room food quality & selection has dropped off considerably!! Obviously this is due to to the constant staff promoting the select expensive restaurant options at the dining room entrance... annoying! If this is the marketing plan, It will affect my decision re cruises in future!!!

Great new ship. Easy to get around. The caviar was the best.

Enjoyed a couple of the ports. The cruise ship staff was not helpful and sometimes down right rude.

Wonderful cruise. Enjoyed the massage in the spa. Food was great. Enjoyed the excursions we booked. Need better entertainment at night. Embarkation and disembarkation was great. No hassle at all.

Great cruise EXCEPT for room placement i.e. very first room in front of ship and traveling companions placed on opposite side of ship. And we booked over a year before the cruise. Somehow our rooms were changed from the time we booked to when we sailed.

This was an outstanding cruise! The staff were outstanding in every way. I appreciated their eagerness to serve and make our vacation a top priority in enjoyment.

What a great life experience! Was able to explore several different countries while enjoying staying on cruise ship. Would definitely recommend to others!!

This is our first Celebrity cruise experience and I must say it was a wonderful one. We had cruised 7x w other cruise lines and was able to compare the difference and we’re pretty happy we tried Celebrity this time. We are looking forward to doing Celebrity in the future

Fantastic itinerary! The shows and entertainment are terrible (excluding the Cirq show). NCL really needs to refresh their shows and entertainment on this ship. Oddly, the cruise director and staff were barely visible throughout the cruise. Go early and stay late to enjoy Barcelona!

The ship has an older crowd and it is dead after 9PM, we are older too, but not dead yet. If you want to relax and read a book, this is your ship, if you want to party and have fun, this is NOT your ship.

Fair food, fair design of the ship, room is not very clean

Overall the staff was knowledgeable and very helpful. Dining staff were very accommodating and remembered our favorites and preferences. Cabin staff always willing to assist, however, seemed to have a limited knowledge of the ship. Customer Service very helpful.

Cruise Ship should be refurbished and it should not be used under the conditions is in. For the price that was paid for the inside cabin, in another cruise company it was a balcony. Furthermore, the stateroom 11131 should not be sold. Is above the kitchen and the noise is unverable. One thinks that someone is inside the room or that there are metals and glasses falling from the ceiling. Horrible vacations.

Just be prepared to walk a lot including on the ship as it is huge. This ship is very stable and didn’t hear of anyone getting seasick. Our cabin was great and service everywhere was excellent. We loved the thermal spa and would use that service again on another Norwegian Cruise. One set of elevators doesn’t have a 5th floor access button??🤨

We very much enjoyed the cruise and the ports except for the fact that this cruise seem to be understaffed with employees. Many venues were understaffed throughout the entire cruise.
