Europe Cruise Reviews

the itinerary cant be beat....for my taste ship was too large and crowded but i am probably not best critic as I only go to cruises to take my adukt autistic son on a vacation. he enjoyed the cruise.

Great trip. Would definitely recommend Oceania to others

While I would consider Norwegian in the future, I would only book the Breakaway if the itinerary was fantastic and the price exceptional.

This is the best ship we have ever cruised on out of five cruises. Not only is it beautiful, but the service and food was top of the line. Highly recommend the ship and this cruise.

good only for the ports of call, don't assume you know everything from other MSC cruises, ask as beginner and don't expect a great customer service info

Would have been a perfect trip if shore excursions issue had not occurred!

The food and options were probably the worst of any cruise I've been on. the best I can say is that it was unremarkable. The entertainment was top rate, and the excursions we took were very good. For the most part the staff was excellent, with the exception of a few waiters who couldn't seem to get our orders right, or even bring us the drinks that we ordered. Steward and room conditions were excellent. This was the 2nd and last time on this ship, and probably the last time with Norwegian. Don't pay early as they will not adjust your cost if price drops. Our price dropped by half two weeks after we made final payment.

all my questions were either met with blank stares or very conflicting information... many passengers left the cruise early...

My opinion basically is that this sailing was more inclined and catered to people of an older age group. I am 38 and it was not a Big Bang for me.

The vast majority of the staff were stellar, and the ports-of-call were well worth seeing. There were issues I wish I'd known about, and I'll outline them in the order in which they impacted our overall experience. First, the jogging track was located DIRECTLY over our room on Deck 12, and the closure of that track until 9:00a was not enforced so we were woken every morning between 6-7am by joggers pounding over our ceiling. d someone up from security to enforce the curfew. Enforcement of the curfew NEVER happened, and the inadequate signage was never amended. Second, shore excursions didn't include adequate free time (10-20 minutes on average) and involved a lot of waiting around and disorganization. Last, the band hired to entertain on the pool deck was below average. Pool and buffets were often over-crowded so we stuck with smaller venues and avoided the pool. Stage shows, specialty restaurants and most staff were excellent but we will book our own shore excursions next time and will choose a different deck for our room.

Of all the cruise lines I’ve used I would rather cruise with Norwegian every time! It is definitely my cruise line of choice!

Ports were great! Need to work on onboard activities.

I would like to mention that this memorable voyage was facilitated by the professional services provided by Hayley Williams.

Could have used more time in Oslo. Only from 7:00 to 3:30.

We loved everything except for the Windjammer peanut scare.

We knew going into this that Genoa and Marseille are Detroit equivalents but excited for the other ports of call. We were unsure of the MSC cruise line so we tempered our expectation, although we were incredibly satisfied and impressed with their boarding procedures and efficiency. They put Norwegian (our only cruise comparison) to shame. All in all a great trip even with the 2 disappointing ports.

We loved everything except for the Windjammer peanut scare.

ship was amazing some of the excursion so long and no time in the place

It is apparent that the cruise industry is forgetting about the comforts of the cruiser too better their bottom line.
