Europe Cruise Reviews

All in all we had a great time. Will we do it again, NO. It was our first visit to Europe and we rushed thru every port we went to. We were getting up at 5 am in the morning (as if back at work). If we go on a cruise again we will need to relax and maybe do just one or two short tours not the 10 hour tour we did. The ship is great and you need to enjoy it, so you need to stay on the ship.

Norwegian Breakaway is a large cruise. However, the evening entertainment is poor. You won't get to enjoy a show every night like Princess Cruiseline. They changed the port from Stockholm to Nynashamn. We wasted 4 hours to get on and back to the cruise.

Overall great ship. Although a little tired. Cabin 9019 was nice and quiet. Close to the theater and a couple of restaurants. No information regarding formal night so we missed out but didn't notice people dressed up. Lovely cruise, I just don't recommend the ports.

Great staff, food, entertainment, accomodations and ammenities! Celebrity really is well organized and all excursion departures, embarkment and disembarkment always go so smoothly. I'm always amazed by the ease in which this seems to be accomplished. Thank you for an amazing & memorable trip!!

I can't say enough of the service on this ship! I would sail again with Rhapsody of the Seas based on the impeccable service from the crew. Excellent!

An absolutely wonderful cruise on the beautiful Sapphire Princess. The ship is in good shape after its recent dry dock. New beds are very comfortable. Food and service were great in both dining rooms and Horizon Court. Paul Burton was simply marvelous in Crooners.

Amazing cruise in the most beautiful Mediterranean and Aegean setting. Far exceeded our expectations. Crown Princess is a beautiful but aging ship. Carpetting needs replacing in rooms. Service was excellent. Very relaxing.

Would not repeat this cruis ship. Staff needs to improve their english speaking skills as well as guest experience training. Food was dreadful with the exception of Giovannis. Pool experience was terrible-too many people. Kids should not be allowed in hot tubs.

It was a beautiful, interesting cruise. The service overall, except in the caffe on the 14th floor, was excellent.. The staterooms are very comfortable and clean. Entertainment was excellent. I wish Celebrity would exercise more control over groups of teen agers being loud and running in hallway.

The ports of call and natural beauty of the fjords is unmatched. One of our top 3 cruises EVER! Princess Cruise lines has made a lot of cutbacks....it seems. Things that seemed a little off: No activities around pool on sea days, smaller food selection in buffet, cleanliness in public restrooms and elevators not up to par, lackluster entertainers--except for Bravo--last night of cruise.

Could have used more time in Bergen and less in Olden. Crew friendly and upbeat and trip very enjoyable.

Great cruise. The service was marvelous. Our only complaint was the quality of the food at the buffet. The dining room is excellent but the buffet left alot to be desired.

Was a wonderful trip - the ship and itinerary did not disappoint. This was my first Seabourn cruise and I am sold! Ovation just put to sea in the spring and some of the crew are still finding their feet perhaps, but nothing major wrong at all. I am ready for my next sail on Ovation.

St Petersburg was too rigid and formulaic, our private tour left a lot to be desired

So much fun. The staff was great and the service was superb. I wish I had more time at all the ports but that can't be helped. Yummy food, and fun entertainment. The boat could use some updating, our shower was falling apart, thought the staff quickly re-did some tiles. But we had no problems outside that!

12 Days sounded like a good idea when we booked. Truth is it was a little too long. Decent ship with strong ports of call. The cost was reasonable but the balcony room we had was very small and the shower with beyond tiny. The entertainment sucked on the deck as well as the theater. I dont think they had a cruise director. They did have a couple people that spoke via mic to the hand full of people willing to play their cheap kiddie games, so I assume one of them might have been the director. The deck music was on a loop so the 20th time we heard the same crappy music was really enough.

The strongest aspect of this cruise was the itinerary. Have never seen a better line up of ports in the Eastern Med. This was the reason we took this cruise and we are glad we did. We liked Norwegian's free style cruising. We don't go on cruises to get dressed in tux and tails.

A few of the excursions on this itinerary seemed like they were just thrown in to avoid having a shorter cruise. I think that there must be some better ports than Bastia and Olbia.

There were three separate and distinct groups of passengers — the French, the English speakers (mostly Australian) and some Chinese. We found the French to be snobbish and unfriendly.

Great cruise and enjoyed all of the ports. Excellent service and greatly improved food
