Europe Cruise Reviews

Overall, we enjoyed the cruise, our first to Europe.

The ports were great and everyone will love Norway. We thought the food was just ok and liked about 1/2 of the shows with the dancing and the band. The rest were sort of slow.

The service and people on the ship were overall very good in their service, attitude, and performance, especially in the dining room, the spa, and the lounges. The food was excellent, especially dinner in the main dining room. Their nightly entertainment was very high quality and displayed tremendous talent. The boat hard a hard time handling the crowds at lunch and breakfast with many time no tables for the guests in the Windjammer café, (the main place for these meals). They also seemed to have a hard time handling the guests leaving and returning to the boat when tendered with long delays and lines being the norm. Several times we barely made it to our excursions or returned to the boat on time before they left. Overall a very nice cruise with great scenery and rich history to absorb. Unless you just want to veg on the boat then be prepared for an active and busy time-makes the evening dinner and activities more rewarding!

Lots of families with small children. Crew was not attentive. Incorrect billing on statement

Excellent trip visiting countries I'd never seen before. I only wish it could have been longer!

I don't know how it could have been better. It seems Royal Caribbean thought of everything.

Such a great way to be introduced to the Baltic area! St. Petersburg was incredible. We went with a private small tour with us the six of us in our party, well worth it! The onboard staff was very attentive. Meals were great!

We had a great experience during our cruise. Dani, the person in charge of our stateroom was great, always available for anything we needed. Great job!

This was our first time sailing with NCL, we were impressed with most of the things that we had to compare to the line that we usually cruise with (red and blue winged ship stacks). Most things were comparable, but the food on our usual line was in our opinion superior. The drink package was one of our free at sea promotions and I would highly recommend the package, even on a port heavy cruise. The only stop that we did not care for was Palma De Mallorca, there was not a lot to do and did not really care for that stop. Other than that we had a great time.

The Bedbug issue was a big deal. They moved my daughter and her family to a new cabin, sanitized the room and all their belongings. They moved them back into the cabin. But is was three days out of the cruise for turmoil for all of us. They compensated me, because I had paid for all the cabins, $200 and a meal at one of their specialty restaurants. My daughter has come home to an allergic reaction to what ever they treated the room with. More than half the vacation pretty much ruined.

Two issues occurred on the ship. One I had a massage at the spa which was great but the attendant tried to sell me on two more massages and even charged my room. I had to meet with the manager to straighten out. We like to spend time in the casinos on the sea days but while on a slot machine that I was winning on the casino manager pulled my card from the machine, told me the machine had a problem and then offered to by me a drink. Very strange!

Took my son to Europe for two weeks as his graduation present. The cruise was half of the trip so we could get to more places. We are also used to cruises so it was the way to go. Cover more ground in a short period of time. Norwegian was fine. I am undecided if I will cruise with them again however. Food was just so-so.

Please, please, please get better musical talent. There were no acoustic, rock, or country performers. Everything, and I mean everything, was Latin. Please have some diversity and play something without a keyboard and a maraca.

Overall a good cruise experience -- we loved all the ports-of-call on this cruise...amazing cities. Regal Princess is nice boat in good shape overall...and the quality of food/service in the restaurants is top notch. My biggest complaint is that services pertaining to the upgrades that usually accompany purchasing a suite were sorely lacking: no spa access, so sanctuary access, room service "specials" were pretty basic, disembarkation process was sorely lacking -- we had to carry our own suitcases because we didn't want to get off with the hordes...which would never have happened as a suite purchaser with Norwegian...who had a special disembarkation process for suites, etc. I will likely stick with Norwegian in the future...whenver I splurge for a suite...or go for Viking or other more upscale provider. Suite pricing and service on Princess not worth it.

Nice vessel. Well designed cabin. Great ports of call. Very freindly and attentive staff. The entertainment in the main theater was hit and miss as was the food. some great meals but some not so great due to cheap ingredients. Surprisingly limited choice of fresh fruits. overall a very positive Trip. fair value for the $$$

This is a great cruise. We were not really concerned with food, cabin arrangements, entertainment, etc. To me they are all about the same and we have sailed with Celebrity, New Holland, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Princess. The most important thing for us was to get to see these beautiful cities. The sailing was like on glass...would hardly know you were in the water. There are about 20 hours of daylight and that is why we chose an inside room...we sleep better in darkness. When the sun is out the temperatures are a little on the cool side but perfect walking about weather. On cloudy days it is jacket weather. Beautiful part of the world!

Luggage was lost for five days which caused a lot of complications but the trip was well worth it. Beautiful ports of call, Ancient Olympia a must excursion. We plan to revisit Montenegro in the future as well!

Everything about this cruise was great. Our first time in Europe was made amazing by NCL and it's staff.

Wanted to acknowledge the wonderful help and guidance from Palma Gioeli. She was wonderful to work with and provided great assistance and follow up to make sure everything was covered, especially the discounts and such. Always concerned so our trip would be a success. Thanks Palma.

Highly recommend the Symphony of the Seas. Amazing ship that takes some time to get familiar with. Entertainment was AWESOME!
