Ship was beautiful but will explore other cruise lines before booking with Royal again. by jmm2266

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Symphony of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

Would've liked to know that there was no laundry room but a service instead. Drinks were too expensive. Some complimentary water would have been nice. Did not know about the added gratuities. Other cruise lines do not do that. Buffet was dominated by Indian food. Sit down dinner food not great. My credit that was offered to me by Royal because of an obstructed view did not show up & I had to go ask for it. Non-smoking side of the casino is excellent.

Staff wonderful. Entertainment and ship activities horrible. by laurae805

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: MSC Sinfonia / Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean

The food and staff of the Sinfonia were very good. They remembered us and what we liked. The onboard activities were lacking for people our age. If we were able to go to all of our locations it probably would not have mattered but we had 2 days at sea that were not planed and did not get to Mykonos. The evening shows were really bad.

Wonderful Cruise-- Would definitely do it again! by leumk01

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Oosterdam / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

I have been on 3 cruises prior to this one and this is definitely one of the top two. It's hard to beat Disney, especially when cruising with small children. However, I did not have small children along this time and cruising in Europe is definitely much different than cruising in the Caribbean. It's hard to choose a favorite since this cruise was so different from the Disney cruise but those two are definitely my top two!

Mediterranean Cruise by ramosj66

Sail date: / Traveled as: Singles/Friends
Ship: Norwegian Star / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

Service desk staff- needed more training, offered wrong info and seemed overwhelmed. Spa- Cancelled my appointment 3x, two for no reason and 1 because a pipe burst. Luggage damaged at embarkation port internet- I paid for was useless and staff was rude. By the time it logged on it ate up most of your minutes.

WonderfulCruise by sknippen

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

We just returned from an amazing holiday in the Mediterranean on the Norwegian Epic (out of Rome 23 May). Memorable, off the beaten path activities included visiting Jungle Parc and completing their Extremo high ropes course, (http://www.jungleparc.es/en ) on Palma de Mallorca, visiting Marguerite Island near Cannes, and the chair lift to Monte Solaro in Capri. We were able to splurge on the Haven for this trip - and the experience was exceptional! Our concierge team of Omar and David were amazing. They worked unceasingly to ensure guests' needs were met. Our butlers and cleaning crew (Maria, Roland, Bianca) were also wonderful. The entire staff was genuinely friendly and some much fun to speak with about sights and their home countries. Most of our onboard entertainment was to relax! My daughter had bought us spa passes which were well used! I cannot recommend enough. I even fell asleep a few times just lounging on the back deck. We did go to a few shows. Burn the Floor was perfectly executed - with a cool twist on classic dance. Priscilla had great costumes and dancing. Howl at the moon / the magician acts / the Beatles were also good. Food quality and presentation varied a bit. The Haven restaurant and Moderno were my favorites. The only service complaint might be a long wait for dinner, but we learned to plan for that as the week progressed. Overall, this was a one of our vest holidays ever. Was tough to leave and come back to reality!

A must do cruise! by Rocketman1963

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Independence of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

Absolutely the best cruise we’ve ever been on, and it was our 16th cruise! Norway is a place of incredible beauty. Think Alaska but Better! The ship is magnificent as well. The Flam Railway is a must do excursion. Put this cruise on the top of your bucket list! The one low point was Molde, Norway. The weather didn’t cooperate so we didn’t get to see the 222 mountain peaks and there not much else to do in Molde.

Gorgeous scenery - but had to come back to the ship by CanuckCruiser20

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Independence of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

Scenery was stunning, people friendly, cabin gorgeous. But the food was such a disappointment. Having to pay for everything - in-room movies, fish and chips, ice cream - was really off-putting. And there was nothing special: no afternoon teas, no special brunches, no glorious desserts. The food was presented poorly and often not prepared well. We missed the special touches from Princess: chocolates on the pillow, live string quartets, in-room movies, and the spa's Chocolate Indulgence body treatments.

AMAZING ship and cruise!!!! by Zuckmani1

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Rhapsody of the Seas / Destination: Europe - Mediterranean

(5/20/18 6-night Western Mediterranean) Wow! Where to start? if you are looking for a cruise with an amazing crew, great facilities, and a beautiful ship; then look at the Rhapsody of the Seas. She is a a slightly older ship, but no less beautiful and packed with state of the art features like wifi, giant video screens, and an ADULTS ONLY area called the Solarium. Our voyage was Barcelona to Venezia (Venice) with 4 ports on a 6 night cruise. The Ship was in port for many hours leaving ample time for longer excursions or great shopping. Pricing for merchandise is pretty cheap if you walk only a couple blocks off the main roads in port. Feel free to explore farther than normal as walking is a way of life in Europe and the narrower the road or alleyway, the nicer the people are. Side note: be alert for potential pick pocketers in congested areas, but that goes anywhere there are tourists. Also, to experience the wonderful people who 95% speak english, begin EVERY conversation with "Buenos Dias" in Spain, "Bonjour" in France, and "Bon Journo" in Italy...they will great you back with a smile and a warm heart....enjoy Western Europe as my wife and I did, can't wait to go back....

Western Med Cruise by carlg95069901

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Epic / Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean

This was our first cruise since our honeymoon 30 years ago. Cruise was great and the staff for the most part were friendly and helpful and helpful (other than the bartenders who did a poor job overall) The excursions were all tremendous and we took advantage of excursions each and every day. I was disappointed with the food overall at the buffet (dinners). Room was great and view from balcony was awesome.

Great European Cruise by ccburns

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Norwegian Breakaway / Destination: Europe - Northern Europe

Food was excellent! Entertainment was not that good other than the Manhattan Room was great for dancing. Compared to other cruises the entertainment was lacking.
