Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East) Cruise Reviews

I would highly recommend this cruise to someone that wants to explore the middle east in significant safety and luxury. We passed through a high pirate risk area for over three days. We took on specially trained security crew for that period of the cruise, and the ship was blacked out at night to help make us harder to see. The Middle East is a very unique are of the world and someplace to explore with a very open mind. We loved the trip!

Uniworld's team was very professional and helped with each aspect of the tour. We were very pleased and will consider them in future travel plans. The itinerary covered a lot of territory in a very short time. On days where it was too hot or we were too tired to participate in excursions, the team checked on us to see if they could do anything for us. They were very good at what they do.

This trip is an incredible experience that we will never forget. We recommend it to everyone.

This was the first cruise that my husband and I had ever been on, and it was such a great experience that we are already planning the next one. Many thanks to MSC and the super awesome staff members that made this experience amazing. We felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Our MSC Bellissima cruise was lovely! Staff was great, food could have been better, but overall a good time.

This was my first ever cruise. Overall I was impressed with the ship and the facilities. Pools should have been bigger and maybe better ways to set up restaurant reservations but the only major flaw which can be managed by downloading the app offline is that the Costa app does not traditionally work on USA phones.

What an adventure but what a hassle. Missed out on the 'Polar Plunge", didn't get to explore Antarctica as the itinerary depicted but did see a lot of neat stuff. A 12 day cruise that should have had 4 days at sea actually amounted to 9 days at sea. Would not have gone had I known what was to happen.

This was the trip of a lifetime. The one caution I have does not reflect on SilverSea at all - it's the Chilean government. Perhaps you could provide some extra guidance on filling out all those forms. Our traveling companions were sent back to the US because the forms were not completed correctly. I am sorry they missed an outstanding experience.

excellent experience until disembarkation ; that was a nightmare

Suitable for younger guests. Not recommended for the elderly or persons with mobility problems.

The cruise was full of educational lectures, friendly folks, good food and drinks, and hot tub fun. It felt like home away from home and I couldn't have had a more amazing time.

For the price we paid of the cruise, I expected a lot more from Crystal in all aspects of the cruise. It is my first with Crystal and I am quite disappointed with my experience. I am not sure I will choose them again in my future cruise.

Overall the cruise was wonderful, we visited beautiful islands, met nice people and made lasting memories. We are ready for our next adventure

Accepted altered itinerary pre cruise at a discount. Substituted ports had already been to. Ports cancelled without reason. Late getting in to one port. COVID tests for each country visited. Too many days at sea. On board credit promised pre cruise not honored on board. Like to walk at night on deck. Ship lights turned off on three nights prevented doing this safely. No reason given. Service from staff excellent. COVID testing smooth. Ship was in excellent condition.

Primary reason for taking this cruise we’re the visits to Israel, which were cancelled by Israel (not NCL’s doing) along with the cancelled stops in Salalah and AbuDhabi

After taking 30 cruises so far I liked this one the most!!! The ship, the service, etc.

Loved this cruise would definitely consider doing this cruise again. The service, the ship, the personnel were great.One of the most enjoyable cruises we have taken

We had a good and interesting time even though the Corona virus threatened the trip. We were fortunate to stay just ahead of major itinerary changes and got to see what we wanted to see. There was also needed time for relaxation and on board lectures.

this is good vacation we'll do it again. and we have a good trip

We loved the cruise though the ship did not complete its itinerary. NCL and Oceania did the right thing by diverting us to Dubai and canceling their Asian itineraries. Muscat was great!
