Review summary

We enjoyed every minute of this cruise. The only thing as it was our first time to any of these ports we booked excursions. Many hours of walking. Too many with only one day at sea to rest up.

You're right. I could never do all this ports with only 1 sea day. They are great ports though. We were on Nieuw Amsterdam last March and loved it. The staff was always happy and smiling, especially at the buffet and our cabin steward always called us by name everytime he saw us and asked how our day was at the different ports. We never had to ask for anything. The food in buffet and dining room was absolutely delicious and the burgers at the Dive-In were the best I ever had. No other s lot to do on the ship during the day, bug that's what the ports are for. And loved sitting around the pool with no loud band playing, nice soft piped in music. We'll definitely go again

AWFUL!!! Never again!!

The ports were wonderful. Oosterdam needs to be refurbished, cabin was nice but common areas old, chipped wallcoverings and uncomfortable furniture. Food mediocre. Cabin stewarts were excellent, other staff members didn't seem to be familiar with ship

Amazing Mediterranean Cruise
