We are a couple. This was our first cruise of any sort. We are about 70 and in fair shape. We are experienced independent travelers. We used a land tour only once (in China). We chose this cruise for its Eastern Mediterranean itinerary, its dates, its port of departure/return, and its discounted price. The ship's itinerary included Athens,Istanbul, and Venice, three cities we had previously ...
What a shame HAL can't get it right, the reviews are telling the story,take notice to the reviews, you are hitting your customers with too many add on costs.
$12.00 us per day per person cabin gratuity to pay for wages..total rip off!
Over priced beverages then you add a gratuity charge on top...total rip off
Port excursions charges are double the price you can get at the ports ...
This was our first cruise experience and we are now totally hooked on cruising. Not having anything to compare with we were completely open to a ship experience. Absolutely everything was amazing from our first step on board to dining experiences, entertainment, shore excursions, and the most friendly professional staff imaginable. Wish we had done this years ago. The stateroom we had was just ...
Embarked in Venice for a cruise through the Greek Islands and Istanbul early June.
Its the little things that make or break a cruise and unfortunately it was a combination of little things that spoilt this cruise for us.
Embarkation in Venice was quick and efficient, no more than an hour and we were on board, Disembarkation efficiently handled, but as we left the ship the afternoon of ...
We sailed on the Eurodam May 18, 2016 out of Venice. We went early and stayed in Venice for two nights at the Hotel Ala, which we would highly recommend. Small hotel with excellent location and nice breakfast. Venice is a wonderful city with lots to see.
We boarded the Eurodam with no lines and enjoyed the ship for hours before sailing. Our luggage arrived in our room before dinner. Our ...
Just got back from sailing on the Eurodam from Venice. We had a one night stay prior to sailing in Venice at the Bonvecchiati Hotel. The water taxi transfers from the airport to the hotel went smoothly. Our room at the hotel was a little small but great location. On board ship, we were booked in a Deluxe Suite on deck 7. Our cabin was 7072 and our room attendants were excellent! Great size ...
Istanbul and Ephesus(Kusadasi) have been on my bucket list for a long time. Add Athens and several Greek islands, in addition to embarking and disembarking in one of my favorite cities - Venice, and it was a dream itinerary.
The ports did not disappoint. Even our last port before returning to Venice, did not disappoint. Who knew that Argistoli, Cephalonia, Greece would be this beautiful, quaint ...
Nothing really negative to say about this cruise.We got on and off without any problems,the cabin was was great and the service thruout the ship was the best.
We toured each and every port and had a great time in each.The only thing we found not to our liking was the Food.This was our 31st cruise and I would say the selection and quality of the food was poor.
We ate more food in ports then ...
**In the interest of full disclosure this was a "shakedown cruise" that was not open to the general public and some work was still being completed in some areas (installation of some art pieces and so forth). I will not discuss the work/workers we encountered as that goes with the territory and all items I noticed during the cruise were fixed/finished/installed/etc by the time we left.*** My ...
The above referenced cruise was the most disappointing my wife and I have taken. under the guise of inclement weather the captain cancelled three ports reducing the itinerary by 38% from eight to five. he made several announcements that existing weather conditions eliminated any possibility of making alternate ports throughout the entire coast line of the Mediterranean. in lieu of visiting ports ...
