Greece Cruise Reviews

A group of six of us traveled to Athens for a 7 day cruise to Israel, Cyprus, Turkey other ports in Greece, and found the Norwegian Jade to be in terrific shape. It clearly showed that great care had been taken in retrofitting in 2022, and it was a nice change from other ships we have been on in years past. Four passengers in our group stayed in one of the penthouse suites, and I cannot ...

Cruised the Eastern Med, Athens to Athens 14 days September Fourth time over 6 years on the Encore. Positives The crew are as good as ever, service excellent everywhere. Great itinerary with some interesting small ports. The ship rides well and is well designed. The main restaurant and the Colonnade are excellent for dinner. Easy ship to relax on. Really good bar ...

We actually had a great time on this cruise, although some of the reviews are pretty accurate with regard to the plumbing and mechanical challenges the boat had with hot water, water pressure, air, TV, water leaks, toilet, etc. But, it was a bit of a shakedown cruise for the company and I’m sure they will work through all of that if they haven’t already. When we arrived the embarkation process ...

We had been on the Celestyal Crystal in 2019, and decided to repeat it as the itinerary was much better and we love Greece. Anyway, we had a deck 10 junior suite with balcony. embarkation was quick and easy, the cabin was fine, we thought. We got up on Sunday to find no hot water, cured by maintenance after 30 mins! Monday and Tuesday mornings it was barely lukewarm. Wednesday no hot water at ...

Although I'm a veteran cruiser (more than 19 cruises at this point), this was my first experience on a Star Clippers ship. Sailing on this type of a ship offers a unique cruise experience, and in my opinion has the following pros and cons: PROS: • The Star Flyer has a passenger capacity of 170 max, but we had 155 on our sailing with all rooms occupied but one. This low passenger count ...

We chose Celestyal Cruise Line mainly for its itinerary. This cruise line had the best options for Greek Islands as well as spent the most amount of time at the ports we wanted most (Santorini and Mykonos). We were in an SG suite and the room was much nicer than I anticipated, with ample room for my family of three. Boarding for this cruise line was unlike any I have ever been on. Our ...

I realized the ship when booking was older but had been under renovation. However the food was very limited and the same every night on the breakfast and dinner buffet with limited hours. If you are looking for a happy hr pool side snack Buffett or late night it does not exist. Our room had wet carpet that I talked to them about 6 times but nothing ever was fixed or followed up on. The TVs and ...

Sadly, it is the last day of our cruise. I am happily sitting in the Constellation at deck 11 forward tip of the ship lounge with a cup of coffee, enjoying the view of Hydra. I love this lounge. It is huge, 3/4s around floor to seating windows, air conditioned and quiet most of day time. First, I will comment on a couple of board type topics. We had chocolates on our pillows, our room was ...

We have sailed with Celebrity before and had high expectations. The ship looked good on 1st impression. Plus: Attentive and hardworking despite so few. Smart clean lounges Good sized balcony Goods customer service staff. Pleasant coffee lounge with cakes Easy embarkation Minus: Old accessible mini-van with very poor suspension collected us from airport to Ravenna. ...

In 18 years of cruising this was the worst cabin location we have ever encountered. Aqua cabins are located immediately below the Sauna/Solarium which entails being woken at 7 am each morning by furniture, etc being dragged across the deck above. In addition the balconies on these cabins are entirely devoid of direct sunshine due to the very ugly and huge overhang of the deck above. We have ...
