Middle East Cruise Reviews

Do not i repeat, do not book an norwegian/oceana cruise. You have been warned we are on the around the world cruise currently. the cruise is 196 days from miami florida to new york. It is utterly a complete disappoint. If i was to write every disappointment, we have experienced up to now it would be 10 pages. We are going to try to condense it. First, they advertises the best cuisine at sea. That ...

Joined the cruise just before the New Year and was impressed by the decoration and food variety. On NY’s eve, we were invited to the poolside party to join the music and dance before count down. The ice sculpture and costumes were free to enjoy and wear. Passengers were all dressed up in the event to cheer for the New year’s arrival. After a late night, we were welcomed by an incredible Buffet ...

Pros: Specialty restaurants had great food and service Entertainment and variety excellent Art courses terrific teachers and classes Cons: they cancelled 7 ports with no refunds of loss port, port fees, VISA fees etc. Terrible we have done over 70 cruises and plan on doing many more but will never use them again. Their policy has changed and any cruise line we have taken has ...

I've cruised on numerous cruise lines and would likely never choose MSC again. Crew is friendly and works so hard - I honestly felt bad for them! They are understaffed, their managers are rude to them (yelling, snapping -- in front of customers?! Appalling.) Staff aren't given streamlined processes and it shows. (Mostly at the bars - unnecessarily crazy for servers and bartenders) Ship ...

We chose the Viking Panama Canal 16 day cruise because of the opportunity for extended sea days mixed with South American tropical ports of call. This itinerary afforded us ample time aboard to take advantage of multiple Nordic Spa days, daily promenade walks at sunrise, sunsets on our veranda and star lite nights. Quiet times to sunbath with a good book or reflect upon the soul stirring live ...

I expected high class service and the guest being treated as very well. 1) our anniversary date and my food allergy we annouced by booking.. The information Was not sent through to the organisation at the ship. Just a sorry from the hostess.. But nothing else was. Being organised 2) In a restaurant i asked a waiter for some extra butter for the bread... His responsed very short and rude: I ...

This was my very first ocean cruise. I had specific requirements in my search for the right cruise. I wasn’t interested in a party atmosphere with loud disco music, I wanted to avoid children running around the ship, and I wasn’t interested in spending time with gambling or casinos. I wanted a cruise with diverse dining options in restaurants that didn’t require me to become best friends with a ...

We selected this cruise as it called at ports we wanted to visit particularly Oman. Sadly, the war put an end to 4 out of 8 ports of call. Whilst we appreciate this was unfortunate & understood, we were not offered any acceptable alternatives as we had paid for business class flights to Dubai so cancelling was not an option. Also, if you cancelled you lost 25% of the amount paid & the remaining ...

the good (YAY!)— -doha, abu dhabi, and dubai excursions booked through MSC; the guides were excellent. -beautiful ship and kept very clean. -friendly staff (for the most part). the bad (meh…)— -the food. i’m not picky at all and the MDR food was poor. the descriptions didn’t match the food served (i.e. ceviche, cream of asparagus soup, etc). the buffet food was decent. room service ...

Firstly I’ve no idea why so many poor reviews and not great reviews in abundance . We’ve been on a fair number of cruises , this is first time with msc . We booked a suite class (yatch club) as we often do on cruise ships .. The service was excellent , standards across the ship were very good . The staff across the ship were friendly and helpful. I agree with some reviews that say some team were ...
